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.
Your soul was born in hell's fire
Dark shade of human desire
Image of passion an fury
Wild celebration of nature
Black hair as a night without stars
Female grace with animal instinct
Must of sin an destruction
To you I will surrender
Queen, In my dreams you're always there
Symphonia, queen of the damned
Steal crowns from the kings
Do as you will
And set your tyranny
Queen, spread your disease
Lead us to sin
Show me your majesty
Cold eyes shining like diamonds
Black blood runs through your body
Sweet lover ultimate warrior
No man can keep your power
Insane melancholy princess
You'll run the world into ashes
Insane melody woman
All fear your name, Symphonia
In my dreams you're always there
Symphonia, I'll be your slave
Steal crowns from the kings
Do as you will
And set your tyranny
Queen, spread your disease
Lead us to sin
Show me your majesty
No flames, no stakes will stop your rage
Funeral pyres can't kill your pride
Let flow your power like the River Styx
You can't escape your destiny
Steal crowns from the kings
Lead us to sin
Your glory'll live eternally
Dark shade of human desire
Image of passion an fury
Wild celebration of nature
Black hair as a night without stars
Female grace with animal instinct
Must of sin an destruction
To you I will surrender
Queen, In my dreams you're always there
Symphonia, queen of the damned
Steal crowns from the kings
Do as you will
And set your tyranny
Queen, spread your disease
Lead us to sin
Show me your majesty
Cold eyes shining like diamonds
Black blood runs through your body
Sweet lover ultimate warrior
No man can keep your power
Insane melancholy princess
You'll run the world into ashes
Insane melody woman
All fear your name, Symphonia
In my dreams you're always there
Symphonia, I'll be your slave
Steal crowns from the kings
Do as you will
And set your tyranny
Queen, spread your disease
Lead us to sin
Show me your majesty
No flames, no stakes will stop your rage
Funeral pyres can't kill your pride
Let flow your power like the River Styx
You can't escape your destiny
Steal crowns from the kings
Lead us to sin
Your glory'll live eternally

Techno Ted

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
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"
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
A power melody metal song well executed.
