Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Are you the future,
Or are you the past,
The past have you been chosen,
Or are you the last,
The message was sent,
They seem so un...REAL!!
Cuz now i'm made of plastic wire and steel,
AND STEEL!!
Follow for now and follow for this cuz everybody follows for nothing at all,
Follow for now and follow for this cuz everybody follows for nothing at all,
Supernova, ya supernova,
Supernova goes pop
Supernova, ya think its over,
But supernova don't stop,
Can you explain, just what you are,
I've never been this close to a...STAR!! alright,
The message was sent, you know what to do,
Cuz everybody needs to be someone don't you,
Alright, DON'T YOU!!
Follow for now and follow for this cuz everybody follows for nothing at all,
Follow for now and follow for this cuz everybody follows for nothing at all
Supernova, ya supernova,
Supernova goes pop,
Supernova, ya think its over,
But the supernova don't stop,
Supernova, ya supernova,
Supernova goes pop,
Supernova, ya think its over,
But the supernova don't stop,
Lets go,
Supernova, that supernova,
That supernova goes pop,
Supernova, you think its over,
But that supernova goes pop
(yelled)
Supernova, supernova
That supernova goes pop, alright

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
i think this song is talking about, you know, a band, and they are really good at first, but not many people know about them. But then they start getting popular, and soon, they arent about the music any more, just making money, and they are so full of themselves. Garrett
