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.
I thought I knew you
I guess I was wrong
so many things left unsaid
and I guess they will never be said
And now I'm gonna make you suffer
you will pay for every piece of my broken heart
you perfected my hatred, and made me see
what you really are
How naive do you really think I am
It's as if you really don't give a damn
what you do to me as long as I don't know
the truth behind your heart of coal
And now you see what lying does
it turns people against you in an instant
now you will pay the price for all these incidents
And now I'm gonna make you suffer
you will pay for every piece of my broken heart
you perfected my hatred, and made me see
what you really are
I guess I was wrong
so many things left unsaid
and I guess they will never be said
And now I'm gonna make you suffer
you will pay for every piece of my broken heart
you perfected my hatred, and made me see
what you really are
How naive do you really think I am
It's as if you really don't give a damn
what you do to me as long as I don't know
the truth behind your heart of coal
And now you see what lying does
it turns people against you in an instant
now you will pay the price for all these incidents
And now I'm gonna make you suffer
you will pay for every piece of my broken heart
you perfected my hatred, and made me see
what you really are

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.

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
ok...this song is about....trusting someone....and all of a sudden the person you trust starts lying to you and you hear it from other people...so all of your love turns into anger and hatred. You feel that you cannot ever trust the person again. Now you want to make them pay for what they did to you and you want to make them "pay for every piece of your broken heart"
