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.
If I can't remember the words
Could you be my tongue for these few seconds
And spit them out for me
See I've crossed the line
And I've done what I told myself I'd never
We've become everything that we once hated
Feeling special actually listening to my conscience
When it confronts me
I told myself I wouldn't waste my time holding my breath
For what may potentially be a lost cause
Leave me stranded branded stupid
And all to often a sucker for the teenage delusion
Called true love
But you changed me
You are the risk that I'm taking
I'll stand beside the rest of our lives
And put my trust in loves
But I can't do this all alone
I can't make you believe me when I say
You're all I ever need
You're the reason I believe
That everything in my life has
Brought me to this point for a reason
What were the last words that you said to me
Stuck hanging off your lips as I leave you
Talking yourself blue in the face again
This loss for words can't get me out of what its got me in
Choking on the right lines picking up the wrong signs
I understand that promises
("Never speak of this again")
Mean nothing if the words have no meaning
(I give in)
But haven't we already grown used to waiting?
(A promise is only words)
And I can wait as long as it takes
To make you see I mean it
I'm so bad at goodbyes
That's why I never want to leave you're side again
So until the next time that I see you I've got to
Got to keep on breathing
Got to keep on breathing
To make you see
(Kids leave her alone she needs this)
To make you see I mean it
(Just leave her alone she needs this)
Could you be my tongue for these few seconds
And spit them out for me
See I've crossed the line
And I've done what I told myself I'd never
We've become everything that we once hated
Feeling special actually listening to my conscience
When it confronts me
I told myself I wouldn't waste my time holding my breath
For what may potentially be a lost cause
Leave me stranded branded stupid
And all to often a sucker for the teenage delusion
Called true love
But you changed me
You are the risk that I'm taking
I'll stand beside the rest of our lives
And put my trust in loves
But I can't do this all alone
I can't make you believe me when I say
You're all I ever need
You're the reason I believe
That everything in my life has
Brought me to this point for a reason
What were the last words that you said to me
Stuck hanging off your lips as I leave you
Talking yourself blue in the face again
This loss for words can't get me out of what its got me in
Choking on the right lines picking up the wrong signs
I understand that promises
("Never speak of this again")
Mean nothing if the words have no meaning
(I give in)
But haven't we already grown used to waiting?
(A promise is only words)
And I can wait as long as it takes
To make you see I mean it
I'm so bad at goodbyes
That's why I never want to leave you're side again
So until the next time that I see you I've got to
Got to keep on breathing
Got to keep on breathing
To make you see
(Kids leave her alone she needs this)
To make you see I mean it
(Just leave her alone she needs this)

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.

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.
