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.
i waited for You today
but You didn't show
no no no
i needed You today
so where did You go?
You told me to call
said You'd be there
and though i haven't seen You
are You still there?
i cried out with no reply
and i can't feel You by my side
so i'll hold tight to what i know
You're here ... and i'm never alone
and though i cannot see You
and i can't explain why
such a deep, deep reassurance
You've placed in my mind
we cannot separate
cause You're part of me
and though You're invisible
i'll trust the unseen
i cried out with no reply
and i can't feel You by my side
so i'll hold tight to what i know
You're here ... and i'm never alone
we cannot separate
cause You're part of me
and though You're invisible
i'll trust the unseen
i cried out with no reply
and i can't feel You by my side
so i'll hold tight to what i know
You're here ... and i'm never alone
but You didn't show
no no no
i needed You today
so where did You go?
You told me to call
said You'd be there
and though i haven't seen You
are You still there?
i cried out with no reply
and i can't feel You by my side
so i'll hold tight to what i know
You're here ... and i'm never alone
and though i cannot see You
and i can't explain why
such a deep, deep reassurance
You've placed in my mind
we cannot separate
cause You're part of me
and though You're invisible
i'll trust the unseen
i cried out with no reply
and i can't feel You by my side
so i'll hold tight to what i know
You're here ... and i'm never alone
we cannot separate
cause You're part of me
and though You're invisible
i'll trust the unseen
i cried out with no reply
and i can't feel You by my side
so i'll hold tight to what i know
You're here ... and i'm never alone

Fortnight
Taylor Swift

The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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 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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

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/
ok i am sorry..i thought this song was about a relationship..but then i read it was about god..ok..if u wanna write a song about him..this is liek the best one..i just am in love with the music it reminds me of EVANESCENCE
@MidnightAngels Agreed<br />
This is probably one of my all-time favorite songs because it is so true. We all feel like God has left us and one point or another, but we just have to hold tight to what we know, he's here, and we're never alone.
I also thought it was about a relationship, but it definitely seems to be about God. That doesn't, however, mean it can't be about a relationship. When I hear this song I think about the show Doctor Who (anyone watch??) because I first heard it in a Doctor Who video. So for me, it's about one of the characters (the Doctor) being away from the other (Rose) and how she still feels and needs him even though he is away from her. (A tear because Billie is leaving :'( NO!!!) Or it could be about when someone you care deeply about dies and how you still need them and you can feel them with you.
I'm not religious (at all, I'm an atheist) so for me it's about a relationship. It just depends on the person listening to the song. You could think it's about God or a relationship, it could go either way. That's why it's a great song!
this song reminds me that God is always with me even though im not worth it
This is like a biography of my faith life so far. Thank you, Barlowgirl. My relationship with Christ was so hard to put into words, and you did it for me.
This song to me means that no matter what is going on in your life if you feel like your alone b/c you dont have anyone by your side God is always there for you and you know he is there even tho you cant see him hold on tight to your faith in him and your never alone
Obviously about God. What a surprise, eh? Barlow Girl singing about God. Must be apocalypse, or something.
What I like about this song is that for those non-Christian folk like myself, we don't have to hear direct references to God. Not that I hate Christianity, of course. It'd be the same as hearing a song that goes 'ALLAH ROCKS!'
Anyways. It's very easy to percieve this song as a love song, perhaps to a lover whose died or moved on.
Haha yes, I I'm non-Cristian.. too. In fact, I have no religion. But the only thing I think is that this song isn't about 'God'. It's probably about a relationship of some type, where the man had not been able to talk/see her for some sort of reason... still a good song, God worshiping crap or not.
hey, i AM a christain but i still thought it was about a relationship. in my opinion it sounds like she's saying that the boy just left her but she will never forget him and she'll always be there for her.
This song is amazing to me it means that in your heart God is telling you that you are never alone even though sometimes you may feel like you are.God is always with you.
i love this song! amen Siaws9650! such amazing lyrics sung by such an amazing voice. its about GOD but i can see how it could be about a relationship. soo good! one of my favorites
This song, to me, is definitely about a loved one passing on and about how they are needed and how you can still feel them with you.
