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.
Meet the wretched
It's calling, calling
So, you're bored and you're sitting
Your soul is fitting
Let's go to town and
Meet the wretched
I hear, they say, night time is calling
The sky is falling
Let's go to town and meet the wretched
Every
Time we go to town we're taking what they're giving
Let's go downtown and take a drink, we're taking shit from no one
To
Fight to win to gain ground, gain ground
To kick up dust and gain ground, gain ground
To fight to win to gain ground, gain
Ground
Come and meet the
Come and meet the wretched tonight
So you're bored, of home you tire
Then let's see
Inspire
Let's go downtown and meet the wretched
See, I told you, it's what we desire
All Hell fire
Let's go downtown and meet the
Wretched
Every time we go to town we're taking what they're giving
Let's go downtown and take a drink, we're taking shit from
No one
To fight to win to gain ground, gain ground
To kick up dust and gain ground, gain ground
To fight to win to gain
Ground, gain ground
Come and meet the
Come and meet the wretched tonight
Sell our souls for a good time tonight
We're
Here to drink, we're here to fight
We'll set our wicked nature free
We'll fuck the moon and mourn the stars tonight
Mourn
The stars tonight
We'll get so high we'll commune with the beast
We'll go so big there'll be nothing left of us
For the
Mourning
Go and meet the wretched
Go and meet the wretched
Wretched, wretched
It's in the air, we may die tonight
I'm living my life fast and free
It's in the air, we may die tonight
So tonight it's fast as fuck
Go and meet the
Wretched
Go and meet the wretched
Wretched, wretched
Fast
As fuck
The wretched
It's calling, calling
So, you're bored and you're sitting
Your soul is fitting
Let's go to town and
Meet the wretched
I hear, they say, night time is calling
The sky is falling
Let's go to town and meet the wretched
Every
Time we go to town we're taking what they're giving
Let's go downtown and take a drink, we're taking shit from no one
To
Fight to win to gain ground, gain ground
To kick up dust and gain ground, gain ground
To fight to win to gain ground, gain
Ground
Come and meet the
Come and meet the wretched tonight
So you're bored, of home you tire
Then let's see
Inspire
Let's go downtown and meet the wretched
See, I told you, it's what we desire
All Hell fire

Every time we go to town we're taking what they're giving

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
