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.
Tu disseste: "Quero saborear o infinito"
Eu disse: "A frescura das macas matinais
revela-nos segredos insondaveis"
Tu disseste: "Sentir a aragem que balanca os dependurados"
Eu disse: "É o medo que nos vem acariciar"
Tu disseste: "Eu também ja tive medo. muito medo;
recusava-me a abrir a janela, a transpor o limiar da porta"
Eu disse: "Acabamos a gostar do medo,
do arrepio que nos suspende a fala"
Tu disseste: "Um dia fiquei sem nada.
Um mundo inteiro por descobrir"
Eu disse: "O que é que isso interesse?"
Tu disseste: "Nada..."
Tu disseste: "Agora procuro o designio da vida;
às vezes penso encontra-lo num bater de asas,
num murmurio trazido pelo vento, no piscar de um néon;
escrevo paginas e paginas a tentar formaliza-lo.
Depois queimo tudo e prossigo a minha busca.
Eu disse: "Eu nao faco nada.
Fico horas a olhar para uma mancha na parede"
Tu disseste: "E nunca sentiste a mancha a alastrar,
as suas formas num palpitar quase imperceptivel?"
Eu disse: "Nao. A mancha continua no mesmo sitio,
eu continuo a olhar para ela e nao se passa nada"
Tu disseste: "E no entanto a mancha alastra
e toma conta de ti, liberta-te do corpo. Tu é que nao ves"
Eu disse: "O que é que isso interessa?"
Tu disseste: "Nada..."

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.

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”
