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.
Settle down
It's time to make my move
A sunny smile
Another day with you
It's closer now than ever was
I'm letting go of everything so
She's got room for flying
Captures almost everything she tries for
Oh and she's got room for flying
Captures a soul, she's around you
She won't hurt you at all
A troubled mind
is more than I could lose
And more than once
it's tried to foil my mood
It's closer now than ever was
There's still no sign I'm yet to find but
She's got room for flying
Captures almost everything she tries for
Oh and she's got room for flying
Captures a soul, she's around you
She won't hurt you at all
And she's got room for flying
Captures almost everything she tries for
Oh and she's got room for flying
Captures a soul
And she's got room for flying
Captures almost everything she tries for
Oh and she's got room for flying
Captures a soul, she's around you
She won't hurt you at all
It's time to make my move
A sunny smile
Another day with you
It's closer now than ever was
I'm letting go of everything so
She's got room for flying
Captures almost everything she tries for
Oh and she's got room for flying
Captures a soul, she's around you
She won't hurt you at all
A troubled mind
is more than I could lose
And more than once
it's tried to foil my mood
It's closer now than ever was
There's still no sign I'm yet to find but
She's got room for flying
Captures almost everything she tries for
Oh and she's got room for flying
Captures a soul, she's around you
She won't hurt you at all
And she's got room for flying
Captures almost everything she tries for
Oh and she's got room for flying
Captures a soul
And she's got room for flying
Captures almost everything she tries for
Oh and she's got room for flying
Captures a soul, she's around you
She won't hurt you at all

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
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/
Punchline

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.
