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.
Oh oh oh
In the heart
Of the night
When it's dark
In the lights
I heard the loudest noise
A gunshot on the floor
Oh oh
I looked down
And my shirt's turning red
I'm spinning around
Felt her lips on my neck
And her voice
In my ear
Like I missed you
Want you tonight
Straight through my heart
A single bullet got me
I can't stop the bleeding
Oh oh
Straight through my heart
She aimed and she shot me
I just can't believe it
Oh oh
No I can't resist
And I can't be hit
I just can't escape this love
Straight through my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
Thought I moved
More than on
Thought I could
Fool her charm
I really wanna go
But I can't leave her alone
Oh oh
Hear the sound
Of a love so loud
I just can't
I just can't
Ignore this feeling
Said she missed me
And she wants me
Wants me tonight
Straight through my heart
A single bullet got me
I can't stop the bleeding
Oh oh
Straight through my heart
She aimed and she shot me
I just can't believe it
Oh oh
No I can't resist
And I can't be hit
I just can't escape this love
Straight through my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
In the heart
Of the night
When it's dark
In the lights
I heard the loudest voice
A gunshot on the floor
Oh oh
Straight through my heart
A single bullet got me
I can't stop the bleeding
Oh oh
Straight through my heart
She aimed and she shot me
I just can't believe it
Oh oh
No I can't resist
And I can't be hit
I just can't escape this love
Straight through my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
Straight through my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
My heart, my heart, my heart
Straight through my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
Oh oh
In the heart
Of the night
When it's dark
In the lights
I heard the loudest noise
A gunshot on the floor
Oh oh
I looked down
And my shirt's turning red
I'm spinning around
Felt her lips on my neck
And her voice
In my ear
Like I missed you
Want you tonight
Straight through my heart
A single bullet got me
I can't stop the bleeding
Oh oh
Straight through my heart
She aimed and she shot me
I just can't believe it
Oh oh
No I can't resist
And I can't be hit
I just can't escape this love
Straight through my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
Thought I moved
More than on
Thought I could
Fool her charm
I really wanna go
But I can't leave her alone
Oh oh
Hear the sound
Of a love so loud
I just can't
I just can't
Ignore this feeling
Said she missed me
And she wants me
Wants me tonight
Straight through my heart
A single bullet got me
I can't stop the bleeding
Oh oh
Straight through my heart
She aimed and she shot me
I just can't believe it
Oh oh
No I can't resist
And I can't be hit
I just can't escape this love
Straight through my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
(Soldier down) my heart

(Soldier down) my heart
Straight through my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
My heart, my heart, my heart
Straight through my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
(Soldier down) my heart
Oh oh

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
