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 fall. i though i could walk through these rainy days without your looking upon me. how could i go through one day, just one day without your eyes upon me.
one look from you could wipe out the sad days of my life. all those rainy days, they are all gone.
you know you shouldn't...you shouldn't look at me, right now, like you do now. just turn away your gaze from me. inside.. you make me feel sad.
you make me feel a feeling. don't leave me. you have gotten me this feeling.
don't leave me right here. oh, but i know.. i need you. can't you see? this whole time i've been addicted to you. to you.
i'm so thankful that you give me the small light you do, you are the only one that makes me feel anything at all.
you make me feel something...something real.
one look from you could wipe out the sad days of my life. all those rainy days, they are all gone.
you know you shouldn't...you shouldn't look at me, right now, like you do now. just turn away your gaze from me. inside.. you make me feel sad.
you make me feel a feeling. don't leave me. you have gotten me this feeling.
don't leave me right here. oh, but i know.. i need you. can't you see? this whole time i've been addicted to you. to you.
i'm so thankful that you give me the small light you do, you are the only one that makes me feel anything at all.
you make me feel something...something real.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Just A Little Lovin'
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I absolutely love this song it has so much emotion in it, especially when you can relate to it. It's one of the most heartfelt songs i've heard... I can't believe no ones really commented on it just 4.
