He certainly did earn that reputation.
And hey darling, I hope you're good tonight
And I know you don't feel right when I'm leaving
Yeah, I want it, but no, I don't need it
Tell me something sweet to get me by
'Cause I can't come back home 'til they're singin'
La, la la la, la la la
'Til everyone is singin'
If you can wait 'til I get home (I get home)
Then I swear to you that we can make this last
La, la
If you can wait 'til I get home (I get home)
Then I swear, come tomorrow, this will all be in our past
Well, it might be for the best
And hey sweetie, well, I need you here tonight
And I know that you don't wanna be leaving
Yeah, you want it, but I can't help it
I just feel complete when you're by my side
But I know you can't come home 'til they're singin'
La, la la la, la la la
'Til everyone is singin'
La, la la la, la la la
If you can wait 'til I get home (I get home)
Then I swear to you that we can make this last
La, la
If you can wait 'til I get home (I get home)
Then I swear, come tomorrow, this will all be in our past
Well, it might be for the best
You know you can't give me what I need
And even though you mean so much to me
I can wait through everything
Is this really happening?
I swear I'll never be happy again
And don't you dare say we can just be friends
I'm not some boy that you can sway
We knew it'd happen eventually
La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singin'
La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singin'
La, la la la, la la la (if you can wait 'til I get home)
Now everybody's singin'
La, la la la, la la la (then I swear we can make this last)
Now everybody's singin'
La, la la la, la la la
(If you can wait 'til I get home)
Now everybody's singin'
La, la la la, la la la
(Then I swear we can make this last)
Now everybody's singin', la
And I know you don't feel right when I'm leaving
Yeah, I want it, but no, I don't need it
Tell me something sweet to get me by

'Til everyone is singin'
If you can wait 'til I get home (I get home)

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.

@[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 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.
there is this boy I like .. he showed me this song once, and I didn't really understand. I knew that he loved me but he never wanted to tell his friends about it and he always felt guilty about us seeing each other and I was angry and sad, because I thought he was ashamed or just played with me, but yesterday he explained it all.. he said that one of his best friends is into me, too, which I didn't know and he told me he just felt bad about it and he cried and told me that it would break his heart to hurt his friend but he couldn't let go what we have and then I understood what he wanted to say with this song.. and I'm sorry that I almost broke everything up because I couln't wait any longer and didn't see his pain .. he just wanted me to wait 'till he worked things out and got them right and .. I don't know, I think I fell in love with him and this song means so freaking much to me right now..
