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.
It's all gonna break
When I was a kid, you fucked me in the ass
But I took my pen to paper and I passed
You know I love the shit, 'cause the shit it tastes so good
I got pastures waiting in the woods
'Cause it's all gonna break
It's all gonna break
Treat me like a sign, sounds like so, oh well
I know times like these are the hell
And when you do the tricks, the tricks look so good
I got buried rumors waiting in the woods
And they try to climb awake
And call me over
Skies they rape and skies are sober
Minds they fake and minds rolled over
It's good, it's good, it's good
I know that you're dying
I know that it's true
I know there's seven thousand things you rather be and rather do
And I know that you fuck what you love
And you love what you fuck
I'll keep them out girl, I'll keep it true
I'll do anything inside the skin of you
'Cause I know that the sound of your heart
Is a god I can trust
Like a man
Not a boy
I don't love, I just fight with the violence in ourselves
It's all gonna break
And you all want the lovely music to save your lives
And you all want the lovely music to save your lives
Keep it coming
There is no lie to save your life
Keep it coming
This is the lie to save your life
Why are you always fucking ghosts?
Why are you always fucking ghosts?
Why?
It's been such a long
Life that we trust
Your heart is a whore
And love is just lust
You want what you can't
And you can't cause of fear
We've got to get
Out of here
Why are you always?
Its been and it settles down and fights to love
Its all gonna break
When I was a kid, you fucked me in the ass
But I took my pen to paper and I passed
You know I love the shit, 'cause the shit it tastes so good
I got pastures waiting in the woods
'Cause it's all gonna break
It's all gonna break
Treat me like a sign, sounds like so, oh well
I know times like these are the hell
And when you do the tricks, the tricks look so good
I got buried rumors waiting in the woods
And they try to climb awake
And call me over
Skies they rape and skies are sober
Minds they fake and minds rolled over
It's good, it's good, it's good
I know that you're dying
I know that it's true
I know there's seven thousand things you rather be and rather do
And I know that you fuck what you love
And you love what you fuck
I'll keep them out girl, I'll keep it true
I'll do anything inside the skin of you
'Cause I know that the sound of your heart
Is a god I can trust
Like a man
Not a boy
I don't love, I just fight with the violence in ourselves
It's all gonna break
And you all want the lovely music to save your lives
And you all want the lovely music to save your lives
Keep it coming
There is no lie to save your life
Keep it coming
This is the lie to save your life
Why are you always fucking ghosts?
Why are you always fucking ghosts?
Why?
It's been such a long
Life that we trust
Your heart is a whore
And love is just lust
You want what you can't
And you can't cause of fear
We've got to get
Out of here
Why are you always?
Its been and it settles down and fights to love
Its all gonna break

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
