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.
Ive finally discovered what makes you tick,
and i cant say i miss it, or that you should be too proud of it.
Now im driving away,
wishing you would have stayed,
Ill never forget you, I hope things work out for you that way.
Cus weve been here before, and its getting old.
Weve been fighting this fight, never taking the time to let things go.
Oh no, i dont know what to do, i dont know what to say,
to make you stay, to make you stay.
I feel like this is so surreal, I dont know whats the deal,
wish youd,ve stayed, wish you had stayed.
I finally discovered just how you feel,
you had fallen in love and expected a reaction,
some strange kind of attraction.
and i didnt ask you questions, noi, i just ran away.
now im patientally waiting for a response youd sing one day.
Didnt think anything would come of it,
but i guess i could be wrong with this,
hey, im only man, im only a man.
Oh no, i dont know what to do, i dont know what to say,
to make you stay, to make you stay.
I feel like this is so surreal, I dont know whats the deal,
wish youd,ve stayed, wish you had stayed.
Finally were getting somewhere,
[Finding out just who we really are]
Finally were getting somewhere now.
Finally were getting somewhere,
[Finding out just who we really are]
Finally weve got past the things we see in who we really are.
Oh no, i dont know what to do, i dont know what to say,
to make you stay, to make you stay.
I feel like this is so surreal, I dont know whats the deal,
wish youd,ve stayed, wish you had stayed.
Oh no, i dont know what to do, i dont know what to say,
to make you stay, to make you stay.
I feel like this is so surreal, I dont know whats the deal,
wish youd,ve stayed, wish you had stayed.
and i cant say i miss it, or that you should be too proud of it.
Now im driving away,
wishing you would have stayed,
Ill never forget you, I hope things work out for you that way.
Cus weve been here before, and its getting old.
Weve been fighting this fight, never taking the time to let things go.
Oh no, i dont know what to do, i dont know what to say,
to make you stay, to make you stay.
I feel like this is so surreal, I dont know whats the deal,

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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
Bee Gees

@[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.
''Ive finally discovered what makes you tick, and i cant say i miss it, or that you should be too proud of it. Now im driving away, wishing you would have stayed,'' - there is something about her that frustrates him and she loves herself for that ''something''
''Weve been fighting this fight, never taking the time to let things go. Oh no, i dont know what to do, i dont know what to say, to make you stay, to make you stay. I feel like this is so surreal, I dont know whats the deal, wish youd,ve stayed, wish you had stayed.'' - they've almost broken up before, he wants her to stay and this is so sudden of her to leave
I finally discovered just how you feel, you had fallen in love and expected a reaction, some strange kind of attraction. and i didnt ask you questions, noi, i just ran away. now im patientally waiting for a response youd sing one day. - she fell inlove with another hoping he would change in time for them to get back together but he just gave up
"Finally were getting somewhere, [Finding out just who we really are] Finally were getting somewhere now.
Finally were getting somewhere, [Finding out just who we really are] Finally weve got past the things we see in who we really are." -they are learning from eachother and what has happened
Maybe the girl was ready to take the step of marriage but he wasnt. And that is what made her tick. The fact that he didn't want to move on to that yet. So since he isn't ready she is leaving. But the thing is he doesn't want to get married but he didn't want to lose her yet.
i think this song is about a couple that needs time apart in order to fix their relationship. they keep fighting about the same things hence "Cause we've been here before, and its getting old. We've been fighting this fight, never taking the time to let things grow." He finally understands that the only way to enhance the relationship is to let go and "let it grow." But he's not ready for that. He doesn't want to see her drive away because it's too hard. But finally, by being apart and talking about it, they're getting somewhere. Maybe the couple is too young to be together because they still have to find out who they are as singles before they can be part of a couple. anyway, good song. probably one of scene aesthetic's best.
This song was written about a bandmate that Andrew lost in danger radio. They fought for a long time and the other guy chose a girl over Andrew and the rest of danger. Andrew wrote it for him and eric.
Well that's what he said at the concert
i feel like the first few verses are the story of my life. like, the first three. especially the first one.
