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.
You say you don't know me
You say you don't owe me
You say that you won't be happy waiting
You think that you're worth it
You think you deserve it
You want it all right now, your way
Together we're one
(That is my finish line)
Together we're one
(Why don't you realize)
Together we're one
(I know that everything's gonna be fine, together)
Together we're one
[Chorus]
One in a million
Don't be afraid
Don't say you've got plenty on the way, number one
It's gonna be brilliant
Like it or leave it, I can't help but feel like I'm one
One in a million
I'm worth all the crap that I'm putting you through
I'll be blunt, be honest to this
Like it or love it or leave it
You decide, you decide
Don't waste my time
Sit back and unwind now
It's gonna be fine now
You can't justify your impatience
Together we're one
(That is my finish line)
Together we're one
(Why don't you realize)
Together we're one
(I know that everything's gonna be fine, together)
Together we're one
[Chorus]
What was that line in that one movie
When he looked at her like it would last forever
Said to her face that he'd do whatever it took to be her boy?
But above all what he wanted most
Credits roll, curtains close
Then you whispered in my ear
Together we're one in a million (Don't be afraid)
Together we're one in a million (Don't be afraid)
Together we're one
One in a million
Don't be afraid
Don't say you've got plenty on the way, number one
It's gonna be brilliant
Like it or leave it, I can't help but feel like I'm one
One in a million
I'm worth all the crap that I'm putting you through
I'll be blunt, be honest to this
Like it or love it or leave it
You decide, you decide
Don't waste my time
You decide, you decide
Leave it
You say you don't owe me
You say that you won't be happy waiting
You think that you're worth it
You think you deserve it
You want it all right now, your way
Together we're one
(That is my finish line)
Together we're one
(Why don't you realize)
Together we're one
(I know that everything's gonna be fine, together)
Together we're one
[Chorus]
One in a million
Don't be afraid
Don't say you've got plenty on the way, number one
It's gonna be brilliant
Like it or leave it, I can't help but feel like I'm one
One in a million
I'm worth all the crap that I'm putting you through
I'll be blunt, be honest to this
Like it or love it or leave it
You decide, you decide
Don't waste my time
Sit back and unwind now
It's gonna be fine now
You can't justify your impatience
Together we're one
(That is my finish line)
Together we're one
(Why don't you realize)
Together we're one
(I know that everything's gonna be fine, together)
Together we're one
[Chorus]
What was that line in that one movie
When he looked at her like it would last forever

Together we're one in a million (Don't be afraid)
Together we're one
One in a million
Don't be afraid
Don't say you've got plenty on the way, number one
It's gonna be brilliant
Like it or leave it, I can't help but feel like I'm one
One in a million
I'm worth all the crap that I'm putting you through
I'll be blunt, be honest to this
Like it or love it or leave it
You decide, you decide
Don't waste my time
You decide, you decide
Leave it

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
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.
love this song
I think its about the boy wanting to have umm... sex with her but she doesn't want to yet
"You say that you won't be happy waiting You think that you're worth it You think you deserve it"
and that she is"worth all the crap that i'm putting you through" and if he like it, love it" then he could "leave it"
i never thought that this song was about sex until i took a few minutes to actually read the lyrics. it is most definitely about an impatient & anxious boyfriend.
"Sit back and unwind now It's gonna be fine now You can't justify your impatience"
also, in the background "there is no finish line" is sung. this is basically saying that there is no final destination of a relationship that defines it all. a relationship is about all of the little things along the way, not about reaching a final goal of having sex.
ohh yeah, aly & aj would totally would write about sex.<br /> <br /> -sarcasm.-
What was that line in that one movie? When he looked at her like it would last forever Said to her face that he'd do whatever it took to be her boy but above all what he wanted most Credits roll. Curtains close. Then you whispered in my ear Together we're one in a million (Don't be afraid) Together we're one in a million (Don't be afraid)
that is definetly the best part of the song...it kinda reminds me of how me and my bf kinda just look into eachothers eyes and the beat is amazing...but aly and aj definetly grew up alot you can tell by how there music changed and i think this song means that shes together with a guy and shes giving him a chance to stay with her.. or leave [it] well thats just a guess...:-*
i agree that is the best part!!! i love this song, its like OHNOZZ they said crap. haha:)
sorry
and if he DOESN"T like it then he could leave
my favorite on the new album for sure!
I most definently think that they are talking about a guy who wants to have sex, but they are saying no to him. I also think that they want to save sex for marriage and are alluding to the Bible when it says that after marriage, when two people have sex they become "one." (Ephesians 5:31 or Mark 10:8) I think that is what the lyrics are referring to when they say "together we're one." Then when they say "I can't help but feel like I'm one, one in a million" they mean that they feel like everyone is having sex and that they are one of the very few that don't want to yet.
YOU ALL SAID EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO SAY! Hehehe... Yes, it's DEFINITELY about sex.
I think "Flattery" also references to a guy trying to get a girl into bed too!
I am so sorry. I meant "Blush," not "Flattery!"
