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.
You look like the kind of a person
who can have a conversation without
making a sound
You look like the kind of a person
instigating bad-behaving when we're
hanging around
You look like the kind of a person
who would take me to a party on the
wrong side of town
You look like the kind of a person that's down
And when I see you walking down the street
Kinda guy I'd like to meet
Won't you give it to me?
When I see you driving in your car
Looking like a fucking star
Won't you give it to me?
Rock those blue jeans baby
Rock those blue..
Make me feel like I'm brand new
Brand new
You speak, it's like everyone listens and
it's not because they want to but because
you're insane
I take on the road of submission by the old way
And when I see you walking down the street
Kinda guy I'd like to meet
Won't you give it to me?
When I see you driving in your car
Looking like a fucking star
Won't you give it to me?
Rock those blue jeans baby
Rock those blue..
Make me feel like I'm brand new
Maybe this could be right
Maybe this could be wrong
But it surely is no disappointment
Boy, I feel like my flower opened
up to the sun and the sky up above
And when I see you walking down the street
Kinda guy I'd like to meet
Won't you give it to me?
When I see you driving in your car
Looking like a fucking star
Won't you give it to me?
Rock those blue jeans baby
Rock those blue..
Make me feel like I'm...
And when I see you walking down the street
Kinda guy I'd like to meet
Won't you give it to me?
When I see you driving in your car
Looking like a fucking star
Won't you give it to me?
Rock those blue jeans baby
Rock those blue..
Make me feel like I'm brand new
Brand new
Brand new
Brand new

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
HEY! This is the song I heard on the radio but couldn't find! YES!! Now I can go find it and listen to it again. THANK YOU to whoever it was who put it up here. You made my day and possibly week
