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.
Whoa whoa
Do do do do do
Yeah
Yeah
Yo,
Tell me fellas have you seen her? (seen her)
It was about five minutes ago
When I seen the hottest chick
That young'n
Never seen before
I said yo
Tell her girls I want to meet her (meet her)
On a second thought that ain't the way to go
I got give her game proper
Spit it so she'll get it
There she is I got to stop her
Or should I talk about her smile? (It's been said before)
Or what about her style? (Too obvious)
I'm out of time
She's out the door
I got to go for mine
I think I'll say
Yo
I don't know your name but excuse me miss
I saw you from across the room
And I got to admit that you got my attention
You're making me want to say yo
I know you're tryin' to leave but excuse me miss
I saved the last dance for you
How I love to keep you here with me oh baby
Now shorty grab hold of my hand
And let's pretend the floor is ours
You say you don't really dance
Don't worry about it
We'll just one two step
One two step
Now if the music is moving too fast (too fast)
Grab my hand a little tighter (tighter)
Don't be afraid to move a little closer
Girl, there is something about you that makes me want to say
Yo
I don't know your name but excuse me miss
I saw you from across the room
And I got to admit that you got my attention
You're making me want to say yo
I know you're trying to leave but excuse me miss
I saved the last dance for you
How I love to keep you here with me oh baby
I think I'll say yo
I don't know your name but excuse me miss
I saw you from across the room
And I got to admit that you got my attention
You're making me want to say yo
I know you're trying to leave but excuse me miss
I saved the last dance for you
How I love to keep you here with me oh baby
I want to be where you are
Ain't nothin' wrong with dancin'
Baby you're so romantic
Baby I can be in your heart
So many things I want to tell you
I think that I should start by saying yo
I don't know your name but excuse me miss
I saw you from across the room
I got to give her game proper
Spit it so she get it
There she is, I got to stop her
I know your trying to leave but excuse me miss
I saved the last dance for you
How I love to keep you here with me oh baby
Now everybody just clap your hands like this (like this)
Just clap your hands like this (whoo, like this)
And if your shorty in the house tonight
Just grab her by the hand homie
Make her understand y'all was made to dance like this (like this)
Y'all was made to bounce like this (whoa, like this)
Just let her know she was made for you
And you want to do everything she want to, man
Whoo!
Do do do do do
Yeah
Yeah

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
