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.
My hands 'round your throat
If I kill you now, well, they will never know
Wake me up if I'm sleeping
By the look in your eyes I know the time's nearly come
Wake me up 'cause I'm dreaming
Well, they'll never believe what's been happening here
But caught in my mind there's a way to get out
Wake me up 'cause I'm dreaming
Well they'll never believe it
So hush now, my baby, please don't cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Hush now, darling, I can hear you're screaming
Let me hold you until the morning comes
So tell me this is what you want
You can whisper it softly, you can scream it out loud
'Cause there's still time to change your mind
But do it now before tomorrow comes
Wake me up 'cause I'm dreaming
Well, they'll never believe it
So hush now, my baby, please don't cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Hush now, darling, I can hear you're screaming
Let me hold you until the morning comes
Until the morning comes
The light is fading
But the stars are there so bright
My mind is racing like clouds across the sky
How did you make me go, this far?
If I kill you now, well, they will never know
Wake me up if I'm sleeping
By the look in your eyes I know the time's nearly come
Wake me up 'cause I'm dreaming
Well, they'll never believe what's been happening here
But caught in my mind there's a way to get out
Wake me up 'cause I'm dreaming
Well they'll never believe it
So hush now, my baby, please don't cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Hush now, darling, I can hear you're screaming
Let me hold you until the morning comes
So tell me this is what you want
You can whisper it softly, you can scream it out loud
'Cause there's still time to change your mind
But do it now before tomorrow comes
Wake me up 'cause I'm dreaming
Well, they'll never believe it
So hush now, my baby, please don't cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Hush now, darling, I can hear you're screaming
Let me hold you until the morning comes
Until the morning comes
The light is fading
But the stars are there so bright
My mind is racing like clouds across the sky
How did you make me go, this far?

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
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.
I endured this song from the 20th to the 23rd of February in 2015. It gave me the release to truly let go of this person (with whom I shared this song as a farewell).
For Pi: He doesn't want to kill her. He just can't believe how hard he's fallen for her. No one would ever know how strongly he could love if it wasn't for her. She brought something beautiful out of him that he'd never realized. She was his dream, and now she can't be with him. And yet, he's not upset. He's consoling her, how terrible she feels as she's wanting to leave. He does this because he has hope now. He knows how to truly love as he ventures through this tiny part of the universe. All he wants to do (just as I did on our last night together) before it's truly over is hold her "Until The Morning Comes."
