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.
Put your hand against your skin rub it gently to begin
you feel it can you feel it?
when does pleasure become pain?
when does sex become insane?
you say it as you feel it
when you cum, be a good girl
hold your breath, make it last long
it's a mess,
and its gone
the little dead girl
so please when you die could you scream
mercy mercy for you and me
its true what they say fucking for love might be the last legal drug
so please when you cry, let it flow
i might make you stay or let you go its true what they say fucking for love might be the last legal drug
push that one more time, thats all as the rain begins to fall
you feel it can you feel it?
people who ain't seen shit been telling you that its a sin you say it
as you feel it
hold your breath, make it last long
it's a mess,
and its gone
the little dead girl
so please when you die could you scream
mercy mercy for you and me
its true what they say fucking for love might be the last legal drug
so please when you cry, let it flow
i might make you stay or let you go
its true what they say fucking for love might be the last legal drug
le petite mort oh yes so please when you die could you scream mercy mercy
you feel it can you feel it?
when does pleasure become pain?
when does sex become insane?
you say it as you feel it
when you cum, be a good girl
hold your breath, make it last long
it's a mess,
and its gone
the little dead girl
so please when you die could you scream
mercy mercy for you and me
its true what they say fucking for love might be the last legal drug
so please when you cry, let it flow
i might make you stay or let you go its true what they say fucking for love might be the last legal drug
push that one more time, thats all as the rain begins to fall
you feel it can you feel it?
people who ain't seen shit been telling you that its a sin you say it
as you feel it
hold your breath, make it last long
it's a mess,
and its gone
the little dead girl
so please when you die could you scream
mercy mercy for you and me
its true what they say fucking for love might be the last legal drug
so please when you cry, let it flow
i might make you stay or let you go
its true what they say fucking for love might be the last legal drug
le petite mort oh yes so please when you die could you scream mercy mercy

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.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
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.
Love this song, and yeah, pretty self explanatory as to what its aboot.
And here I was hoping I was the only one who knew the meaning behind La Petit Morte. :(
