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.
Through the longest night by this candle light
We stand to cut the dark in two
And the concrete rain shattered window panes
But no it never shattered you
As long as there is blood inside my veins
I will sing this out
Till the sun beats down
And we rise to meet the sky
On that day I swear
I will see you there
I will heal these wounded eyes
These wounded eyes
And the 12th day showed that the sun still rose
As we tried to find our way
Through the steel and smoke
Though it smouldered
We were cold and blanketed by grey
All we had was everything we gave
I will sing this out
Till the sun beats down
And we rise to meet the sky
On that day I swear
I will see you there
I will heal these wounded eyes
These wounded eyes
And our scars have made us stronger
Turning strangers into brothers
We remember
We recover
As we hold on to each other
And our scars have made us stronger
Turning strangers into brothers
As we hold on to each other
In a silent moment we think of you now
I will sing this out
Till the sun beats down
And we rise to meet the sky
On that day I swear
I will see you there
I will heal these wounded eyes
These wounded eyes
These empty spaces across a bruised skyline
The names and faces
I can't erase them from my mind
These empty spaces across a bruised skyline
The names and faces
I can't erase them from my mind
We stand to cut the dark in two
And the concrete rain shattered window panes
But no it never shattered you
As long as there is blood inside my veins
I will sing this out
Till the sun beats down
And we rise to meet the sky
On that day I swear
I will see you there
I will heal these wounded eyes
These wounded eyes
And the 12th day showed that the sun still rose
As we tried to find our way
Through the steel and smoke
Though it smouldered
We were cold and blanketed by grey
All we had was everything we gave
I will sing this out
Till the sun beats down
And we rise to meet the sky
On that day I swear
I will see you there
I will heal these wounded eyes
These wounded eyes
And our scars have made us stronger
Turning strangers into brothers
We remember
We recover
As we hold on to each other
And our scars have made us stronger
Turning strangers into brothers
As we hold on to each other
In a silent moment we think of you now
I will sing this out
Till the sun beats down
And we rise to meet the sky
On that day I swear
I will see you there
I will heal these wounded eyes
These wounded eyes
These empty spaces across a bruised skyline
The names and faces
I can't erase them from my mind
These empty spaces across a bruised skyline
The names and faces
I can't erase them from my mind

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

@[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.
The meaning to this song is pretty easy if you have the cd. It's about 9/11. The lyrics are put over where the two towers would be today. The lyrics themselves are pretty self explanitory too.
