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.
This might sting a bit
You got here just in time to see everything fall apart
I'm not upset at all
But it's sad to see that everybody knows
That I've been down in here before and maybe I could want it more
I know I never tried to stop I never try
Shut your mouth and hey
So what's one more excuse, guess
I just like the abuse
Dizzied up in my never try vertigo
They're calling out for blood, guess it's just understood
Said we'd always try, as long as
I just don't do
Disappointed
And no one thought that this would be me and my everything
Is this pound of flesh enough
And I'll cut away until you say enough
I've been down in here before and maybe I could hit some more
I know I never tried to stop I never try
Shut your mouth and hey
So what's one more excuse, guess
I just like the abuse
Dizzied up in my never try vertigo
They're calling out for blood, guess it's just understood
Said we'd always try, as long as
I just don't do
Heartbeat, heartbeat
Hey
So what's one more excuse, guess
I just like the abuse
Dizzied up in my never try vertigo
They're calling out for blood, guess it's just understood
Said we'd always try, as long as
So what's a little vertigo? (Tell me what you wanna know)
So what's a little vertigo? (Tell me what you wanna know)
So what's a little vertigo? (Tell me what you wanna know)
So what's a little vertigo? (Tell me what you wanna know)
So what's a little vertigo? (Tell me what you wanna know)

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"
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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.
Holiday

@[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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Funny story about me, and it has something to do with this song: I was listening to it on my iPod a few hours ago, and I paused right near the end (about nine or ten seconds before the end of the song), during Josh's scream. So when I put the song on "play" again, I heard... "WHAAAAAAAAAAH" It was really freaky, but it was hilarious.
Anyway, I love this song. Although that may be because I'm a huge M-Trench fan. Hehehe.
