its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Awake in bed at 4am
Awake in bed 'cause lately sleep ain't been my friend
Which leaves me with no happy end
You said it all keeps playing end
And even though I might complain
You know I feel the same old way about you, babe
I'll love you till the very end
I love you, I can't see my life without you
We might be a long way from heaven
But I won't give in
No, not like this
I feel it is my Saturn return
There's a lot we can win
Just not like this
I see us pass the sleepless nights
I see us pass the silent fights and arguing
We'll make it through the distance phases
We'll make it through the stomach aches and crying, tears
Somehow we're back to fear again
Somehow we're back to questioning or leaving
There's never been a silent end
There's never been a night to spend without you
We might be a long way from heaven
But I won't give in
No, not like this
I feel it is my Saturn return
There's a lot we can win
Just not like this
Silky soft words are forgotten
But you treat me
Come inside, I'll keep you warm
Though it hurts me, leaves me torn
Every time you lend a hand
Our love outlasts the storm again
Again
Again
We might be a long way from heaven
But I won't give in
No, not like this
I feel it is my Saturn return
There's a lot we can win
Just not like this
We might be a long way from heaven
But I won't give in
No, not like this
I feel it is my Saturn return
There's a lot we can win
Just not like this
Awake in bed 'cause lately sleep ain't been my friend
Which leaves me with no happy end
You said it all keeps playing end
And even though I might complain
You know I feel the same old way about you, babe
I'll love you till the very end
I love you, I can't see my life without you
We might be a long way from heaven
But I won't give in
No, not like this
I feel it is my Saturn return
There's a lot we can win
Just not like this
I see us pass the sleepless nights
I see us pass the silent fights and arguing
We'll make it through the distance phases
We'll make it through the stomach aches and crying, tears
Somehow we're back to fear again
Somehow we're back to questioning or leaving
There's never been a silent end
There's never been a night to spend without you
We might be a long way from heaven
But I won't give in
No, not like this
I feel it is my Saturn return
There's a lot we can win
Just not like this
Silky soft words are forgotten
But you treat me
Come inside, I'll keep you warm
Though it hurts me, leaves me torn
Every time you lend a hand
Our love outlasts the storm again
Again
Again
We might be a long way from heaven
But I won't give in
No, not like this
I feel it is my Saturn return
There's a lot we can win
Just not like this
We might be a long way from heaven
But I won't give in
No, not like this
I feel it is my Saturn return
There's a lot we can win
Just not like this

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.

@[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 haven't even heard the song,but the lyrics tell a beautiful story.
