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.
So tell me this,
Where you come from is there life
above unknown with more intelligence?
I'm searching now.
Will I find you?
Will you come to me alone?
Not in this universe.
So tell me.
Was this what was meant for us to do now?
Built for you, and from the moon down
A distance
One would never know the truth until now
Three for one for all to see now
The last abyss
Everything you're searching for
will close the door from the points below
The voices come
To me they say,
A new arrival soon will be in the night 08
So tell me.
Was this what was meant for us to do now?
Built for you, and from the moon down
A distance
One would never know the truth until now
Three for one for all to see now
I'm not alone to the unknown stars above
You're not alone to believe in what you love
They're not alone seeing what we have become
You're not alone now
We're not alone now
I'm not alone to the unknown stars above
You're not alone to believe in what you love
They're not alone seeing what we have become
You're not alone now
We're not alone now
So tell me.
Was this what was meant for us to do now?
Built for you, and from the moon down
A distance
One would never know the truth until now
Three for one for all to see now
Was this what was meant for us to do now?
Built for you, and from the moon down
Where you come from is there life
above unknown with more intelligence?
I'm searching now.
Will I find you?
Will you come to me alone?
Not in this universe.
So tell me.
Was this what was meant for us to do now?

Techno Ted

Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
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.
