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.
This is for us, us, and not for anybody else.
And this is for us, not for the underground hip hop fans, nah, this is for us.
This ain't for be -boys, rap writers,
Djs, and mcs, or any of them, 'cause ah..this is for us.
Not for the vinyl buyin' break beat collectors
With dirty fingertips and notebooks, this is for us.
And this is for us, not for the students and historians either,
'cause this is for us, the arch,
Buck 65, the hacks, the slam, dj critical,
Stinkin' rich, uncle climax, achilles, jesus murphy, and johnny rockwell.
This is for us, not for canadians and not for americans.
Not even for earth, this is only for us.
This isn't for you, this is for us, this is for us.
This isn't for sale and damn sure ain't free, this is for us.
This is for us, not for anybody else, this is for us.
mix and match some fix it tracks with clits and cracks,
Shit's like burning candles, just a whole lot of wicks and wax.
And I don't give a f' for battles between the coast guard,
I'm sayin' both beyond some weak ass shit for the most part.
Ya take a whole lot of groups that are mostly phonies such as
Seventy-five to eighty percent of the shit that tony touches.
Sometimes I want to cry because I'm sick of this daily vomit,
And somethin' dope comes along about as often as haley's comet.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
this isn't for sale and damn sure ain't free, this is for us so simple, i love it, has anyone noticed how huge bucks voice has changed? its kinda methodic and soothing now, and his old stuff is like snappy, quick and youthful, but its all kick ass
