Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Look at the world around
I'm such a shattered disappointment
And all the love I've found
Could never be the love I've wanted
And I know I'm just afraid
If there's a chance somehow
that I could ever make this better
Give me the chance right now cause I will be there till forever
And I know, I'm just afraid
That if I give you everything I have you'll throw it all away
And I'll crawl right in through your window
Don't say your sorry just tell me something I don't know
Crawl right in through your window
Don't say there’s nothing wrong
I take it all back now
I have never felt much better
And giving you up somehow
Has helped me see things so much clearer
And I know, I'm just afraid
That if I give you everything I have you'll throw it all away
So I'll be brave, yes I'll be brave
And I'll crawl right in through your window
Don't say your sorry just tell me something I don't know
Crawl right in through your window
Don't say there's nothing wrong
Yes it's okay,
That there is something there to fix all that you've burned into my brain
But it's okay, yes I'll be brave
But if there really is a God up there,
Does he still know my name?
I'll be brave, yes I'll be brave
And I'll crawl right in through your window
Don't say your sorry just tell me something I don't know
Crawl right in through your window
Don't say there's nothing wrong
Crawl right in through your window
Don't say there's nothing wrong
Crawl right in through your window
Don't say there's nothing wrong
I'm such a shattered disappointment
And all the love I've found
Could never be the love I've wanted
And I know I'm just afraid
If there's a chance somehow
that I could ever make this better
Give me the chance right now cause I will be there till forever
And I know, I'm just afraid
That if I give you everything I have you'll throw it all away
And I'll crawl right in through your window
Don't say your sorry just tell me something I don't know
Crawl right in through your window
Don't say there’s nothing wrong
I take it all back now
I have never felt much better
And giving you up somehow
Has helped me see things so much clearer
And I know, I'm just afraid
That if I give you everything I have you'll throw it all away
So I'll be brave, yes I'll be brave
And I'll crawl right in through your window
Don't say your sorry just tell me something I don't know
Crawl right in through your window
Don't say there's nothing wrong
Yes it's okay,
That there is something there to fix all that you've burned into my brain
But it's okay, yes I'll be brave
But if there really is a God up there,
Does he still know my name?
I'll be brave, yes I'll be brave
And I'll crawl right in through your window
Don't say your sorry just tell me something I don't know
Crawl right in through your window
Don't say there's nothing wrong
Crawl right in through your window
Don't say there's nothing wrong
Crawl right in through your window
Don't say there's nothing wrong

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 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.
Mountain Song

Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
