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.
Enable to bring out the something
You want to know beneath the snow
In winter you're an affliction
That repeatedly defeated me
I'll find you somewhere
Show you how much I care
Know that there is no escape
from my snow brigade
Bring out the someone
You need to see for jealousy
We all know one day you'll leave behind
Your everything
And feel the spring come
'Cause I'll find you somewhere
Show you how much I care
Know that there is no escape
from my snow brigade
My arms retreat
I wish they were there to hold you
I'll find you somewhere
Show you how much I care
Know that there is no escape
From my snow brigade
You want to know beneath the snow
In winter you're an affliction
That repeatedly defeated me
I'll find you somewhere
Show you how much I care
Know that there is no escape
from my snow brigade
Bring out the someone
You need to see for jealousy
We all know one day you'll leave behind
Your everything
And feel the spring come
'Cause I'll find you somewhere
Show you how much I care
Know that there is no escape
from my snow brigade
My arms retreat
I wish they were there to hold you
I'll find you somewhere
Show you how much I care
Know that there is no escape
From my snow brigade

Audioslave
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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
people should stop connect every song with drugs.
@mitzie Yeah, those who are triggered commenting that snow brigade is equivalent to cocain are the real cocain addicts here, be real, dont just say "my friend told me that when you use cocain it snows" or "someone told me that cocain do this etc.." but lets just be real instead because the truth is that it's their own experiences and write it down in the comments. they are the real coke addicts and so am I and I am not afraid of how bad user I am from the past.
To me, the lyrics, like those of the whole of Frengers, are somewhat sinister. That's the best thing about Mew imho - on top, they're all sugary scandipop goodness, but listen to the lyrics and there are much deeper, more sinister shades of meaning. So amazing. Mew are possibly the best band to have ever existed
NO ONE HAS COMMENTED ON THIS SONG!?!? oh my god, its so amazing, probably one of mew's best.
I have absolutely no idea what they are talking about but I like the sound. I get so confused with islandic music in general, perhaps they are more artistic and insightful than me.
This song is just awesome.... its rocks......does anyone know the meaning of this song...cuz this surely is one of mew's best.
Aren't they Danish? Perhaps that's what's confusing you. The lyrics aren't brilliant (as with most bands whose first language isn't English but whose record companies insist they sing in English) but the music just reminds me of a beautiful snowy night and that's why I like it.
incoherentlove: They are Danish. :) robotjosh: They sang in english before they signed with their record company.
this was the first ever song i heard by mew a few years ago when a close friend made me a mixtape; hopefully seeing them live in september -fingers crossed-
i think all Mew's lyrics are amazing!! They seem to speak better English than me! This is no where near one of their best songs but it's still amazing. Their new album is great and i'm going to see them in two days :D.
this song is absolute winter pop, slightly out-of-this world and a little bit violent... snow brigade is a very good nickname for mew themselves, with all the ice, snow, lonliness and winter in their songs, and yet they are like a rescue... there is a kind of vibrancy in all that, so i say THEY are the snow brigade.
