Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I see you carry the code
It's in code I'll be left again
And the sun seems to follow through
Whoa, on a promise to follow you
Baby the climb, will in time brim out you as you're always
Seek in me a harmony of rhyme
In time as I wait
As time unwinds
Chorus:
As I dive over the finish line
As I dive over the finish line
I see you calling his name
Yes, and can't explain the ‘whys' of your wishes
Then you call me places
And you leave me ages
While I send my senses to outplay my patience
But I know you know I
I must swear you hear me say,
Though, our misses are not in glance
So, I miss you, whoa, whoa
And I run through, through you
Chorus:
As I dive over the finish line
As I dive over the finish line
As I dive over the finish line
It's in code I'll be left again
And the sun seems to follow through
Whoa, on a promise to follow you
Baby the climb, will in time brim out you as you're always
Seek in me a harmony of rhyme
In time as I wait
As time unwinds
Chorus:
As I dive over the finish line
As I dive over the finish line
I see you calling his name
Yes, and can't explain the ‘whys' of your wishes
Then you call me places
And you leave me ages
While I send my senses to outplay my patience
But I know you know I
I must swear you hear me say,
Though, our misses are not in glance
So, I miss you, whoa, whoa
And I run through, through you
Chorus:
As I dive over the finish line
As I dive over the finish line
As I dive over the finish line

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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 see you, carry the course Some girl up and left again And the sun seems to follow through Oh, On a promise to follow you Maybe the climb will in time Remind you as you're always Seeking me on harmony of rhyme In time, as I wait, as time unwinds
As I dive over the finish line As I dive over the finish line
I see you, call his name, Bliss, I can't explain the whys of your wishing Then you call me places And you leave me aging While I send my senses I play by patience
But I know you know I I must swear you hear my say "No, our misses are not a plan" So I miss you And I run through Through you
As I dive over the finish line As I dive over the finish line As I dive over the finish line
That's my take on it.
