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.
i can see your years in my reflection
dents and cracks embedded in my skin
they will bloom in fireworks and fury
for all the times I didn't let you in
as i make my way through your convictions
let me pick the best fruit from your treee
and all the miles that we have put between us
have been filled with loving blisters and sour truths
one by one the seasons change you
maybe once but not for all
time can't paint the picture for you
dying leaves need time to fall
let me be the one you're running to
one by one the seasons change you
maybe once but not for all
time can't paint the picture for you
dying leaves need time to fall
dents and cracks embedded in my skin
they will bloom in fireworks and fury
for all the times I didn't let you in
as i make my way through your convictions
let me pick the best fruit from your treee
and all the miles that we have put between us
have been filled with loving blisters and sour truths
one by one the seasons change you
maybe once but not for all
time can't paint the picture for you
dying leaves need time to fall
let me be the one you're running to
one by one the seasons change you
maybe once but not for all
time can't paint the picture for you
dying leaves need time to fall

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.

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,
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
i'm pretty sure that it's "dents and cracks" in the second line..
i love this song so much, my favorite part is when he sings "let me be the one you're running to". it sums up what it feels like to want somebody to want you
Completely agree.
and also i don't think the 3rd line's right, but i'm not sure what it's supposed to say
i think it goes:<br /> <br /> dents and cracks embedded in my skin<br /> may will bloom in fireworks and fury
It could also be "And they will bloom in fireworks and furies"
