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.
Now first of all I want to let you to know that
I've been known for some minor
Mood swings now and then
It all started back when people
Were doing me wrong
And because of my position I would
Hold my tongue for then
Bad relationships and people I thought were friends
And people judging me
Before they get to know a thing
When you decide to step to me,
It shows me so clearly
You just want to see, see the other side of me
And you don't know what I'm going through
And you might think it's all about you
But it's everything I've been holding back
It's just bad timing to come at me like that
I try to keep my cool, thus, that's what I try to do
But it's so hard dealing with people just like you
I try to walk away from situations that run
Into complications that make me loose control
If I give in to you then it's what you want me to do
And if I loose my cool then I'm only pleasing you
You know just how to push me,
My temperature is rising
Blood pressure is building, I'm about to loose control
I'm sorry, did I cross the line?
I tried to warn you away
Way ahead of time
I'm so frustrated I feel like I could cry
This could be the time
But I'm not going out like that
I've been known for some minor
Mood swings now and then
It all started back when people
Were doing me wrong
And because of my position I would
Hold my tongue for then
Bad relationships and people I thought were friends
And people judging me
Before they get to know a thing
When you decide to step to me,
It shows me so clearly
You just want to see, see the other side of me
And you don't know what I'm going through
And you might think it's all about you
But it's everything I've been holding back
It's just bad timing to come at me like that
I try to keep my cool, thus, that's what I try to do
But it's so hard dealing with people just like you
I try to walk away from situations that run
Into complications that make me loose control
If I give in to you then it's what you want me to do
And if I loose my cool then I'm only pleasing you
You know just how to push me,
My temperature is rising
Blood pressure is building, I'm about to loose control
I'm sorry, did I cross the line?
I tried to warn you away
Way ahead of time
I'm so frustrated I feel like I could cry
This could be the time
But I'm not going out like that

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.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
screw u psycho she is still great,legend if u will,
