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.
You are always right beside me
Never leaving your post you always find me in the end
And never stop to picture about the past
Bided my name from day one it never last
I thought so, suspicious from the start
My eyes covered, a blind-folded lost soul
Gotta find my way, through the mystery
Time's up, and it's time to pay
Even though I once believed our love was neverending
I had to face the fact you ruined it all
You can't see me
Lost in the shadows till you're gone
Waiting just to see you cry (I'll be right behind you)
You can't find me
No matter where you look
I won't be around
I'll be right behind you
(I'll be right behind, right behind you)
None of us wanted it to be this way
I would be, trapped in enemy land if I'd stay
like a ticking bomb, about to blow any time
????????????????????
You see, this world don't need a fool like you
But I'm ?????? to stay I got lots to do
So before you close your eyes and
Turn off the light
Take a look again
To find where I die
Even though I once believed our love was neverending
I had to face the fact you ruined it all
You can't see me
Lost in the shadows till you're gone
Waiting just to see you cry (I'll be right behind you)
You can't find me
No matter where you look
I won't be around
I'll be right behind you
(I'll be right behind, right behind you)
Come on, come on
Right behind you
None of us wanted it to be this way
Like a ticking bomb, about to blow anytime
????????????
This world don't need a fool like you

You can't find me
No matter where you look

I'll be right behind you
(I'll be right behind, right behind you)
You can't see me
Lost in the shadows till you're gone
Waiting just to see you cry (I'll be right behind you)
You can't find me
No matter where you look
I won't be around
I'll be right behind you

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/
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.
I think this is about someone who broke up with another and is apparently still very bitter about it.
