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.
You and I resemble god
made by him to come after him
everything in us resembles god
except for one thing
Everything in us resembles god
except for one thing.
Everything in us resembles god
except for one thing.
I am a liar you are a cheater
I am a theif and you are a traitor
I'm downright stupid
and you are paranoid
haha, there's more than one
Well let's just keep going, then;
When I screw
I don't care for the beauty.
I drape myself over hands that are crooked
When I'm hurting myself
I just try to hurt you
you respond with tears
but they are never true
and as we tremble
night gets thinner and thinner
tell me which one of us here
is golden metal
Golden metal of that heavenly road
that I've heard is laying
somewhere in this world
One day,
One thing
One thing
and as we tremble
night gets thinner and thinner,
tell me which one of us here
is golden metal
I'm paranoid
and you are downright stupid
I know you'd flick me off
but your finger is too crooked
When I'm hurting myself
I just try to hurt you
you respond with tears
but they are never true
You and I resemble god
made by him to come after him
everything in us resembles god
except one thing
You and I resemble god
made by him to come after him
everything in us resembles god
except one thing
one thing
one thing

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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,

“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.
anyone know who the guest vocalist is?
