One and three, you're here
(one and three, you're here
To tell me we can't do this)

To tell me we can't do this
(three for three, I'll disagree)

Anymore

Your hair and face against the mirror
As I take the steps to save what's left of me
Someone's out when it's over

People steal from you
And they take anything they choose

It's good to see you
I missed you last night
That's such a lovely color
It goes with your eyes

But we fall asleep
I just wanted to say
This all seems so easy
But there's choices to make

Can't decide, then look at the faces
Candlelight
We're burning the pages
But ask us why

And hurting ourselves with this false start
Resign yourself
And always be (and we pretend)
Without the one (it simply gets easier)
Thing you need (but it doesn't get easier)
Reading words with no replies

When we have these mornings where we can say goodbye

I wanted to mean everything to you
But this isn't right
You keep coming back disassembled and I
Keep losing this fight

I won't
Answer

Dancing on this all I go
No one in the city knows
Confidence can take you
Nerves try to shake you
From going all the way

It's not that far

It's good to see you
I missed you last night
That's such a lovely color
It goes with your eyes

Before we fall asleep
Just wanted to say
This all seems so easy
There's choices to make

We watch the tide roll in
With cold air and coffeecake
Holding our words at list
Stopping the sounds they make

We know the way to go
We know each step to take
To be here

These words with no replies
Stopping we's and starting I's
This need is killing me
And taking me over

I wanted to mean everything to you
But this isn't right
You keep coming back disassembled and I
Keep losing this fight

Ministry
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.

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”
