I'm on the doorstep
With my key turned in the door
Walk in the living room
And you're sat on the floor

My heart is aching
And I've never felt this bad
I pinch myself
To check that all of this is real

Keep faking
I'm not letting on, I feel this sad
And then you've got the cheek
To ask me how I feel

And I say absolutely nothing
I'm absolutely fine
Absolutely nothing
You can say to change my mind

Absolutely nothing
I'm absolutely fine
Absolutely nothing
You can say to change my mind

I know that you just want
To see me get upset
My world turned upside down
So what did you expect?

My heart is aching
And I've never felt this bad
I pinch myself
To check that all of this is real

Keep faking
I'm not letting on, I feel this sad
And then you've got the cheek
To ask me how I feel

And I say absolutely nothing
I'm absolutely fine
Absolutely nothing
You can say to change my mind

Absolutely nothing
I'm absolutely fine
Absolutely nothing
You can say to change my mind

You've seen me cry
Too many times
But not this time
No, not this time

I don't need you
To help me through
I'll be just fine
I'll be just fine

And I say absolutely nothing
I'm absolutely fine
Absolutely nothing
You can say to change my mind

Absolutely nothing
I'm absolutely fine
Absolutely nothing
You can say to change my mind

Absolutely nothing
I'm absolutely fine
Absolutely nothing
You can say to change my mind

Absolutely nothing
I'm absolutely fine
Absolutely nothing
You can say to change my mind

Absolutely nothing
I'm absolutely fine
Absolutely nothing
You can say to change my mind

Absolutely nothing
I'm absolutely fine
Absolutely nothing
You can say to change my mind

    its clearly about a break-up. bf breaks up with girl. shes heartbroken & wants to die but she doesnt want to let on how upset she is so she lies & tells him shes fine.

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.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
