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.
I should have known that this would happen from the start
This kind of function's going to have to fall apart
I guess before I would have sworn that we were friends
And in this problem must award some logic trend
Well, I still don't understand what this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
This was going so well, but I don't know what I did
All I really can tell is
It's a hit
It's a hit
It's a hit
Well, there's only so much drama I can stand
This is just about as far as I will bend
So get your hands off my lapel because I think it's time to go
You ought to know that or you ought to know
And I still don't understand what this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
This was going so well, but I don't know what I did
All I really can tell is
It's a hit
It's a hit
It's a hit
As I was falling down the stairs and out the door
Yes, I heard you yell my name, but I'm not sure
You know, before I could have sworn that we were friends
Somehow that's how these parties always seem to end
Well, I still don't understand what this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
This was going so well, but I don't know what I did
All I really can tell is that
I always get hit
Well, I still don't understand what this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
I guess I might take it back, but I'm not sure what I did
All I know for a fact is
It's a hit
It's a hit
It's a hit
This kind of function's going to have to fall apart
I guess before I would have sworn that we were friends
And in this problem must award some logic trend
Well, I still don't understand what this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
This was going so well, but I don't know what I did
All I really can tell is
It's a hit
It's a hit
It's a hit
Well, there's only so much drama I can stand
This is just about as far as I will bend
So get your hands off my lapel because I think it's time to go
You ought to know that or you ought to know
And I still don't understand what this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
This was going so well, but I don't know what I did
All I really can tell is
It's a hit
It's a hit
It's a hit
As I was falling down the stairs and out the door
Yes, I heard you yell my name, but I'm not sure
You know, before I could have sworn that we were friends
Somehow that's how these parties always seem to end
Well, I still don't understand what this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
This was going so well, but I don't know what I did
All I really can tell is that
I always get hit
Well, I still don't understand what this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
I guess I might take it back, but I'm not sure what I did
All I know for a fact is
It's a hit
It's a hit
It's a hit

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
If you guys love this one give What's The Word another try. I am going through sometthing that seems to me a mix of both songs
