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.
Stand up, we'll be more than kings.
Show no mercy when the gates swing.
I've said it before but without accepting that my body
was the only thing keeping me from living.
I wouldn't even let the surgeon touch me.
Though facing death, i dined on flesh...
but now I live to fight out-numbered.
I live to fight out-numbered at the fire dawn to live in rebellious honor.
I'll stand, you'll see me over all of your fallen.
I'll be knee-deep, knee-deep in a sea of their organs.
Send me all of hell and I'll face them,
I'll face them one on one-thousand.
Stand up, we'll be more than kings.
Show no mercy when the gates swing.
Breathe deep the sea at your knees.
Breathe deep and show no mercy..
With blistering heat, the army now bursting through, blinds me
with a light not meant to empower but reigned to devour.
I'll face them one on one-thousand.
This kingdom's end is written, I'll take it one on one-thousand.
I'll stand, you'll see me over all of your fallen.
I'll be knee-deep, knee-deep in a sea of their organs.
Send me all of hell and I'll face them.
I'll face them one on one-thousand and yell,
"Is there no one else? Is there no one else left?"
Show no mercy when the gates swing.
I've said it before but without accepting that my body
was the only thing keeping me from living.
I wouldn't even let the surgeon touch me.
Though facing death, i dined on flesh...
but now I live to fight out-numbered.
I live to fight out-numbered at the fire dawn to live in rebellious honor.
I'll stand, you'll see me over all of your fallen.
I'll be knee-deep, knee-deep in a sea of their organs.
Send me all of hell and I'll face them,
I'll face them one on one-thousand.
Stand up, we'll be more than kings.
Show no mercy when the gates swing.
Breathe deep the sea at your knees.
Breathe deep and show no mercy..
With blistering heat, the army now bursting through, blinds me
with a light not meant to empower but reigned to devour.
I'll face them one on one-thousand.
This kingdom's end is written, I'll take it one on one-thousand.
I'll stand, you'll see me over all of your fallen.
I'll be knee-deep, knee-deep in a sea of their organs.
Send me all of hell and I'll face them.
I'll face them one on one-thousand and yell,
"Is there no one else? Is there no one else left?"

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
Does anyone have a idea what the big message of this song? I think it is talking about the apocalypse and defeating the devil and hell but I'm not sure because I didn't think that humans fought in that battle according to the bible
i think this song is about a guy who fears death. but life is keeping him from truly living and now the end has come and he lives and stands to fight hell as its unleashed on the earth
