Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Walk tall beneath these trees boy
You monolith not scarred by fallout
Us wolves were right behind you and lucifer will never find you
Oh no!
the moon, let it guide you, when selene comes, we'll alll know how to fight
Dear fenrir, my saviour, come and eat the ones, we know who taste the best
I know just where you've been boy, I've watched you by the stream
And don't be afraid of the dark 'cause the darkness is simply a womb for the lonely
Swallow your pride and walk with us through the trees and hills
Oh yes! your english eyes they are turning red
I I I I oh I I I I
the moon, let it guide you and I shall find you a home in our heartland, a heart in our homeland
Until the moon is down, until the moon is down
You monolith not scarred by fallout
Us wolves were right behind you and lucifer will never find you
Oh no!
the moon, let it guide you, when selene comes, we'll alll know how to fight
Dear fenrir, my saviour, come and eat the ones, we know who taste the best
I know just where you've been boy, I've watched you by the stream
And don't be afraid of the dark 'cause the darkness is simply a womb for the lonely
Swallow your pride and walk with us through the trees and hills
Oh yes! your english eyes they are turning red
I I I I oh I I I I
the moon, let it guide you and I shall find you a home in our heartland, a heart in our homeland
Until the moon is down, until the moon is down

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.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.
"dear fenrir, my saviour, come and eat the ones, we know who taste the best"
It's interesting that he addresses Fenrir in this song, since that's basically one of the names that's been associated with wolves or werewolves forever, as far as I can tell.
But anyways, the intro to this song is fucking amazing. It's beautiful... god I love Patrick Wolf.
If you watch this interview Wolf explains the meaning of "you monolith not scarred by fallout" It's referred to Cleopatra's Needle in London (one of his favourite place in London), and "not scarred by fallout" stands for the monument felt into the sea and was rescued, survived the IIWW. I think it's a symbol of endurance and as @missme says "overcoming difficulties in life and powering through".
