Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.
Come around and around just like we breakdown
With a fist and a fall we meet with the floor
On the ropes in the hope of making once more
All in the name of what we're not sure
Come around and around just like we breakdown
With a fist and a fall we meet with the floor
On the ropes in the hope of making once more
All in the name of what we're not sure
Lay it down in our beds it's caught in our head
There's a room full of notes, they've built to a dread
Is there room to ignore what we are here for?
Turn on the lights and open the door
Ring on your finger, a block on your heart
Hold on my friend, an end is the start
Ring on your finger, a block on your heart
Hold on my friend, an end is the start
Come around and around just like we breakdown
With a fist and a fall we meet with the floor
On the ropes in the hope of making once more
All in the name of what we're not sure
Ring on your finger, a block on your heart
Hold on my friend, an end is the start
Ring on your finger, a block on your heart
Hold on my friend, an end is the start
With a fist and a fall we meet with the floor
On the ropes in the hope of making once more
All in the name of what we're not sure
Come around and around just like we breakdown
With a fist and a fall we meet with the floor
On the ropes in the hope of making once more
All in the name of what we're not sure
Lay it down in our beds it's caught in our head
There's a room full of notes, they've built to a dread
Is there room to ignore what we are here for?
Turn on the lights and open the door
Ring on your finger, a block on your heart
Hold on my friend, an end is the start
Ring on your finger, a block on your heart
Hold on my friend, an end is the start
Come around and around just like we breakdown
With a fist and a fall we meet with the floor
On the ropes in the hope of making once more
All in the name of what we're not sure
Ring on your finger, a block on your heart
Hold on my friend, an end is the start
Ring on your finger, a block on your heart
Hold on my friend, an end is the start

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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
catchy tune. great beat, not to mention a great band. so clever, eh?
this CD is A++. not a song on it that i don't love.
