Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
You're on your own my little nightmare, you cannot stay here
It's far too bright for you
If they attack you, just lay there
Play dead dear, it's your only hope of pulling through
And seconds, they seem like a lifetime
A dream, recurring, a dream that can't come true
And they'll pin it all on you
After all you've been put through
"Sadie G, she's crazy, see?"
That's what the white coats say
Now, Ms. Susan A, you're losing
Every opportunity to put us all away
You run along, my little nightmare
Your job is done here
You've scared them all to death
If they revive them, just sit there
Just smile dear, make them thankful for every breath
The sentence may seem like a lifetime
A scream, that's curdling the blood they found on you
And your knives and clothing too
Charlie's broken .22
"Sadie G, she's crazy, see?"
That's what the white coats say
Now, Ms. Susan A, you're losing
Every opportunity
Well, they found you and they shipped you up the river
The same way that you've bound and gagged
You've shot and stabbed
You tried to set 'em free, but they've thrown away the keys
"He represented a God to me, that was so beautiful
That I'd do anything for him
I'd do anything for God
Even murder, if I believed it was right, how could it not be right
If it was done with love?
I have no remorse for doing what was right to me, I have no guilt in me"
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
It's far too bright for you

After all you've been put through
"Sadie G, she's crazy, see?"
That's what the white coats say
Now, Ms. Susan A, you're losing
Every opportunity to put us all away
You run along, my little nightmare
Your job is done here
You've scared them all to death

Just smile dear, make them thankful for every breath
The sentence may seem like a lifetime

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.

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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday

@[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.
I think the goal of this one is to point out all the stupid things people do for religion. That's what the quote makes me think, anyway. Basically, it's saying Sadie put all her faith in Manson and ultimately everybody just turned on her and let her fend for herself, which presumably kinda shows how they feel about religion. People put all their faith in something and as far as they're concerned, they rarely get anything back.
