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.
If someone you knows is in the room is talking to the wall all day,
Don't be afraid it probably means they went out and bought my tape
Cuz all it takes is these friendly top doorbells
And I could rhyme the language that translates crop circles
Controversial cuz I contest commercial rappers
That gets on bottles while they're rollin in their convertables
Don't take it personal, I was born to burn you all
But worse it's beserk I'm forced to state what a (???)
I'm a crime-watcher, that's right I watch crimes and laugh
And take my half of the profits, after watching for cop cars
I can't co-operate, only operate, chase (???) and take whats in their bank
People people, when they see me get busy cuz I'm very very dope and I'm freakin the funky line (x2)
I'm down for the cause
like suicide bombers, I made a life promise
Wooshing underground through the city night commerce
Side only spreads through these southernly threads
I got a beautiful mind, it's just stuck in an ugly head
Stunnin, my skill with someone run-of-the-mill
We comin, real, we're from Adelaide (run-of-the-mill...)
This underground (???) by any means, we aiin't gettin creamed
Witnessing a burn you've never (???)
The larger they are, the harder they fall
So I drink till they can hardly recall having a body at all
I've had enough of, I aiin't actin tough, I'm actin up
But when you put MC's under pressure, I aiin't into all that faggot stuff
This rhyme'll hit so bad, imma go mad
And Think of MC's 4th an atom up into my vocab(?)
Your wife's a bitch and Death's a slut
Cuz Death comes for everyone, and when it's your turn, you're fucked
People people, when they see me get busy cuz I'm very very dope and I'm freakin the funky line (x2)
I think I'm (???), let's have a round of applause
I'm down for the cause, I'm movin mountains, bouncin off walls
I'm countin scores this is Confused councelors talkin shit, forced to spit
From now until I'm on stage, with walking sticks
To picture the potrait of an anney(?) corporate kids
Get rappers gettin court orders against (???)
I'm mad for life, In the club, hand me the mic
I keep my verses, and get myself banned for life
If these, hecklers dissin, and I'm standing on stage,
I'm gonna call you out and show the true meaning of crowd participation
Rollin down a (???), slap the shit out of a groupie
I distracts store managers, while I'm stealin nicca(?) and movies
Forever broke, no job, no where left to go
Jerry Springer comes on, and I've already seen the episode
This is when you know you're really unemployed, brain's destroyed
Sippin a Centrelink and you see all your fuckin boys
People people, when they see me get busy cuz I'm very very dope and I'm freakin the funky line (x2)
MC's claim they're movin you (are they serious?)
That's not the fact though, The fact is, you couldn't sell a burger to Fat Joe
Think you're all that, you'll be fallin back
(Jaqulines here) They call her Jaq, I call her fat
So I packed, shirts, (?), slacks, photo
Step on this mic, and when your lifes flashing back
This song's more fatal than second-hand medicine
I even bought Federine beatbox(?)
connect to Thomas Edison, through lettering, and underground peddling
I get these kids, open life, lungs of vitaline(?)
Presenting them like(???)
I'm down from the cause, protecting (???)
Like cats on Viagra, I can serve you all night
Call me the customer, because I'm always right
And I'm always mad tired, like rich people with funds
And this song's more deadly then sharing needles with bums!
People people, when they see me get busy cuz I'm very very dope and I'm freakin the funky line (x2)
Don't be afraid it probably means they went out and bought my tape
Cuz all it takes is these friendly top doorbells
And I could rhyme the language that translates crop circles

Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
