High life
Please don't go crazy, if I tell you the truth
No you don't know what happened, and you never, will
If you don't listen to me while I talk to the wall
This blanket is freezing, its been out in the hall
Where you fight me for hours, 'til I'm sure what I want
But darling I want the same thing, that I wanted before
So sweetheart tell me what's up, I won't stop, no way
Please keep your hands down, and stop raising your voice
Its hardly what I'd be doing, if you gave me a choice
Its a simple suggestion, can you give me some time
So just say yes or no, why can't you shoulder the blame?
'Cause both my shoulders are heavy, from the weight of us both
You're a big boy now, so lets not talk about growth
You've not heard a single word I have said, oh my God
Please take it easy, It can't all be my fault
I haven't made half the mistakes, that you've listed so far
Baby let me explain something, its all down to drugs
At least I remember taking them, and not a lot else
It seems I've stepped over lines, you've drawn again and again
But if the ecstasy's in, the wit is definitely out
Dr.Jekyll is wrestling Hyde, for my pride
No you don't know what happened, and you never, will
If you don't listen to me while I talk to the wall
This blanket is freezing, its been out in the hall
Where you fight me for hours, 'til I'm sure what I want
But darling I want the same thing, that I wanted before
So sweetheart tell me what's up, I won't stop, no way
Please keep your hands down, and stop raising your voice
Its hardly what I'd be doing, if you gave me a choice
Its a simple suggestion, can you give me some time
So just say yes or no, why can't you shoulder the blame?
'Cause both my shoulders are heavy, from the weight of us both
You're a big boy now, so lets not talk about growth
You've not heard a single word I have said, oh my God
Please take it easy, It can't all be my fault
I haven't made half the mistakes, that you've listed so far
Baby let me explain something, its all down to drugs
At least I remember taking them, and not a lot else
It seems I've stepped over lines, you've drawn again and again
But if the ecstasy's in, the wit is definitely out
Dr.Jekyll is wrestling Hyde, for my pride

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.

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"

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”
"Dr. Jekyl is wrestling Hyde for my pride."
I think the whole song is supposed to be like he's arguing with himself...like an internal battle to stop doing drugs or whatever it is. But I still don't know why he would be using words like 'darling' and 'baby'.
