De gröna vagnarna krängde över bron
vid dörrarna längst fram stod vi
Vi sprang genom spärrarna, ner mot torget
med butiker och fontän mitt i
HSB-lådor, två mål på en grusplan
små ängar här och var
I skogen bakom macken
låg kanyler och blaskor
med bilder som höll oss kvar
i timmar

Min pappa var frälst och din kommunist
det räckte för att bli fienden
I ett 90-tal, där ingen trodde på något
möttes vi igen
Lika övergivna, lika löftesstinna
lika långt hemifrån båda två
Du bodde i min etta
en madrass framför TV:n
Har aldrig kämnt så hemma som då

De gröna vagnarna
krängde över bron
och vattnet över oss
strömmade

Här kommer ännu en sommar
och stan ska tömmas
och du väntar ditt första barn
Jag önskar att jag kunde visat mer glädje
när du berättade i vintras, den dan

För det är som det ska, det växer det dör
och det finns ingen väg tillbaks
Och om det skiter sig helt
kan man kliva av tåget
och slå sin värld i kras

De gröna vagnarna
krängde över bron
och vattnet under oss
strömmade

Jag vaknade nyss
ett hotellrum i Luleå
av att hjärtat luktade bränt
Ett nattåg därute
tänder och släcker
det är nånting som har hänt
När vi pratade sist blev inget sagt
men jag hoppas vi ses längre fram
Säg bara till, säg bara ett ord
om du skulle behöva min hand

Vad vi gör ska vi aldrig
bända ner våra liv
i en form av trygghet och sans
med butiker och fontän mitt i

Nej du och jag
vi kränger över bron
och vattnet under oss
det strömmar än, det strömmar än.

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Blue
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.
