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.
Angry, very mutha fucking angry
over and over and over and over again
same set list same beat same tempo
same 1980s compilation
Lift up your bony little fists on high!
scratch my anger into your eyes
wake the dead, it’s time to die!
bang bang silver hammer go for the...
JUGULAR! (teeth sinking into throat)
No play unless I get it for free
vixens in black by the dozen lining up to see me
Don’t need mixing gotta keep my right hand free
love this club spread simplex 1 2 3
Deal me a card in the Suicide club
Falls from Grace with a wallet full of HATE
dis-ease of the soul called apathy
Revolt! here’s your change, have a nice day
Dish up a 3 course FUCK YOU platter
Faster, harder, louder, motherfucker
placebo more effective when they taste bitter
when diplomacy fails….go for the...
JUGULAR! (teeth sinking into throat)
Daddy gave you twin decks for your birthday
hands clapping, cameras snapping spin that wheel DJ
no skill dance a little just press play
spit venom, talk much, loves to complain
Back then when you would pretend to care
popping pills, hitting eject, sucking lots of…yeah..
glamour junky and the shiny affair
sucked down the vortex leaving a smear of hair
Lift up your bony little fists on high!
scratch my anger into your eyes
wake the dead, it’s time to die!
bang bang silver hammer go for the...
dish up a 3 course FUCK YOU platter
Faster, harder, louder, motherfucker

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
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.
Head > Heels

“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.
I cannot believe I'm the first to comment on this song!
Well, I think it's obvious. It's about emo posers and people who like to play angry when they don't have real problems. Like, 'My little Sister used some of my makeup, I wish she were dead, I hate her so much!' things like that. Angelspit is mocking these people and saying, 'it's been the same deal since 1980, you've just jumped on the bandwagon and you have no real reason to.'
Amazing song, one of my favorite. The song is basically what Heartless said, it's about how people just jump on the bandwagon when it comes to music.
From the way I see it, it looks to be a commentary on the stagnant 'alternative' culture (a theme present throughout 'blood death ivory'. In this case, a music scene filled with posers and insincere 'artists' who care more about image than substantial music.
I wouldn't go so far to say it's towards a specific group of people... Angelspit is all about social commentary but, I don't think they would try and specifically target a group of people to pick on (If you even consider emo a group of people).
I believe this song is about how ruthless and ill-cultured todays society is. The song itself is supposed to be ironic or sarcastic, & not necessarily what Angelspit's believes or views are.
Society is consumed with having a good time and materialistic things, And how whenever there is something important to be debated or decided on we go straight for war and destruction rather than actually finding a conclusion or solution.
It's like we're becoming more and more like animals slowly losing our humanity.
Yeah?
