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.
What did I do to deserve this?
Tell me the truth and don't lie
You're pretty good at that but, no not this time
You walk around like you run the world,
Running your mouth, and talking about me now,
They think that you're the perfect girl,
The're gonna see everything so get back
[Chrous:]
It's gonna come back around
You know that this town is just too small and not too tall to take this again
You're just to adverse but I got news
You know you're just gonna lose
Everything and everyone that means so much to you.
I'm feeling bad for,
You are alone and nobody cares that you are
One look into your eyes,
Easy to see what you could be but you're not
I say it's time that you give in,
Since it was real, you cannot fulfill, your over
You feel your heart beat deep down
You're in the shame of causing this pain,
Just get out
[Chorus:]
It's gonna come back around
You know that this town is just too small and not too tall take this again
You're just to adverse, but I've got news
You know youre just gonna lose
Everything and everyone that means so much to you.
You keep hearing everything that people say
And you can't take the pain another day
It's coming back around
I told you this town was just small
[End chorus:]
You're just to adverse but you can stop now
It's gonna come back around
And around and around and around and around
Yeah yeah
It's gonna come back around
You know that this town is just too small and not too tall (Too tall)
To take this, take this again [Whoa]
You dress to impress but I've got news
You know you're just gonna lose
Everything and everyone that means so much to you
Everything and everyone that means so much to you
Everything and everyone that means so much to you.
Tell me the truth and don't lie
You're pretty good at that but, no not this time
You walk around like you run the world,
Running your mouth, and talking about me now,
They think that you're the perfect girl,
The're gonna see everything so get back
[Chrous:]
It's gonna come back around
You know that this town is just too small and not too tall to take this again
You're just to adverse but I got news
You know you're just gonna lose
Everything and everyone that means so much to you.
I'm feeling bad for,
You are alone and nobody cares that you are
One look into your eyes,
Easy to see what you could be but you're not
I say it's time that you give in,
Since it was real, you cannot fulfill, your over
You feel your heart beat deep down
You're in the shame of causing this pain,
Just get out
[Chorus:]
It's gonna come back around
You know that this town is just too small and not too tall take this again
You're just to adverse, but I've got news
You know youre just gonna lose
Everything and everyone that means so much to you.
You keep hearing everything that people say
And you can't take the pain another day
It's coming back around
I told you this town was just small
[End chorus:]
You're just to adverse but you can stop now
It's gonna come back around
And around and around and around and around
Yeah yeah
It's gonna come back around
You know that this town is just too small and not too tall (Too tall)
To take this, take this again [Whoa]
You dress to impress but I've got news
You know you're just gonna lose
Everything and everyone that means so much to you
Everything and everyone that means so much to you
Everything and everyone that means so much to you.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
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.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
I feel this song is about her days being bullied, and if people took a step back and looked at there actions then they would see the damage it will cause to someone now or later in life. It can also damage there life later, as thats what they have grown up doing and if they keep on that path then there life will turn out bad. As in KARMA.
