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 will ask you this.
Can you spare a kiss?
Can you picture this coming from my lips?
A whisper from miles away.
I will send you this
And seal it with a kiss.
Can you take this lipstick and lightplay,
And carry it miles away?
I will walk 'cross the ocean
To where the sky meets the sea,
Give this ghost my devotion,
To keep you from me.
Just say goodbye.
I live, and i'll die.
Hooked on a star, enraptured by the sky,
In love with a satellite.
I can now admit I'm lost in loveliness.
Who could just resist distant beauty?
Find me if you find a way.
You may love it if you tried this detachment.
From this distance the beauty burns brightly.
It's warmer from worlds away.
Just say goodbye.
I live, and i'll die.
Hooked on a star, enraptured by the sky,
In love with a satellite.
I'll stare forever,
And love whatever breaks my heart.
Oh, oh, oh.
I'll stare forever.
And love whatever breaks my heart.
Oh, oh, oh.
Just say goodbye.
I live, and i'll die.
Hooked on a star, enraptured by the sky.
Oh!
Just say goodbye.
I live, and i'll die.
Hooked on a star, enraptured by the sky,
In love with a satellite.
(Oh, oh, oh.)
Just say (just say) goodbye.
I live (I live) and i'll die.
Hooked on a star, enraptured by the sky,
In love with a satellite.
Can you spare a kiss?
Can you picture this coming from my lips?
A whisper from miles away.
I will send you this
And seal it with a kiss.
Can you take this lipstick and lightplay,
And carry it miles away?
I will walk 'cross the ocean
To where the sky meets the sea,
Give this ghost my devotion,
To keep you from me.
Just say goodbye.
I live, and i'll die.
Hooked on a star, enraptured by the sky,
In love with a satellite.
I can now admit I'm lost in loveliness.
Who could just resist distant beauty?
Find me if you find a way.
You may love it if you tried this detachment.
From this distance the beauty burns brightly.
It's warmer from worlds away.
Just say goodbye.
I live, and i'll die.
Hooked on a star, enraptured by the sky,
In love with a satellite.
I'll stare forever,
And love whatever breaks my heart.
Oh, oh, oh.
I'll stare forever.
And love whatever breaks my heart.
Oh, oh, oh.
Just say goodbye.
I live, and i'll die.
Hooked on a star, enraptured by the sky.
Oh!
Just say goodbye.
I live, and i'll die.
Hooked on a star, enraptured by the sky,
In love with a satellite.
(Oh, oh, oh.)
Just say (just say) goodbye.
I live (I live) and i'll die.
Hooked on a star, enraptured by the sky,
In love with a satellite.

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
YAY! I'm glad you posted the lyrics! This song makes me happy
