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.
How could you know
That behind my eyes a sad girl cried
And how could you know
That I hurt so much inside
How could you know
That I'm not the average girl
I'm carrying the weight of the world [Yeah..]
So can you get me out of here
Take me away
We`ll jump in the car
Drive till the gas runs out
And then walk so far
That we can't see this place anymore
Take a day off
Give it a rest
So I can forget about this mess
If I lighten up a little bit
I will be, Over it
I'm playing the role of the happy girl but no one knows
Inside I'm alone but I will never let it show
I get every day
Too much work and not enough play
Over and over its always the same [Yeah..]
But you can make everything okay
Take me away
We'll jump in the car
Drive till the gas runs out
And then walk so far
That we can't...see...this place anymore
Take a day off
Give it a rest
So I can forget about this mess
If I lighten up a little bit
Then I will be
Over it [Over it]
And when the world is closing in
I can leave it all and just walk away
I can always start all over again
I am closer to a better day
Take me away
Jump in the car
Drive till the gas runs out
And then walk so far
That we can't see this place anymore
Take a day off
Give it a rest
So I can forget about this mess
If I lighten up a little bit
Then I will be...
[Take me Away]
[Take me away]
Take me away
We'll jump in the car
Drive till the gas runs out
And then walk so far
And we can't...see...this place anymore
Take a day off
Give it a rest
So I can forget about this mess
If I lighten up a little bit
Then I will be...
If I lighten up a little bit
Then I will be...
Over it
[Over it]
[I am over it]
That behind my eyes a sad girl cried
And how could you know
That I hurt so much inside
How could you know
That I'm not the average girl
I'm carrying the weight of the world [Yeah..]
So can you get me out of here
Take me away
We`ll jump in the car
Drive till the gas runs out
And then walk so far
That we can't see this place anymore
Take a day off
Give it a rest
So I can forget about this mess
If I lighten up a little bit
I will be, Over it
I'm playing the role of the happy girl but no one knows
Inside I'm alone but I will never let it show
I get every day
Too much work and not enough play

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Firstly, I completely love this song. Up to this point it is the only excellent Disney Song [Aly and AJ don't count and Hannah Montana just sucks imo].
I think this song is about just getting away from our crazy lives for a second. We are always busy and have tons of issues to deal with. Sometimes it seems like the world is going too fast. In my opinion, Van Der Pol is expressing that every once and awhile we should follow a whim and do something exciting and not care about what is going on elsewhere in our lives. We need to get over our problems and just try to lighten up and slow down.
