High life
I will break into your thoughts
With what's written on my heart
I will break
Break
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
If you want more of this
We can push out, sell out, die out
So you'll (shut up, shut up, shut up)
And stay sleeping
With my screaming in your itching ears
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
Hear it, I'm screaming it
You're heeding to it now
Hear it, I'm screaming it
You tremble at this sound
You sink into my clothes
This invasion
Makes me feel
Worthless, hopeless, sick
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so, I'm so sick
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so (I'm so)
I'm so sick (I'm so sick)
I'm so (I'm so)
I'm so sick (I'm so sick)
With what's written on my heart
I will break
Break
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
If you want more of this
We can push out, sell out, die out
So you'll (shut up, shut up, shut up)
And stay sleeping
With my screaming in your itching ears
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
Hear it, I'm screaming it
You're heeding to it now
Hear it, I'm screaming it
You tremble at this sound
You sink into my clothes
This invasion
Makes me feel
Worthless, hopeless, sick
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so, I'm so sick
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so (I'm so)
I'm so sick (I'm so sick)
I'm so (I'm so)
I'm so sick (I'm so sick)

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
to me, this is definitely about sexual abuse or rape. i have analyzed the lyrics very closely.
"I'm so sick, Infected with where I live Let me live without this Empty bliss, Selfishness I'm so sick I'm so sick"
she is saying that she probably feels like something is her fault, like has been manipulated, and she is pleading for this to stop
"If you want more of this We can push out, sell out, die out So you'll shut up And stay sleeping With my screaming in your itching ears"
this to me has something to do with her going crazy or going through trauma from what has happened.
"You sink into my clothes And this invasion Makes me feel Worthless, hopeless, sick"
the line "you sink into my clothes" explains it all. i don't think i need to elaborate. and how she used the word "invasion" is very powerful. then she explains how she feels from that. hopefully my point somewhat makes sense here!
