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.
All non-believers, stand aside in fear
A new day is marching through the door
How could you ever think you'd make it here?
Did it bleed? Was it sore?
Through the struggles you've endured
You've come so far from innocence
Provided all the consequence
Only what does it matter now?
'Cause you're going home, you're running free
As only you would be, if you never owed them anything
And now, you've found your way out
In the trust you've seen your path on home, oh, whoa
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Spend your time well before you go
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Here in hell
Your living ends before the engineer
What was your motive in this fight?
(Did they play you for the weaker of them?)
How could you ever think you'd make it here?
Was it greed that pushed your heart
Through the struggles you've endured?
You've come so far from innocence
Provided all the consequence
Only what does it matter now?
'Cause you're going home, you're running free
As only you would be, if you never owed them anything
And now you've found your way out
In the trust you've seen your path on home, oh
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Spend your time well before you go
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Here in hell
(There's a hell in all of us)
Spend your time well before you go
(There's a hell in all of us)
In a loss that's all your own
(There's a hell in all of us)
There are no secrets you can hide
From yourself, in your mind, leave the worst of all behind
'Cause you're going home, you're running free
As only you would be, if you never owed them anything
And now you've found your way out
In the trust you've seen your path on home
'Cause you're going home, you're running free
As only you would be, if you never owed them anything
And now you've found your way out
In the trust you've seen your path on home, oh, whoa
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Spend your time well before you go
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

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
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.
