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.
You give me a heart attack
You look like the summertime
You call me an artifact
But I'll save that for another time
I could be rich or poor
I don't need anymore
Keep your love inside the kitchen
You can feed me anything
Leave the feathers on the chicken
Peel the leather from your skin
I can be young or old
Sweet or sad, hot or cold
Man or animal, I don't care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obedient
Out of control
I will love you more than money
I will breathe you in the smoke
I will drink you in my honey
Sweet and golden down my throat
When you're right, when you're wrong
Head is near, eyes are gone
You can drown my appetite
I will sip your tears at night
You can tie me to a chair
Skin and bones, I don't care
I could be rich or poor
I don't need anymore
Man or animal, I don't care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obedient
Out of control yeah
Man or animal, I don't care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obedient
Out of control
Out of control
You give me a heart attack
You give me a heart attack
I will give you more than that
I will give you more than that
You give me a heart attack
You give me a heart attack
I will give you more than that
I will give you more than that
You look like the summertime
You call me an artifact
But I'll save that for another time
I could be rich or poor
I don't need anymore
Keep your love inside the kitchen
You can feed me anything
Leave the feathers on the chicken
Peel the leather from your skin
I can be young or old
Sweet or sad, hot or cold
Man or animal, I don't care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obedient
Out of control
I will love you more than money
I will breathe you in the smoke
I will drink you in my honey
Sweet and golden down my throat
When you're right, when you're wrong
Head is near, eyes are gone
You can drown my appetite
I will sip your tears at night
You can tie me to a chair
Skin and bones, I don't care
I could be rich or poor
I don't need anymore
Man or animal, I don't care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obedient
Out of control yeah
Man or animal, I don't care at all
Find the antidote underneath the dose
Man or animal, obedient
Out of control
Out of control
You give me a heart attack
You give me a heart attack
I will give you more than that
I will give you more than that
You give me a heart attack
You give me a heart attack
I will give you more than that
I will give you more than that

“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.
I love the machine gun drums in this song. And yes, the song is about making sweet love, or cutting loose and letting the animal out of its cage. Whatever his woman wants...
