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.
Just walk away.
Gather your thoughts for the second wave
of this argument of this epic changing day.
It’s crazy to think that an hour ago all things were great.
We stand here, both proud, both wrong and right,
throwing cheap shots in this stubborn fight.
Our lives are so intertwined in one,
we’re just so stuck in this moment it’s clear that we’re coming undone.
And you see that it’s hard for me to breath, when I get all worked up with these feelings.
I don’t know exactly how it is, that we can be so mad we considered not to exist.
We both know that there’s so much love clenched between our fists.
Goodbye waves in the driveway just resonate.
And yes I’m throwing it right back at her while we’re drowning in rivers from our faces,
We just want know if this, is this over?
Trembling silence fills the air as we stand here,
so impaired, but so aware.
Sit in this house, alone with fresh photographs, and I just can’t relax.
My cigarette smoke, I’m starting to choke on this,
half of my souls on the road in a car with the girl in a dress.
See it’s making it hard for me to breath, when I get all worked up with these feelings.
And I don’t know exactly how it is, that just to say “I’m right”, “you’re wrong”,
we both lose to win.
The Goodbye waves in the driveway just resonate.
And yes I’m throwing it right back at her while we’re drowning in rivers from our faces,
We just want know if this, is this over?
Trembling silence fills the air as we stand here, Oooh!
So hey now, maybe we’re just being stupid.
Maybe we’re just being dumb.
No, hey, maybe it’s time that we stopped,
and we realize that like that flag in the wind we are one.
And how (No Clue) makes so cute and lovely. The battle can be tore to shreds.
With time and patience, and love and affection we can beat this with needles and thread.
Because I love you! And you love me! And nothing will make this leave.
I said, I love you, and you love me. And nothing will make, make, make, make this leave.
So remember me, Yeah… remember me. Yeah. Remember me.
Don’t Walk Away.

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.

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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.
Fast Car

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
I love this song. It reminds me of when my boyfriend and i fight. This song is so full of emotion its amazing. At the end when he says i love you is probably the most believable line i've heard in a song in a while.
