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.
Smile…here we go
A picture and a flash
These years went by so fast
And it seems
As we pose
Though we started out as friends
Our love will never end
We had so much fun
Always stayin’ up too late
Thinkin’ life would never change
Now you’re gone-and I’m alone
With just a picture in a frame
And a memory of your name
I can feel your kiss
Soft upon my lips
And it’s you I miss…
I
Wish you could be
Standing next to me
Not just in my dreams, but in reality
Looking through the glass
I can see our past
And I want you back
In my photograph
Now as time goes by
And the pictures start to fade
All the memories we made
Still live on in my heart
And even though we’re miles away,
We will never be apart
And I…
Feel your kiss,
Soft upon my lips
And it’s you I miss
I
Wish you could be
Standing next to me
Not just in my dreams, but in reality
Looking through the glass
I can see our past
And I want you back
In my photograph
So here I cry…
Thinkin’ I have said my last goodbyes
But as I wait…
I can almost hear you say…
Smile…here we go
Another picture taken here
I always will be near
I wish you could be
Standin’ next to me
Not just in my dreams, but in reality
I can hear your laugh
And I realize that
You’re my missing half
In the photograph
Wish you could be…next to me
Not in my dreams-reality
And through the glass…I hear your laugh
And I want you back in my photograph
A picture and a flash
These years went by so fast
And it seems
As we pose
Though we started out as friends
Our love will never end
We had so much fun
Always stayin’ up too late
Thinkin’ life would never change
Now you’re gone-and I’m alone
With just a picture in a frame
And a memory of your name
I can feel your kiss
Soft upon my lips
And it’s you I miss…
I
Wish you could be
Standing next to me
Not just in my dreams, but in reality
Looking through the glass
I can see our past
And I want you back
In my photograph
Now as time goes by
And the pictures start to fade
All the memories we made
Still live on in my heart
And even though we’re miles away,
We will never be apart
And I…
Feel your kiss,
Soft upon my lips
And it’s you I miss
I
Wish you could be
Standing next to me
Not just in my dreams, but in reality
Looking through the glass
I can see our past
And I want you back
In my photograph
So here I cry…
Thinkin’ I have said my last goodbyes
But as I wait…
I can almost hear you say…
Smile…here we go
Another picture taken here
I always will be near
I wish you could be
Standin’ next to me
Not just in my dreams, but in reality
I can hear your laugh
And I realize that
You’re my missing half
In the photograph
Wish you could be…next to me
Not in my dreams-reality
And through the glass…I hear your laugh
And I want you back in my photograph

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.

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.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
