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.
So here we fall, and here we break
and all that we had, is now just a mistake.
I guess it got boring and old,
So what have you done, you left me alone
You got your things, you got them all,
You know thers nothing you wont have,
and Im afraid I dont got the cash,
to keep you happy, and Im upset,
cause you show me the ill not free, that you need big fat limosenes,
to keep you high, to keep you safe, keep you in love.
What if i change for you, then will you see me, still with you.
I 'd never do it; Im no fool.
So here we fall, and here we break
And all that we had, is now just a mistake.
You look so young, feel so misled
And your stuffy friends have gone to your head
You got your things, you got them all,
You know thers nothing you wont have,
and Im afraid I dont got the cash,
to keep you happy, and Im upset,
cause you show me the ill not free, that you need big fat limosenes,
to keep you high, to keep you safe, keep you in love.
What if i change for you, then will you see me, still with you.
I 'd never do it; Im no fool.
Honey Im not you.
I walk away, thinking back to the days, that I held you close
with your puffy white coat, and you told me joe, I could never let go
"I need you more, then life it's self", and the rain poured down
and I kept you dry, and I took the tears fallen from your eyes, and the snow came down
and I kept you warm, and I kept you safe from your daddys dorm, when he said to you
that you cant see me, "all those pools boys got nothing good to be", now they got to you,
and what do you say, you want some rich guy instead of me.
What if i change for you, then will you see me, still with you.
I 'd never do it; Im no fool.
and all that we had, is now just a mistake.
I guess it got boring and old,
So what have you done, you left me alone
You got your things, you got them all,
You know thers nothing you wont have,
and Im afraid I dont got the cash,
to keep you happy, and Im upset,
cause you show me the ill not free, that you need big fat limosenes,
to keep you high, to keep you safe, keep you in love.
What if i change for you, then will you see me, still with you.
I 'd never do it; Im no fool.
So here we fall, and here we break
And all that we had, is now just a mistake.

Audioslave
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.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
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.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
