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 woke up with my head on a bee's nest
And my feet on your jacket
It was a wild it was a wrong, it was a long long night
And your lips are like little stings
Set me to wondering
If there's anyway and anytime
I could have, I would have tried
I had you back but then you ran
Like you never ever knew me.
Fall into my arms again
Like you always wanted to
You always wanted to
But you never ever knew
I woke up with my mind on a reason
For why it's right to be leavin'
Until we're drawn into the swarm
Of a warm white tide
And your lips are like little stings
Set me to wondering
If there's anyway and anytime
I could have, I would have tried
I had you back but then you ran
Like you never ever knew me.
Fall into my arms again
Like you always wanted to
You always wanted to
But you never ever knew
And now you find it's harder to see the future so clearly
Will it always be?
Will it always be?
I had you back but then you ran
Like you never ever knew me.
Fall into my arms again
Like you always wanted to
You always wanted to
But you never ever knew
And my feet on your jacket
It was a wild it was a wrong, it was a long long night
And your lips are like little stings
Set me to wondering
If there's anyway and anytime
I could have, I would have tried
I had you back but then you ran
Like you never ever knew me.
Fall into my arms again
Like you always wanted to
You always wanted to
But you never ever knew
I woke up with my mind on a reason
For why it's right to be leavin'
Until we're drawn into the swarm
Of a warm white tide
And your lips are like little stings
Set me to wondering
If there's anyway and anytime
I could have, I would have tried
I had you back but then you ran
Like you never ever knew me.
Fall into my arms again
Like you always wanted to
You always wanted to
But you never ever knew
And now you find it's harder to see the future so clearly
Will it always be?
Will it always be?
I had you back but then you ran
Like you never ever knew me.
Fall into my arms again
Like you always wanted to
You always wanted to
But you never ever knew

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
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 believe these are the correct lyrics:
I woke up with my head on a bee's nest And my feet on your jacket It was a while, it was a long it was a long, long night
And your lips are like little stings Set me to wondering If there's anyway and anytime I could have, I would have tried
I had you back but then you ran Like you never ever knew me Fall into your arms again Like you always want me to You always want me to But you never ever knew
I woke up with my mind on a reason For why it's right to believe in you Until we're drawn into the swarm Of a warm, white tide
And your lips are like little stings Set me to wondering If there's anyway or anytime I could have, I would have tried
I had you back but then you ran Like you never ever knew me Fall into your arms again Like you always want me to You always want me to But you never ever knew
And now you find it's harder to see The future so clearly Will it always be, will it always be
I had you back but then you ran Like you never ever knew me Fall into your arms again Like you always want me to You always want me to Never ever really knew
