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.
It was a long way out at sea
And it seemed like it might
Be a long time before we saw him again
And he could fly, just like birds on the wind
And his hair, was the coolest hair
And every day was four or five,
days and days and days and days and days and days
And the hours felt like the rocks that they used to build the pyramids
Milo is your best friend
He's your second cousin
All roads lead to...
He's the rising son
Milo is a long long way from home, yeah
Milo is a name you won't forget
Milo I haven't met, yet
In a cave below the ground
Way down, it's cold and its dark
but he knows his way around,
and the mazes of the underground are no match for him
But he looks like a traveler that hasn't showered in a while
And been living in the ground
Milo is your best friend
He's your second cousin
All roads lead to...
He's the rising son
Milo is a long long way from home, yeah
Milo is a name you won't forget
Milo I haven't met, yet
He's a bigger than life super hero
He's the captain of the football team
He's a quantum physicist
He's a molecular biologist
He's not in it for the money
He's a nice guy
And he speaks well
And I, would do well, to be more like him
Milo is your best friend
He's your second cousin
All roads lead to...
He's the rising son
Milo is a long long way from home, yeah
Milo is a name you won't forget
Milo I haven't met, yet
And it seemed like it might
Be a long time before we saw him again
And he could fly, just like birds on the wind
And his hair, was the coolest hair
And every day was four or five,
days and days and days and days and days and days
And the hours felt like the rocks that they used to build the pyramids
Milo is your best friend
He's your second cousin
All roads lead to...
He's the rising son
Milo is a long long way from home, yeah
Milo is a name you won't forget
Milo I haven't met, yet
In a cave below the ground
Way down, it's cold and its dark
but he knows his way around,
and the mazes of the underground are no match for him
But he looks like a traveler that hasn't showered in a while
And been living in the ground
Milo is your best friend
He's your second cousin
All roads lead to...
He's the rising son
Milo is a long long way from home, yeah
Milo is a name you won't forget

He's a bigger than life super hero

Fast Car

"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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Well I saw on a live version on youtube that when his wife was pregnant she wanted to name their son-to-be Milo. Matt asked why and she replied with, "Because it's pretty." Matt didn't like the answer and they eventually decided on something else. He wrote this song after she suggested Milo.
I'm a strong believer in interpreting songs however you want to. When I first heard this song I got the idea that this guy, Milo, was that guy you know who was always the good guy in the group. Especially in the lines: "He's a nice guy And he speaks well And I, would do well, to be more like him." Just my ideas.
I think its about Christ..
@yogi.. <br /> I think so too especially "all roads lead to him" "He's the rising son"
I also saw the YouTube version and I have to say that his style of storytelling made it absolutely hilarious. I've been in love with this song for a very long time and I'm glad I finally found it to download, let alone on here. Fantastic song.
