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 cannot be, you're the mistake: calamity
Sent to destroy all of the good
On this earth, killing me
You're killing me
The mother of ruination comes to fuck all
Mutilating everything, spread wide open, beckoning
Beckoning mespiral faster down
Ripping a hole through the air we breathe
An apocalypse
Encased in a shell, so beautiful
[Chorus]
The calamity makes it's way to the inside
I know we are feeling the same thing
The calamity makes it's way to the inside
To eat away at our existence
Spewed from the wound of this life's worst cavity; the
Nightmare spreads it's cancerous lamentations, poisoning
Force-feed the plague
Drunk from the milk of death's overflowing sick tit
Nourishing the misery, gives birth to the ugliness
That grows inside
Spiral faster down
Ripping a hole through the air we breathe
An apocalypse
Encased in a shell, so beautiful
[Chorus]
Isolate
The heart from the brain
Permeate
Inject us with pain
Holding our breath now
We're screaming without sound
We're trembling as everything falls completely apart
Meteor crash down
Come crater our woe out
The banishment of everything once alive will start now
Holding our breath now
We're screaming without sound
The banishment of everything once alive will start now
You came to be, you're the mistake: calamity
Here to destroy all of the good on this earth, killing all
Killing us all
Spiral faster down
Ripping a hole through the air we breathe
An apocalypse
Encased in a shell, so beautiful
The calamity makes it's way to the inside
I know we are feeling the same thing
The calamity makes it's way to the inside
Sent to destroy all of the good
On this earth, killing me
You're killing me
The mother of ruination comes to fuck all
Mutilating everything, spread wide open, beckoning
Beckoning mespiral faster down
Ripping a hole through the air we breathe
An apocalypse
Encased in a shell, so beautiful
[Chorus]
The calamity makes it's way to the inside
I know we are feeling the same thing
The calamity makes it's way to the inside
To eat away at our existence
Spewed from the wound of this life's worst cavity; the
Nightmare spreads it's cancerous lamentations, poisoning
Force-feed the plague
Drunk from the milk of death's overflowing sick tit
Nourishing the misery, gives birth to the ugliness
That grows inside
Spiral faster down
Ripping a hole through the air we breathe
An apocalypse
Encased in a shell, so beautiful
[Chorus]
Isolate
The heart from the brain
Permeate
Inject us with pain
Holding our breath now
We're screaming without sound
We're trembling as everything falls completely apart
Meteor crash down
Come crater our woe out
The banishment of everything once alive will start now
Holding our breath now
We're screaming without sound
The banishment of everything once alive will start now
You came to be, you're the mistake: calamity
Here to destroy all of the good on this earth, killing all
Killing us all
Spiral faster down
Ripping a hole through the air we breathe
An apocalypse
Encased in a shell, so beautiful
The calamity makes it's way to the inside
I know we are feeling the same thing
The calamity makes it's way to the inside

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.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Tjwojo: I dont get what you just said....
To me this song is about doing somthing bad that we know is wrong but we just cant stop ourselves from doing it. Human beings as a whole like to do wrong just because they can.
no tjwojo is right the hole shogun album is all about greek myths and such i could also be about sleeping around but its most likly about what tjwojo said
