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.

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.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
You have to be fucking kidding me.. This is complete and utter fucking garbage.. Rap music is the downfall of society.. Pathetic, completely PATHETIC
I am the first to comment on this song, since we'll I added Jibbs to songmeanings.net and added this song. Jibbs is an up and coming artist out of St Louis. His debut album drops in September and this is the first solo off the album. This song is amazing, has a beat that has been heard before someplace, but he still makes it his own with the lyrics and the way it flows throughout is amazing. The meaning of this song is simple, How low does your chain hang. How much ice do you have around your neck. Are you rolling with the big bling bling. Anyway shoutout to Jibbs. You are an amazing artist and you are going to blowup. All Artists remember their first hit and this is yours. Good luck with your career.
This song has one of the best hooks in rap history.
loveeeeeee it
Do It SHINE IN The Light?
Omg!! Finally!! I been searching this for so long!!! Best rap song ever I defff love it!! I like when the kids or chorus people or whatever sing!! oh so awsome!! I sware people who obsulutly can't stand rap have been listening to this!!
this song is overrated.
"I was murdering 21-year-olds, 25-year-olds when I was 11 and 12," Jibbs recalls with a laugh. "Thats how people knew me in the hood. Theyd be like, Youre so young, but you whupped him -- and hes supposed to be good."
hes oohh so thug.
