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.
"We're rollin..."
One more day to complete my service
One more hour to decay my nerves
Wondering how I'm gonna find a way
It's over
One more day to complete my service
One more time here to find my servant
One more day to find a way
It's over
She seen through me and mine
And I know a later time
We could make it with you
We're the same
Old age (x4)
One more day to complain, my servant
One more doubt here to find a servant
Wondering how I'm gonna find a way
It's over
Wondering how I'm here date my cover
One more doubt here to save my nerves
Wondering how I'm gonna find a way
It's over
She seen through me and mine
And I know a later time
We and we're you to you
Leave the soul
Old age
Just you need and read you free
Hmmm
And knew
You read
You flew
Ooo
Hmmmmm
One more day to complete my service
One more hour here to find my nerves
Someday I'm gonna find a way
It's over
One more doubt here to claim my supper
I can have anything you wanted
Wondering how I'm gonna find a way
It's over
He seemed to read minds
And I know we're out of time
Breathe away here with you
Dream the same on the dew
Breathe the same on her
Breathe to moan on a man
Breathe and shame on you
He's late
Old age
"...or we could fade out"
One more day to complete my service
One more hour to decay my nerves
Wondering how I'm gonna find a way
It's over
One more day to complete my service
One more time here to find my servant
One more day to find a way
It's over
She seen through me and mine
And I know a later time
We could make it with you
We're the same
Old age (x4)
One more day to complain, my servant
One more doubt here to find a servant
Wondering how I'm gonna find a way
It's over
Wondering how I'm here date my cover
One more doubt here to save my nerves
Wondering how I'm gonna find a way
It's over
She seen through me and mine
And I know a later time
We and we're you to you
Leave the soul
Old age
Just you need and read you free
Hmmm
And knew
You read
You flew
Ooo
Hmmmmm
One more day to complete my service
One more hour here to find my nerves
Someday I'm gonna find a way
It's over
One more doubt here to claim my supper
I can have anything you wanted
Wondering how I'm gonna find a way
It's over
He seemed to read minds
And I know we're out of time
Breathe away here with you
Dream the same on the dew
Breathe the same on her
Breathe to moan on a man
Breathe and shame on you
He's late
Old age
"...or we could fade out"

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Just A Little Lovin'

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/
my secret doesn't apply to you...to me you are just a computer screen...i've never met you...haha
