Like a sentence of Death
I've got no options left
I've got nothing to show now
I'm down on the ground, I've got seconds to live
And you can't go now
'Cause love, like an invisible bullet,
Shot me down and I'm bleeding
Yeah I'm bleeding

And if you go furious angels will bring you back to me
Will bring you back to me

You're a dirty needle
You're in my blood and there's no curin' me
Yeah
And I want to run, like the blood from a wound
To place you can't see me
'Cause love, like a blow to the head,
Has left me stunned and I'm bleeding
Yeah, I'm bleeding

And if you go furious angels will bring you back to me
Yeah,

You're a cold piece of steel between my ribs
And there's no saving me
Yeah
And I can't get up
From this wet crimson bed that you made for me
That you made for me
'Cause love, like a knife in the back
Cut me down and I'm bleeding
Yeah I'm bleeding

And if you go, Angels will run to defend me
To defend me
'Cause I can't get up

I'm as cold as a stone, I can feel the life fade from me
Yeah
I'm down on the ground, I've got seconds to live
And what's there that waits for me?
Oh, that waits for me
'Cause love, like a sentence of death's left me stunned
And I'm reeling, yeah I'm reeling

And if you go furious angels will bring you back to me

    This song is extremely well written. It feels as though (whether or not this is true, but I'm betting 99% on "yes") R.D. thought every single word out. The parallelism and the repeated graphics simlies and metaphors create such vivid imagery that whether or not you can relate to the song, you feel like you're there. And the music fits the words perfectly

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

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.

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.
