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.
You won't believe what I tell you,
White coats and clever minds will choose
You get a lot from this
Loose tongue and arrogance
It's not appropriate
Don't think that this is it
Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off
A longer sentence brings no more
Than one that I had said before
It's hard to compromise
When I see through your eyes
It's just a common view
I guess it's lost on you
Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off
Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off
Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off
Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off
White coats and clever minds will choose
You get a lot from this
Loose tongue and arrogance
It's not appropriate
Don't think that this is it
Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off
A longer sentence brings no more
Than one that I had said before
It's hard to compromise
When I see through your eyes
It's just a common view
I guess it's lost on you
Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off
Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off
Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off
Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off

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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.
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.
okay so i never even thought about tambellina's theory and i didnt exactly think it was about a girl either. its more of a combination of both? lol i thought it more about the whole cheating aspect of relationships.
that the "I" in the song thinks that his girlfriend is cheating on him but everyone thinks he is just being crazy, everyone ignores him and brushes it off (loose tongues and arrogence), and the "them" being the "white coats and clever minds". They all think that they are so smart in thinking that the girl is innocent (arrogance) when in reality she really is guilty.
and the chorus is more of the character finally getting the guts enough to legitamitely speak up about his worries and getting the courage and balls enough to call her on shit (Now I can talk, no one gets off)
The second verse is about how they are still refusing to believe him (a longer sentence brings no more than one that i had said before). And so because of this, he really is starting to consider that it is just him being paranoid but whenever he looks at her he just sees right through her and sees the truth, even though he tries to look past it (It's hard to compromise When I see through your eyes. It's just a common view)
so then he gives up on the relationship altogether. her loss (I guess it's lost on you)
just a thought :]
