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.
We are ordinary people
We all live different lives
In the end we're pretty much the same
We're just living in different lives
We must live in different lives
We must live in different lives
Say scream
You scream
I scream
We scream
But no one listens
This abuse to feel superior
Isn't working for
The only scream
You scream
I scream
We scream
Abuse to feel superior
Isn't working for you
We are ordinary people
We work enough for rest
Were we kill most of the rouges
We end up in arrest
We end up in arrest
We all end up in arrest
Say scream
You scream
I scream
We scream
But no one listens
This abuse to feel superior
Isn't working for
The only scream
You scream
I scream
We scream
Abuse to feel superior
Isn't working for you
We must live in different lives
We must live in different lives
Say scream
You scream
I scream
We scream
But no one listens
This abuse to feel superior
Isn't working for
The only scream
You scream
I scream
We scream
Abuse to feel superior
Isn't working for you
We all live different lives
In the end we're pretty much the same
We're just living in different lives
We must live in different lives
We must live in different lives
Say scream
You scream
I scream
We scream
But no one listens
This abuse to feel superior
Isn't working for
The only scream
You scream
I scream
We scream
Abuse to feel superior
Isn't working for you
We are ordinary people
We work enough for rest
Were we kill most of the rouges
We end up in arrest
We end up in arrest
We all end up in arrest
Say scream
You scream
I scream
We scream
But no one listens
This abuse to feel superior
Isn't working for
The only scream
You scream
I scream
We scream
Abuse to feel superior
Isn't working for you
We must live in different lives
We must live in different lives
Say scream
You scream
I scream
We scream
But no one listens
This abuse to feel superior
Isn't working for
The only scream
You scream
I scream
We scream
Abuse to feel superior
Isn't working for you

Techno Ted

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I think the opposite..Come Clarity is a really Good album, i think it's one of the best albums they ever made..
