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.
Hum along
If you find it in your heart to try it
And if you like you're betrayed.
With your presence felt
You show yourself with confidence.
Let it carry you away.
You're a little faster than you were before.
A little faster than you already were.
So when the lights go down, don't be shy.
Let's give this one last try.
This one is from me to you.
Sing alone
Enjoy this drive while you sit alone
As you find someone else to jade.
Just give this an hour
And let it explain itself to you.
Don't drive away.
And I won't go on saying this forever.
Don't do this, it's ridiculous.
And I won't let this go any further.
Let this line, win you over.
Rock n Roll girl come outside tonight.
Put your arms up in the moonlight.
We've been here before.
If you find it in your heart to try it
And if you like you're betrayed.
With your presence felt
You show yourself with confidence.
Let it carry you away.
You're a little faster than you were before.
A little faster than you already were.
So when the lights go down, don't be shy.
Let's give this one last try.
This one is from me to you.
Sing alone
Enjoy this drive while you sit alone
As you find someone else to jade.
Just give this an hour
And let it explain itself to you.
Don't drive away.
And I won't go on saying this forever.
Don't do this, it's ridiculous.
And I won't let this go any further.
Let this line, win you over.
Rock n Roll girl come outside tonight.
Put your arms up in the moonlight.
We've been here before.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
"I think this song is a lot different from the rest of the record. This song was originally meant to be the first song on the CD. The lyrics are about popping in the record and pretty much asking the listener to give it a chance. We tried to make it sound like it was written about a girl tho. We also threw in some lyrics from an old Rookie song in the bridge." -- From an interview
This is my favorite. Ironic because I obsessed over the first record for 2+ years and this one song was supposed to be on it. Hah.. my old favorite was "Consider this Summer" and they borrowed some lyrics from that for this one. Love it.

Enjoy this Drive - This song was the only full group effort song for Lyrics.. we were all in Fl... during Demo sessions and we all sat down and wrote the lyrics... The song is about kinda like a anthem song... just to everybody.. listen to the lyrics and sing it to yourself... and you will know what im talking about.. kinda like our song to everybody for there own problems with relationships.
There are some errors here. This is the real version.
