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.
Sick and tired of this world
There's no more air
Tripping over myself
Going nowhere
Waiting
Suffocating
No direction
I took a dive
On all the way down
I saw you
And you save me from myself
And won't forget the way you love me
And on the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held on to you
Been wondering why
It's only me
Have you always been inside?
Waiting to be
It's all right
Sunlight on my face
Wake up, yeah
I'm alive
'Cause on the way down
I saw you
And you saved me from myself
And won't forget the way you love me
On the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held onto you
I was so afraid
I'm going under
But now
Weight of the world
Feels like nothing
No nothing
Down down down
You're all I wanted
Down down down
You're all I needed now
Down down down
You're all I wanted
You're all I needed
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
And won't forget the way you love me
Ah
All I wanted
All I needed now
On the way down
I saw you
Save me from myself
And won't forget the way you love me
And on the way down
I almost fell right through
But held onto you
Down down down
But I held onto you
Down down down
But I held onto you
Held onto youâ?¦
There's no more air
Tripping over myself
Going nowhere
Waiting
Suffocating
No direction
I took a dive
On all the way down
I saw you
And you save me from myself
And won't forget the way you love me
And on the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held on to you
Been wondering why
It's only me
Have you always been inside?
Waiting to be
It's all right
Sunlight on my face
Wake up, yeah
I'm alive
'Cause on the way down
I saw you
And you saved me from myself
And won't forget the way you love me
On the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held onto you
I was so afraid
I'm going under
But now
Weight of the world
Feels like nothing
No nothing
Down down down
You're all I wanted
Down down down
You're all I needed now
Down down down
You're all I wanted
You're all I needed
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
And won't forget the way you love me
Ah
All I wanted
All I needed now
On the way down
I saw you
Save me from myself
And won't forget the way you love me
And on the way down
I almost fell right through
But held onto you
Down down down
But I held onto you
Down down down
But I held onto you
Held onto youâ?¦

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.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday

@[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.
no worries smartie you didn't sound mean:D hapy new year! lets all hope 2005 is better than 2004!
