His loving wife
She said she misses him dearly
And she still gets up early in the morning like to wake him up
She said life was much better when they made it up
She's got his pension check in a frame next to the bed
Kisses it every morning so she'll never forget who he was, what he did
It should matter more than this

Few things remain clear to her about him
That voice, that phone. without his calls that he's late, it doesn't feel like home
We'll build an overpass so the underclass won't cross our street
As you write zeros, the boulevard grows

And this was him
He was a company hero
He was a martyr for zeros and the bottom line
But he traded his family for the overtime.
You always say you want to have kids but your life's over when theirs begins
And all the money that you're always saving for vacations that we never take.

Take all your money and give it away to some cause that we can relate to
Sponsor a corporation and keep the markets alive

Remember your sweet hair and how you used to let it down for me?
Was that passion?
Or just the fashion?

Not one more late night dinner alone
Not one more goodnight over the phone.
There's too many empty rooms in this house.
We'll tear down the walls til everything falls down

Ministry
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 Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
