You're not the only one
who thinks they're the only one
to feel this numb, in spite of the
distance you've come.

Light comes in through the eyes.
(It's) something that you recognize,
but you've ignored, cause nobody
told you what to ask for.

The heart is a wilderness
with beauty and emptiness
that you endure, cause you
never can be sure.

...and it rolls and it tumbles forward,
and it pushes the envelope,
'cause it's nowhere and everywhere,
and it's breaking your heart to watch it.

In case you're the only one-
nobody else's child,
stay here you're mine, there's gotta be
something you can find here.

It hurt so you took it out.
You're gonna work it out.
No visible line could possibly define...

...and it's hiding up there in the corner,
like a child you're in the need of protection,
and it keeps you as long as you let it,
and it holds you 'til it's all you are,
and it pushes the envelope,
'til it freezes your need to reconnect,
and you've grown to depend upon it,
and it's breaking your heart- watch it go.

The Spy
Doors, The
Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.
