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 didn't notice the sound of the kick of the door
I didn't notice the breath of the air in my face
I did not once look up into the rooftop sky
I didn't notice the feel that will always abide
I did not notice now the steady pass of time
All the seas bursting up
The queens rules the sidewalk
And now I noticed the face of three who didn't notice me
I didn't notice and I soon forgot
And there's a hole, in a hole, in a hole
In a
Down in a hole, in a hole
I fell right through the hole in you
There is, nobody
Not real, not true
There is, nobody
I did not notice you not being there at all
As she enters the tale through a crack in the wall
I didn't notice the curl around her sleeve
I didn't notice the fire still burning now, deep
In a hole, in a hole, in a
Down in a hole, in a hole
You fell into the hole in you
Not real, not true
There is, nobody
There's no me
There's no you
There is, nobody
I did not use to be confused
But when I look, it's all I see
There is, nobody
The daylight
Has ended
It's meanings
Surrendered
The light
Dead
It's not too late
There is, nobody
Not real, not true
There is, nobody
It is not new
It is not true
There is, nobody
It is not me
It is not true
There is, nobody
There is, nobody
I didn't notice the breath of the air in my face
I did not once look up into the rooftop sky
I didn't notice the feel that will always abide
I did not notice now the steady pass of time
All the seas bursting up
The queens rules the sidewalk
And now I noticed the face of three who didn't notice me
I didn't notice and I soon forgot
And there's a hole, in a hole, in a hole
In a
Down in a hole, in a hole
I fell right through the hole in you
There is, nobody
Not real, not true
There is, nobody
I did not notice you not being there at all
As she enters the tale through a crack in the wall
I didn't notice the curl around her sleeve
I didn't notice the fire still burning now, deep
In a hole, in a hole, in a
Down in a hole, in a hole
You fell into the hole in you
Not real, not true
There is, nobody
There's no me
There's no you
There is, nobody
I did not use to be confused
But when I look, it's all I see
There is, nobody
The daylight
Has ended
It's meanings
Surrendered
The light
Dead
It's not too late
There is, nobody
Not real, not true
There is, nobody
It is not new
It is not true
There is, nobody
It is not me
It is not true
There is, nobody
There is, nobody

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Corrections:
I didn't notice the sound of the click of the door, I didn't notice the breath of the air in my face, I did not once look up into the rooftop sky, I didn't notice the fear that we'll always abide I did not notice the steady now passing of time.
All the seas bursting up,
The queens rules the sidewalk, And though I noticed the faces of three who didn't notice me, I didn't notice then I soon forgot
And there's a hole, in a hole, in a hole, In a, Down in a hole, in a hole, I fell right through the hole in you.
There is, nobody, Not real, not true, There is, nobody.
I did not notice you not being there at all, She enters the tale through a crack in the wall, I didn't notice the curl around her sleeve, I didn't notice the fire still burning now, deep.
In a hole, in a hole, In a, Down in a hole, in a hole, You fell into the hole in you,
Not real, not true, There is, nobody, There is me, There is no you, There is, nobody, I did not used to be confused, But when I look, it's all I see, There is, nobody.
The daylight, Has ended, Its meanings, Surrendered, The light, dead, It's not too late.
There is, nobody, Not real, not true, There is, nobody, It is not me, It is not you, There is, nobody, It is not me, It is not you, There is, nobody.
There is, nobody.
