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.
Did you go to montreal
Or hide behind the package store
You're hanging out with your old friends
With them they knew you'd see the end
You're in so much trouble
Can't hide in your covers
It's forgetting that would beat it all
Easier when they don't ever call
I don't think I want to think about it
How the fall is coming down
The light is leaving and it's hard to breathe
Buried in a pile of leaves
We don't want to make mistakes
We don't want to be the same
I hand the finger to my fate
He doesn't know and he cannot see that far
I don't think I want to think about it
How the fall is coming down
The light is leaving and it's hard to breathe
Buried in a pile of leaves
We don't want to ever change
We don't want to make mistakes
I hand the finger to my fate
He doesn't know me and he cannot see that far
Nights get so long and cold
Fewer places we can go
You're in so much trouble
Can't hide in your covers
I don't think I want to think about it
you're in so much trouble
Can't hide in your covers
Or hide behind the package store
You're hanging out with your old friends
With them they knew you'd see the end
You're in so much trouble
Can't hide in your covers
It's forgetting that would beat it all
Easier when they don't ever call
I don't think I want to think about it
How the fall is coming down
The light is leaving and it's hard to breathe
Buried in a pile of leaves
We don't want to make mistakes
We don't want to be the same
I hand the finger to my fate
He doesn't know and he cannot see that far
I don't think I want to think about it
How the fall is coming down
The light is leaving and it's hard to breathe
Buried in a pile of leaves
We don't want to ever change
We don't want to make mistakes
I hand the finger to my fate
He doesn't know me and he cannot see that far
Nights get so long and cold
Fewer places we can go
You're in so much trouble
Can't hide in your covers
I don't think I want to think about it
you're in so much trouble
Can't hide in your covers

@[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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I'm really seeing it differently. It sounds like there's a girl that had a boyfriend, love interest, or really needy friends.The singer comes along and they fool around. Now she's in so much trouble... not because her b/f knows, it's just that she's guilty.
Now the relationship is questionable since she keeps thinking about how she shouldn't be doing this right now - but she wants both.
The singer and the girl want to keep going but be quiet about it - and she also doesn't want the same relationship that she's in right now. The girl's love interest also isn't that smart, given the last line.
we don't want to make mistakes we don't want to be the same i hand the finger to my fate he doesn't know and he cannot see that far
The singer is predicting the end, of course:
I don't think i want to think about it How the fall is coming down
And I think this wraps up at the beginning of the song. So maybe the singer and the girl split it off for a bit and don't talk for a couple days. He doesn't know what she's going to choose: him or the other guy - or nothing at all.
