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.
Yeah
I gotta get through this shit
(Strait up)
Momma told me that there'd be days like this
(Strait up)
You know it's easy to forget what my purpose is
(Strait up)
Just when I feel like everything's cool my drama begins to surface
(Strait up)
And all that drama is hard to not let it blind you
You gotta put that fake shit behind you
Don't let your enemies remind you about that time you fucked up
My boy woulda told you to shut the fuck up
(Strait up)
I see fools laughin and I wanna cry
I see fools livin it up and I wanna die
Shit, I feel like I got one foot in the grave already
I feel like Jesus is out to get me
Test me and watch me fail
But I know it's not too late for me
He told me there more out there than just hate for me
I see you on a painted row
And I miss you
I can't see you but I feel you
I feel your soul, you know this
No matter what I know you still got my back
I know where you at
I gave everything
I lost everything
I want everything
I lose everything
I hate everything
I know where you at
I can't find
The more I look the more I can't find you
I can't find
The more I look the more I can't see you
I can't find
The more I look the more I can't find you
Why, why?
Back up
strait up
Disappear
What
Shut up
wake up
I'm over here
What
I woke up and I cursed the day
(Strait up)
I woke up and I prayed for this pain in my chest to go away
Jesus he just laughed at me
Said my life was a tragedy and I was lost for all eternity
Said nigga why you forsakin' me?
Baby you breakin' my heart
(Strait up)
Oh man, if I could just go back and start over again
Just have one good friend
Shit, take that shit to the top
(Strait up)
And never stop
(Strait up)
Bring that shit back again
Damn, just one good friend
I'm over here, come back now, show me how
I don't care anymore
I can't, I can't take it
Close to the edge and I'm breakin down
Yeah, you see me breakin down
I gave everything
I lost everything
I want everything
I lose everything
I hate everything
I know where you at
I can't find
The more I look the more I can't find you
I can't find
The more I look the more I can't see you
I can't find
The more I look the more I can't find you
Why, why?
Everyday another liar, here comes another thief
Prepare yourself for much more sorrow, depend on much more grief
Everyday another liar, here comes another thief
Prepare yourself for much more sorrow, depend on much more grief
I can't find
The more I look the more I can't find you
I can't find
The more I look the more I can't see you
I can't find
The more I look the more I can't find you
Why, why?

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
Song is about the death of Lynn Strait
