its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
It's so sad for us
When we find ourselves
Giving away
And it's a shame for us
When we find ourselves
Going to waste
So throw away the love that we made.
(I know I know)
And nothing's going to change that hopeless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't
There's no reason to be here
We should pack up and leave
I have never felt that way before totally alone
There's no reason to leave
I have never seen you act that way before
Totally exposed.
As you throw away the love that we made
(I know I know)
And nothing's going to change that hopeless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't
The longer it takes the more it goes to waste
I want to believe you but I can't feel a thing
The more that you get the less you are
And nothing's going to change that helpless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't
When we find ourselves
Giving away
And it's a shame for us
When we find ourselves
Going to waste
So throw away the love that we made.
(I know I know)
And nothing's going to change that hopeless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't
There's no reason to be here
We should pack up and leave
I have never felt that way before totally alone
There's no reason to leave
I have never seen you act that way before
Totally exposed.
As you throw away the love that we made
(I know I know)
And nothing's going to change that hopeless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't
The longer it takes the more it goes to waste
I want to believe you but I can't feel a thing
The more that you get the less you are
And nothing's going to change that helpless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.

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.
"and nothing's going to change that hopeless feeling I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't" BEA-utiful! circa = best band
