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.
Oh god!
Once again, waiting for the darkness, beyond smile this cry ("life")
Keep trying for another one
The bright day, one day, sets light into my way
Dig up yourself from your grave
Back to the reason to kill, not exactly motherfucking raw metal
Do you look into the grime
(Fuck the ("you") beat!), it's your choice for the future, by the cross
Before you probably make you ("it") last
As long as the twilight bailed
The dead came as we embrace
More than the ones we love
We own it, we burn it down
Not afraid to cry is not our fault
Not afraid of falling down below
To the night where we'll soon reply
Like the living dead we'll never die
Spoiling inside me fight back, treat you like a madman
When your waiting for the light to come
(She was down!), stuck on a bright ("light") shining bright
It's time to close your eyes
Not afraid to cry is not our fault
Not afraid of falling down below
To the night where we'll soon reply
Like the living dead we'll never die
As long as the twilight bailed
The dead came as we embrace
More than the ones we love
We own it, we burn it down
Not afraid to cry is not our fault
Not afraid of falling down below
To the night where we'll soon reply
Like the living dead we'll never die
Once again, waiting for the darkness, beyond smile this cry ("life")
Keep trying for another one
The bright day, one day, sets light into my way
Dig up yourself from your grave
Back to the reason to kill, not exactly motherfucking raw metal
Do you look into the grime
(Fuck the ("you") beat!), it's your choice for the future, by the cross
Before you probably make you ("it") last
As long as the twilight bailed
The dead came as we embrace
More than the ones we love
We own it, we burn it down
Not afraid to cry is not our fault
Not afraid of falling down below
To the night where we'll soon reply
Like the living dead we'll never die
Spoiling inside me fight back, treat you like a madman
When your waiting for the light to come
(She was down!), stuck on a bright ("light") shining bright
It's time to close your eyes
Not afraid to cry is not our fault
Not afraid of falling down below
To the night where we'll soon reply
Like the living dead we'll never die
As long as the twilight bailed
The dead came as we embrace
More than the ones we love
We own it, we burn it down
Not afraid to cry is not our fault
Not afraid of falling down below
To the night where we'll soon reply
Like the living dead we'll never die

Techno Ted

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
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.

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.
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.
my fave children of bodom song! idky but i fucking love it! i turn this song up full blast!
