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'm rolling down a, lonely highway asking god
To please forgive me for messing up the blessing he gave to me I see,
Everything clearer now the nights as black as, black as its ever been
With out my girl I'ma lose it and I pray that he just sheds his grace on me, I need
(Just to be back with my baby) It feels like I've just walked right out of heaven,
It feels like I've damn near thrown my life away
I'm scared just like a child that's lost at seven
Don't know what to do, to get back right with you
It feels like I've just walked right out of heaven
It feels like I've damn near to throw my life away
Like a child that's lost at seven
Don't know what to do
It feels like I just walked, right out of heaven
See my mama told me that's if it's meant to be she'll come back
And she'll forgive me and the best thing I can do it to just
Let her, let her go, I know, I don't want to do it
But if I continue to push she'll just pull away
And I know that in my heart it's a reality
I didn't treat her like she wanted to be treated
(And I hope that she's not gone for good no no no) It feels like I've just walked right out of heaven,
It feels like I've damn near thrown my life away
I'm scared just like a child that's lost at seven
Don't know what to do, to get back right with you
It feels like I've just walked right out of heaven
It feels like I've damn near to throw my life away
Like a child that's lost at seven
Don't know what to do
It feels like I just walked, right out of heaven
Hey girl waiting for you all the time,
Supposed to move on with my life, and girl I tried, and I tried
I feel like I can't walk, I feel like I can't talk girl I don't know
What to do get back right with you I feel like I just walked outta heaven baby
If you ever loved somebody, and if you ever had somebody
But you know that you hurt that somebody
Let me hear you say yea
(It feels like I've just walked right out of heaven) It feels like I've just walked right out of heaven
It feels like I've damn near thrown my life away
I'm scared just like a child that's lost at seven
Don't know what to do, to get back right with you
It feels like I've just walked right out of heaven
It feels like I've damn near to throw my life away
Like a child that's lost at seven
Don't know what to do
It feels like I just walked
It feels like I've just walked right out of heaven
It feels like I've damn near thrown my life away
I'm scared just like a child that's lost at seven

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Holiday

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
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/
These guys are always in pain. These guys need to get together and figure out how to quit cheating on their chicks. just kidding. good song. self explanatory
