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.

obvious humor
desperate and respiratory plight
always on
dressed to impress
i’ll be the last one to find out why
time takes its toll on us
this changes everything
i’d be a liar if I denied you at all
oh, now that I know
this changes everything
i’ve been trading ideas with intriguing men, over and over again
i percieve an honest solution
to all your problems (all she wants to find out is why)
time takes its toll on us
this changes everything
i’d be a liar if i denied you at all
oh, now that I know
this changes everything
oh, now that I know
oh, now that I know
remove from home
I promise to write, I promise
remove from home
there’s no gift without a price
remove from home
I promise to write, I promise
as the amplifier screams out loud for the last time
wave your hands at the audience as you sink in this
last chance to hide you need desperately so
Motion gives up on you in the end
I’ll try my best to be home by then
You’ll see the grace we’ve had
You’ll never have
You never had
i’m going home but my own way
i’m going home by my own
i’m going home but my own way
i’m going home by my own
I would really love if you’d sit him down
I would really love if you’d pull this thread
I would really love if you’d sit him down
I would really love if you’d pull this thread

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
this cd should be sooooooo good.
if i had to take a stab at the meaning... id think itd be about having a friend/girl try hard to get really close to you, but in the end it just ruins it all. The writer still primises to keep in touch, although the person the song refers to screwed up something important.
I could have sworn it was "Always undressed to impress"
Nope, these lyrics were taken right from the band me thinks.
Oh yea, Circa Survive=amazing. Better than Saosin in my book.
One edge this band has over Saosin, I think, is that the lyrics are a lot easier to understand and the meanings aren't hard as fuck to figure out.
yea.. my guess is that it there was a problem that ruined everything one of the persons dreams were. now the person is trying to avoid the other but still kind of friendly towards that other.
a message to phroot, you have a point with the easy to understand lyrics.. but what was so great about Saosin was that the lyrics really had to make you think about the whole song and what i could really mean. that plus Anthony singing/screaming his voice with fast paced music.
it* could really mean.
it* could really mean.
on the ep, the song's now called the great golden baby :) beautiful.
i think the meanings are hard as fuck to figure out
