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.
Last night's dream,
we set up at the beach,
we watched the waves come crashing right down.
We took off all our clothes.
We rolled around in the cold (dark?), dark sand.
You said you loved the way it felt between your toes
The way you felt that night,
please reach high
Don't let me fall tonight.
Yea let's...taste the sky.
Taste the sky with me tonight.
Well if I have to wake up one more time
with these awfully(?) tight red eyes
Never let that (???) bright the sky
Well, I'd rather....
Begin to reach high
Don't let me fall tonight
Yeah let's taste the sky...
Taste the sky with me tonight.
Begin to reach high,
Don't let me fall tonight
Yeah let's taste the sky....
Taste the sky with me tonight.
we set up at the beach,
we watched the waves come crashing right down.
We took off all our clothes.
We rolled around in the cold (dark?), dark sand.
You said you loved the way it felt between your toes
The way you felt that night,
please reach high
Don't let me fall tonight.
Yea let's...taste the sky.
Taste the sky with me tonight.
Well if I have to wake up one more time
with these awfully(?) tight red eyes
Never let that (???) bright the sky
Well, I'd rather....
Begin to reach high
Don't let me fall tonight
Yeah let's taste the sky...
Taste the sky with me tonight.
Begin to reach high,
Don't let me fall tonight
Yeah let's taste the sky....
Taste the sky with me tonight.

Techno Ted

Audioslave
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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
There are a few parts (designated by parentheses and question marks) that I am unsure about. So if any of you guys can fix it, feel free. I just noticed that this wasn't up and thought a posting was in order. Enjoy. - E.
Yeah yeah, cool song. I wanna get nakey on the beach!!! lol yea..but yea. Poor recording but you can still love the song. Maybe it's just my version of it. Whatever, musically and lyrically an awesoe song.
Yay! I wish i were naked on teh beach...
sounds like that line could be... "with these awfully tight red eyes staring at that bright blue sky..."
i dont know haha i d/led this song and its a real poor quality so its kinda hard to tell but it would make sense- instead of staring at the bright blue sky, he would rather 'begin to reach high..'
anyone know where i can get songs like this, lowercase you and ivy league. esp the demo version?
