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.
Superstition taking all of us for a ride
Mind's overtaken by the signs of the right
The bombs are falling overhead with no sight
While you are talking all detached, so tell us
Where are you going?
To the bottom
Do you hear us?
We are rotting
We're going down
In a spiral to the ground
No one
No one's gonna save us now
Ceremonies have killed religions for they provide
The masked comforts to delusionals, they're all in fright
The true believer's head was bathed in sunlight
While you are walking all detached, so tell us
Where are you going?
To the bottom
Do you hear us?
We are rotting
We're going down
In a spiral to the ground
No one
No one's gonna save us now
Not even God
No one saved us
No one's gonna save us
Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?
Ah-ah
Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?
Where do you expect them to go when the bombs fall?
Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?
Superstition taking all of us for a ride
Mind's overtaken by the signs of the right
The bombs are falling overhead with no sight
While you are talking all detached
Detached, detached, detached, detached
Going down
In a spiral to the ground
No one
No one's gonna save us now (not even God)
No one saved us
No one saved us
No one saved us
No one's gonna save us now
Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?
Mind's overtaken by the signs of the right
The bombs are falling overhead with no sight
While you are talking all detached, so tell us
Where are you going?

We are rotting

In a spiral to the ground
No one
No one's gonna save us now
Ceremonies have killed religions for they provide
The masked comforts to delusionals, they're all in fright
The true believer's head was bathed in sunlight
While you are walking all detached, so tell us
Where are you going?
To the bottom
Do you hear us?

We're going down
In a spiral to the ground
No one
No one's gonna save us now
Not even God
No one saved us
No one's gonna save us
Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?
Ah-ah
Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?
Where do you expect them to go when the bombs fall?
Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?
Superstition taking all of us for a ride

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Not at all. Stop forcing your atheism. System Of A Down believes that you should do whatever you want, so they would never make such a corrupt song like that.
