High life
You can not hide from me
I will be there
You say that we're nothing
I say you're scared
Do you know what I know
Do you even care
Can you see whats coming baby
It's so crystal clear
Don't you know
This has me more than bleeding
Don't you know
I can not fight this feeling
Don't you go
Can you not hear me screaming no, no
You say that you fear me
Why do you lie
I say that you love me
Must be tonight
Do you know what I know
Do you even care
Can you see whats comin' baby
It's so crystal clear
Don't you know
This has me more than bleeding
Don't you know
I can not fight this feeling
Don't you go
Can you not hear me screaming no, no
And I want you with me right now
And I want you to feel me somehow
And I want to change what you do
And I want you to want me too
And I want you to want me
Don't you know
This has me more than bleeding
Don't you know
I can not fight this feeling
Don't you go
Can you not hear me screaming no, no
Shut you wanted me
Shut up you needed me
Shut up you wanted me
Shut up you do
I will be there
You say that we're nothing
I say you're scared
Do you know what I know
Do you even care
Can you see whats coming baby
It's so crystal clear
Don't you know
This has me more than bleeding
Don't you know
I can not fight this feeling
Don't you go
Can you not hear me screaming no, no
You say that you fear me
Why do you lie
I say that you love me
Must be tonight
Do you know what I know
Do you even care
Can you see whats comin' baby
It's so crystal clear
Don't you know
This has me more than bleeding
Don't you know
I can not fight this feeling
Don't you go
Can you not hear me screaming no, no
And I want you with me right now
And I want you to feel me somehow
And I want to change what you do
And I want you to want me too
And I want you to want me
Don't you know
This has me more than bleeding
Don't you know
I can not fight this feeling
Don't you go
Can you not hear me screaming no, no
Shut you wanted me
Shut up you needed me
Shut up you wanted me
Shut up you do

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

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.
why don't you sing this song for him?
Oh and I agree. Saw this on twentyfour seven and I must admit this is one hell of a good band. A lil whiny sometimes but they make up for it.
