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.

One person calls someone
To pour the water,
Because it takes two to pour the water,

To plough takes two as well,
But only one to hold up the sky.

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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Björk
I believe Björk describes a drug session with some friends.
Another Vesion of this fantatic song is called "Organic Prankster"
Heeeeeeee how! He how! He how!
She gets high on some LSD, Ayuhasca or something else.
"Heeee how!" could be an emotional expression of the incredible feeling of diving into another realm.
The delay in "Heeee how!" expresses the delay that one may experience during his trip.
You can hear the power and enthusiasm in her voice and how long she stretches the "Heeeeee"
(getting high is a process that also doesn't come instantly and rises like her voice).
Einar One person calls someone To pour the water, Because it takes two to pour the water,
Björk To plough takes two as well, But only one to hold up the sky.
Einar To plough takes two as well, But only one to hold up the sky.
Now Einar describes the process of mixing the ingredients of the drug.
It takes to people to plough and pour "the water" - that means to prepare everything -
but it takes only one to "hold up the sky",
that means to experience this adventurous and enligthening trip!
Einar One plays the harp, beats a rock with a stick,
Björk One plays the harp, beats a rock with a stick, Becomes a priest at least, a delicious demon. Hee how!, hee how!, hee how!
Einar Least, a delicious demon.
In the past lines they describe how they experience peoples actions
during their drip. Someone in the group tryed to make music by beating
a rock with a stick and pantomiming playing a harp that he only heared in his fantasy.
Maybe the session was outside in the icelandic landscape.
Björk Delicious demon, delicious demon, Delicious demon, delicious demon,
Björk Two men need one money But one money needs no man, One is on ones knees, loses ones head, Except maybe a delicious demon, hee how!
Einar Two men need one money But one money needs no man,
Einar Two men need no money But one money needs no man One is on ones knees Looses one head Except maybe a Delicious demon
"Two men need one money, But one money needs no man." All this doesn't make much sense to me,
but I can imagine them being completely high and having a philosophical discussion about
capitalism and money. Like always when people are on drugs and have discussions like that,
the conclusions that are drawn and arguments that exchanged seem not to be very meaningful.
Björk Then one is no longer Then one is no longer Then one is no longer No longer!
Björk & einar Delicious demon Delicious demon Delicious, oh here he comes again waouh!
Maybe Björk felt how the effect of the drug decreased and took some more: "Here he comes again WAAAOOUUHH!". "He" is the "Delicious Demon", the drug itself or the demon, that is released by it in her mind.
Not by coincidence the band is called "The Sugarcubes", because LSD is somethimes trickled into sugar cubes.
Delicious demon Delicious demon! So delicious!
To plow takes two? Two men? One's on his knees... And he loses his head but gains a delicious demon?
Totally about Brokeback Mountain-style forbidden gay sex.
