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.
Am I going insane? (Insane)
My blood is boiling inside of my veins
An evil feeling attacks (attacks)
My body shaking there's no turning back
So take your eyes off the trigger
I'm not to blame if your world turns to black
As your eyes start to blister
There's just no hope for our final embrace
So here we are, I'm in your head
I'm in your heart
You were told to to run away
Soak the place and light the flame
Pay the price for your betrayal
Your betrayal, your betrayal
I was told to stay away
Those two words I can't obey
Pay the price for your betrayal
Your betrayal, your betrayal
Is it my turn to die?
My heart is pounding as I say goodbye
So now I dance in the flames
I love you crying and screaming my name
You said that we'd be forever
How could you kill me and lie to my face
Now that we can't be together
There's just no hope for our final embrace
So here we are, I'm in your head
I'm in your heart
You were told to run away
Soak the place and light the flame
Pay the price for your betrayal
Your betrayal, your betrayal
I was told to stay away
Those two words I can't obey
Pay the price for your betrayal
Your betrayal, your betrayal
Go
So here we are (so here we are, I'm in your head)
(I'm in your head)
I'm in your heart
You were told to to run away
Soak the place and light the flame
Pay the price for your betrayal
Your betrayal, your betrayal
I was told to stay away
Those two words I can't obey
Pay the price for your betrayal
Your betrayal
My blood is boiling inside of my veins
An evil feeling attacks (attacks)
My body shaking there's no turning back
So take your eyes off the trigger
I'm not to blame if your world turns to black
As your eyes start to blister
There's just no hope for our final embrace
So here we are, I'm in your head
I'm in your heart
You were told to to run away
Soak the place and light the flame
Pay the price for your betrayal
Your betrayal, your betrayal
I was told to stay away
Those two words I can't obey
Pay the price for your betrayal
Your betrayal, your betrayal
Is it my turn to die?
My heart is pounding as I say goodbye
So now I dance in the flames
I love you crying and screaming my name
You said that we'd be forever
How could you kill me and lie to my face
Now that we can't be together
There's just no hope for our final embrace
So here we are, I'm in your head
I'm in your heart
You were told to run away
Soak the place and light the flame
Pay the price for your betrayal
Your betrayal, your betrayal
I was told to stay away
Those two words I can't obey
Pay the price for your betrayal
Your betrayal, your betrayal
Go
So here we are (so here we are, I'm in your head)
(I'm in your head)
I'm in your heart
You were told to to run away
Soak the place and light the flame
Pay the price for your betrayal
Your betrayal, your betrayal
I was told to stay away
Those two words I can't obey
Pay the price for your betrayal
Your betrayal

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”
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
the drums at the begining sounds exactly the same as in blinded in chains by a7x.
u gotta love bfmv, awsome song, fukin imense!
pretty self explanatory. Cant wait for the new album!
This song is really the poster child you could say for Bullet for My Valentine. One of my favorite bands. They are always original and are pure emotion and metal. Anyways this song like TG127 says is pretty self explanatory. I think that many people go through what this song is about. He is basically saying that while he loves this someone he won't put his own world in jeopardy. He also is extremely hurt because he was lied to. He is also saying that he is pissed and won't deal with all the bs that this person is putting him through. He wants revenge as well. "You were told to stay away".
NEW CD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEAH! THEYRE COMING TO MICHIGAN IN MAY!
Actually, this song sounds a lot more stalker-ish than you people may realise. "I was told to stay away" sounds like an AVO may have been taken out as he/she could have been too possessive over him/her. It sounds like her/his betrayal was more leaving him/her than anything else.
probably about some chick that listened to someone else about the relationship she was in and left the dude for someone else and they guy feels betrayed b/c she said they had something.
I think this song has the same kind of message as the song Black Dahlia by Hollywood Undead. He feels extremely hurt because he was cheated on. He still loves this girl but he just doesn't want anything to do with her, even though she says she is sorry. "I left you, crying and screaming my name" (My interpretation of that lyric in the song...maybe he does say I love you. Either way you get that he still has feelings for this woman he just can't get over them because he was lied to so many times). Another part I feel gives away the fact he was cheated on is the line "You said that we'd be forever...How could you kill me and lie to my face?" My thoughts on this song...I love this song though. Very strong and powerful :)
The beginning of this song is siiiiick as fuck! Bullet never disappoints!
