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.
I thought I had it so bad.
I didn't realize how much I relied on you.
More than just a memory,
More like a feelin'.
I'd remember every time,
Anytime I needed it.
And I needed it more
Than I could have imagined
Cause this feelin' went deep
In my mind, my heart, and my soul.
But late one night
I stumbled by the home,
Cursing awful things
Hope she didn't hear me.
Oh, but I think she did,
As I hug my new found sorrow.
Oddly, it gives me strength
In my mind, my heart, and my soul.
Sorry.
I'm sorry
My heart sank with the moon
On that horrible walk
All alone by the drive in.
And the night stood still
While lovers entwined
On the screen on the hill
I knew somethin' had happened
In my mind, my heart and my soul.
That little grin,
It meant so much.
So sad, it's so sad
If it don't grin for me no more.
But I hope you know better.
I didn't mean what I was saying.
But its a fool that says
I was only joking
In my mind, my heart, and my soul.
Don't you mind me
If switch from first to the second person.
I'm mixed up. I don't know
Who I'm talking to.
Oh, but somethin's missin'.
I hope I can bring it back.
It's somethin' that I lack
In my mind, my heart, and my soul.
I'm sorry.
sorry.
I'm sorry
I didn't realize how much I relied on you.
More than just a memory,
More like a feelin'.
I'd remember every time,
Anytime I needed it.
And I needed it more
Than I could have imagined
Cause this feelin' went deep
In my mind, my heart, and my soul.
But late one night
I stumbled by the home,
Cursing awful things
Hope she didn't hear me.
Oh, but I think she did,
As I hug my new found sorrow.
Oddly, it gives me strength
In my mind, my heart, and my soul.
Sorry.
I'm sorry
My heart sank with the moon
On that horrible walk
All alone by the drive in.
And the night stood still
While lovers entwined
On the screen on the hill
I knew somethin' had happened
In my mind, my heart and my soul.
That little grin,
It meant so much.
So sad, it's so sad
If it don't grin for me no more.
But I hope you know better.
I didn't mean what I was saying.
But its a fool that says
I was only joking
In my mind, my heart, and my soul.
Don't you mind me
If switch from first to the second person.
I'm mixed up. I don't know
Who I'm talking to.
Oh, but somethin's missin'.
I hope I can bring it back.
It's somethin' that I lack
In my mind, my heart, and my soul.
I'm sorry.
sorry.
I'm sorry

Fast Car

"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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
