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've been watching while you sleep, baby.
Hoping I'm the only to frequent your dreams.
I can't take another breath without feeling the regret of my jealously.
Horrified that you might have really lied
Tell me, is it a possibility?
Overwhelming proof. That you're nothing but a fake.
I've seen those hush hush looks you give when you're talking to him.
I've heard your undercover tone of voice.
That you use for all the boys.
I've been nonchalant about the calls at two AM.
But do you really think that I would believe it was just your mother again?
I can't take another breath without feeling the regret of my jealousy.
Horrified that you might have really lied
Tell me, is it a possibility?
Overwhelming proof. That you're nothing but a fake.
I've seen those hush hush looks you give when you're talking to him.
I've heard your undercover tone of voice.
That you use for all the boys.
I've witnessed all your sneaking around.
In every corner of town.
I've listened while you pretended to cry.
Defending your hush hush alibi.
Your heart is charcoal.
Smoking black.
Why don't you just tie the mattress to your back?
I've seen those hush hush looks you give.
Hush hush. Yeah.
I've seen those hush hush looks you give when you're talking to him.
I've heard your undercover tone of voice.
That you use for all the boys.
(I've seen those hush hush looks you give. Hush hush looks you give.)
For all the boys.
(I've seen those hush hush looks you give. Hush hush looks you give.)
Hoping I'm the only to frequent your dreams.
I can't take another breath without feeling the regret of my jealously.
Horrified that you might have really lied
Tell me, is it a possibility?
Overwhelming proof. That you're nothing but a fake.
I've seen those hush hush looks you give when you're talking to him.
I've heard your undercover tone of voice.
That you use for all the boys.
I've been nonchalant about the calls at two AM.
But do you really think that I would believe it was just your mother again?
I can't take another breath without feeling the regret of my jealousy.
Horrified that you might have really lied

I've seen those hush hush looks you give when you're talking to him.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
to people saying its a self explanitory song - yes, but youre missing one key point on one key line.
"i cant take another breath without feeling the REGRETS of my jealousy"
He's not certain his g/f is cheating on him, but hes got THE biggest feeling that she is. But when he asks her about it, she throws it in his face because i mean what girl wants to be with an overly jealous guy? so she gets pissed and says "THATS SO STUPID! I CANT BELIEVE YOU WOULD THINK THAT!" then he regrets feeling jealous.. the rest of the song pretty much explains what he REALLY wants to say to her, when initially he said "babe, i think i got a problem.. one side of me is telling me youre the best thing that i could ever have, and the other side is telling me you hate me, you hated me from the start, and youre conspiring against me to get me back for something that im not even aware of. doing it all with my friends, dirty crackheads from the club, and LOVING it."
-i know that from experience with my last g/f, trust me, hes messed up in the head just like me. insecure, depressed and pretty much all around psycho. :)
p.s. im pretty sure its "hush hush LIPS you give".. you know when someone says "shhh"... thats a hush.. she just gives the lips though so he doesnt hear the "shhh" part.
love the spill, make me feel like a normal person :)
shots of love all around
