its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
All my friends in magazines
Got addicted to the word "leave"
And they all wrote love songs that they believed
Little lies and massive dreams
They all request that you slow down
They all request that you slow down
You've got to turn it around
And make a save
There's a whore inside their bed
The duvets wish that they were still wet
And all the songs they wrote instead
Your ex-lover is not dead
They all request that you slow down
They all request that you slow down
You've got to turn it around
And make a save
All my friends in magazines
Got addicted to the word "leave"
And all the old songs that you believe
Once they stop you can't repeat
You once, you stop you can't repeat
Got addicted to the word "leave"
And they all wrote love songs that they believed
Little lies and massive dreams
They all request that you slow down
They all request that you slow down
You've got to turn it around
And make a save
There's a whore inside their bed
The duvets wish that they were still wet
And all the songs they wrote instead
Your ex-lover is not dead
They all request that you slow down
They all request that you slow down
You've got to turn it around
And make a save
All my friends in magazines
Got addicted to the word "leave"
And all the old songs that you believe
Once they stop you can't repeat
You once, you stop you can't repeat

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.

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 is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Agree w/ the song allusions to Stars, Metric, and Apostle of Hustle. This song is not about "taking shots" about the bands themselves but is about the downside of being "famous".... it's great how successful BSS's friends are but at the same time, they don't see each other very much anymore because they're constantly touring and promoting. I bet Kevin Drew wrote the lyrics..... he's asking them to slow down. It must be a little overwhelming with expecations and pressure to perform etc. BSS and friends are all endure grueling tours bc that's how they make most of their money. It must be exhausting to be on the road all the time and to be away from your loved ones..... I wonder how Feist and Drew cope now that they're lovers?
