its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
I ain't got no regrets
I and I ain't losin' track of which way I'm going
I ain't gonna double back, no
Don't want no misplay
Put on no display, an angel, no
But I know my way, oh yeah, oh
I used follow
Yeah, that's true
But my following days are over
Now I just gotta follow through and
I remember what my father said
He said, "Son, life is simple"
It's either cherry red
Or midnight blue, oh
Midnight blue, oh
You were the restless one
And you did not care
That I was the trouble boy
Lookin' for a double dare
I won't apologize for
The things I've done and said
But when I win your heart
I'm gonna paint it cherry red
I don't want to talk about it
What you do to me
I can't live without it
And you might think that it's
Much too soon for us to go this far
Into the midnight blue, oh
It's midnight blue, oh
Now, things could be different
That'd be a shame, 'cause
I'm the one who could feel the sun
Right in the pouring rain
I won't say where and I don't know when but
Soon there gonna come a day, baby
I'll be back again
Yeah, I'll be back for you, oh
You see, I'm saving up my love
Midnight blue, oh
Into the midnight blue, oh
Under the midnight blue, oh
Beneath this midnight blue, oh (this midnight blue)
Into the midnight blue, oh
Midnight blue, oh
Midnight blue, oh
Beneath this midnight blue, oh
Into the midnight blue
I and I ain't losin' track of which way I'm going
I ain't gonna double back, no
Don't want no misplay
Put on no display, an angel, no
But I know my way, oh yeah, oh
I used follow
Yeah, that's true
But my following days are over
Now I just gotta follow through and
I remember what my father said
He said, "Son, life is simple"
It's either cherry red
Or midnight blue, oh
Midnight blue, oh
You were the restless one
And you did not care
That I was the trouble boy
Lookin' for a double dare
I won't apologize for
The things I've done and said
But when I win your heart
I'm gonna paint it cherry red
I don't want to talk about it
What you do to me
I can't live without it
And you might think that it's
Much too soon for us to go this far
Into the midnight blue, oh
It's midnight blue, oh
Now, things could be different
That'd be a shame, 'cause
I'm the one who could feel the sun
Right in the pouring rain
I won't say where and I don't know when but
Soon there gonna come a day, baby
I'll be back again
Yeah, I'll be back for you, oh
You see, I'm saving up my love
Midnight blue, oh
Into the midnight blue, oh
Under the midnight blue, oh
Beneath this midnight blue, oh (this midnight blue)
Into the midnight blue, oh
Midnight blue, oh
Midnight blue, oh
Beneath this midnight blue, oh
Into the midnight blue

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.

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I don't know..............it sounds like he is waiting for a chance to step in. Are you here looking at this? I totally love you. He can have his midnight blue I want you!
