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.
What You gonna do when it all breaks down
Take another heart through this lonely town
What You gonna do when she turns around
And says I never ever thought that you'd be messing 'round
But then You dance dance dance with the woman that let's you
How's it gonna feel until I catch You
What You gonna do when she turns around
And says you broke another heart that was broken down
It's a crying shame, that the love you've made
Is a cross that you bear when it's cold
Why don't you leave me alone?
Take another heart through this lonely town
What You gonna do when she turns around
And says I never ever thought that you'd be messing 'round
But then You dance dance dance with the woman that let's you
How's it gonna feel until I catch You
What You gonna do when she turns around
And says you broke another heart that was broken down
It's a crying shame, that the love you've made
Is a cross that you bear when it's cold
Why don't you leave me alone?

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
Mountain Song

Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Take a chance with the woman that lets you, Take a chance with the woman that lets you, How you gonna feel when it's all found out?, Chasin the heart that was up and down, What you gonna do when they turn around, And say they never ever thought that you'd be messin around.
But then You dance dance dance with the woman that let's you How's it gonna feel until I catch You
oops. wasn't finished. Here's some of the missing lyrics.(I think)
Take a chance with the woman that lets you, Take a chance with the woman that lets you, How you gonna feel when it's all found out?, Chasin the heart that was up and down, What you gonna do when they turn around, And say they never ever thought that you'd be messin around.
But then You dance dance dance with the woman that let's you How's it gonna feel until I catch You How you gonna find what she had in mind If you keep tearin out the pages of an alibi
What you gonna do when it all breaks down Chase another heart that's been runnin round How you gonna feel when your seal is down You say they never ever thought that i'd been messin round
It's a crying shame, that the love wont leave you alone.
ah this song is not completed here are the true lyrics.
"Whatch-you gonna do when it all breaks down? Take another heart through this lonely town? Whatch-you gonna do when she turns around, And says "I never even thought that you'd be messin' 'round." But then you dance dance dance with the woman who lets you, How's it going to feel, until I catch you, What you gonna do when she turns around, And says "You broke another heart that was broken down."
It's a crying shame, That the love you've made, Is a cross, that you bear, When it's coooooooooooooooooooooooooooold, Why don't you leave me alone?
Take a chance, with a woman who lets you, Take a chance, with a woman who lets you, How'd you gonna feel when it's all found out, Chase another heart that was up and down? Whatch-you gonna do when they turn around, And say "They never ever thought that you'd be messin' 'round." And then you dance dance dance with the woman who lets you, How's it going to feel, until I catch you, How d'ya gonna find what she had in mind? If you keep tearing out the pages of an aliby.
It's a crying shame, That the love you've made, Is a cross, that you bear,
It's a crying shame, That the love you've made, Is a cross, that you bear, When it's coooooooooooooooooooooooooooold, Why don't you leave me alone?
Take a chance, with a woman who lets you, Take a chance, with the woman who lets you, Take a chance.. Take a chance..
Ohhhhhhh Whatch-you gonna do when it all breaks down? Chase another heart thats been run around? How d'ya gonna feel when it settles down? You said "I never ever thought that I'd be messin' 'round." But then you dance dance dance with the woman who lets you, Whatch-you do until I catch you? How'd you gonna feel when she turns around, And says "You broke another heart that was broken down."
It's a crying shame, That the love you've made, It's a crying shame, That the love you've made, It's a crying shame, That the looooooovvvveee, won't leave you alone."
