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.
Take everything your parents
Taught you, throw it to the dogs
Its forgotten flesh of something dead
Its blood drips from your jaws.
Take everything your school
Has taught you, throw it to the dogs.
It's meat that dries in summer
Heat and reeks now of its rot.
It speaks now of the fate
That we await, to be forgot..
Just as mountains live outside of rocks
And time itself outside of clocks
We hope that life exists
Beyond our lonely bones.. In the pine box.
From the bottom of my heart, at the top of my lungs
From the corner of my eye at the tip of my tongue
Take everything your parents
Taught you, throw it to the dogs
Its forgotten flesh of something dead
Its blood drips from your jaws.
Take everything your fucking school
Has taught you, throw it to the dogs.
It's meat that dries in summer
Heat and reeks now of its rot.
Its everywhere
Its everything, everyone.
It's anywhere, it's anything, it's anyone
It's the neighbour saving face
By saying grace, today for yesterday's behaviour
Oh my god
Live to fuck and fuck til death
Drink to sorrow and regrets
Taught you, throw it to the dogs
Its forgotten flesh of something dead
Its blood drips from your jaws.
Take everything your school
Has taught you, throw it to the dogs.
It's meat that dries in summer
Heat and reeks now of its rot.
It speaks now of the fate
That we await, to be forgot..
Just as mountains live outside of rocks
And time itself outside of clocks
We hope that life exists
Beyond our lonely bones.. In the pine box.
From the bottom of my heart, at the top of my lungs
From the corner of my eye at the tip of my tongue
Take everything your parents
Taught you, throw it to the dogs
Its forgotten flesh of something dead
Its blood drips from your jaws.
Take everything your fucking school
Has taught you, throw it to the dogs.
It's meat that dries in summer
Heat and reeks now of its rot.
Its everywhere
Its everything, everyone.
It's anywhere, it's anything, it's anyone
It's the neighbour saving face
By saying grace, today for yesterday's behaviour
Oh my god
Live to fuck and fuck til death
Drink to sorrow and regrets

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
I think the first part talks about breaking conventions and the changing of society. then it also deals with death, putting forth a picture of rotting flesh in death and asking the listeners if there is an afterlife ("We hope that life exists beyond our lonely bones in the pine box") . I think that the last part talks about hypocrisy and repenting for something and going back to it; the band then spells doom by depicting the last moments of such a person ("those who clasp their chests are lives as yet unfinished as they gasp their final breath.")
I think the first bit is talking about lessons and when we learn shit from our school, we always just forget it all in the summer. 'Reeks now of it's rot' Using meat as a metaphor perhaps?

And thus begins the climax of the album, in which our goddess is murdered by none other than us. Drawing parallels to The Dissentience, we throw the meat of our past to the dogs and abolish the way of the past, just as people did whilst overthrowing their leader, and just as they were, we will be forgot. We are but rocks in the great mountain of existence, and we do not matter in the least in the long run, despite our hope of life outside the pine box. Meaning exists everywhere, even in something as minute as my lungs or my eye, or in any human being on this earth. Pulling back to Wretch, our humble religious fellow believes he can be forgiven for all his sins in a simple act of prayer to his god, and his pent up lust turns to deranged fantasy, which spells out the nature of his god, one who is self created, and will exhibit any characteristics one wishes it to have. The final line also brings up wretch, as the goddess ("love") begets (gives birth to) the irony that those who believe in life beyond death fear death, and see life as unfinished even if they "believe" they will carry on.
Alrighty then, let's try that again. Had analysed the entire song and wrote it all here and then I accidentally closed the tab. Great work jackass.
"Take everything your parents taught you, throw it to the dogs Its forgotten flesh of something dead its blood drips from your jaws." It's about Christianity during the persecutes. Roman emperor Nero blamed the Christians for the Great Fire of Rome and thus, they were persecuted. Christianity started to grow rapidly, however. People started teaching it to each other, their children etc. Then I remembered my religion teacher telling my class about how Roman soldiers would throw the caught Christians to wild dogs to feast on.
"Take everything your school has taught you, throw it to the dogs. Its meat that dries in summer heat and reeks now of its rot. It speaks now of the fate that we await, to be forgot." The first line: see above. The second one, no idea. The third line means the promised afterlife. The "to be forgot" part may mean God may not grant us eternal life after all.
"We hope that life exists beyond our lonely bones in the pine box. From the bottom of my heart, at the top of my lungs From the corner of my eye at the tip of my tongue - its everywhere Its everything, everyone. It's anywhere, it's anything, it's anyone" Once again, afterlife. The next three lines most likely reflects the rapid growth and spread of Christianity. Just look it up yourself, it'll save me time and space.
"The neighbour saving face by saying grace today for yesterdays Behaviour, bound to tethers girls in leather unveil the true face Of his saviour." The message of Christianity is kindness and forgiveness towards others. I think it also means how quickly people changed their attitudes once they went Christian. Don't really know about the second line, it's some of that goddess stuff Arif mixed into this theme.
Not too sure about the rest, I'll have to think about them later. I'll at least try to get this up before I close this tab again.
this song gets boring on the long run
but the part after "OH MY GOD!" is fucking gold! old school riffs
