The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
I remember, just last spring
Here inside of my memory, I sing
All around me, hollow men
Chilling at the thought of falling in
Oh my lord
Oh my lord
Take me over and under her sun
'Cause I won't be coming back
To fading stars of death kingdom
No I won't be coming back
Oh my lord, running circles with you love
It's so hard for me to think of you, Lord
Here in this dead land, full of death
My heart is beating fast with tenderness
Oh my love
oh my love
Take me over and under her sun
'Cause I won't be coming back
To fading stars of death kingdom
No I won't be coming back
Oh my love
Please come save, save me from love
Please
Come save me, save me from love
Take me over and under her sun
'Cause I won't be coming back
Here inside of my memory, I sing
All around me, hollow men
Chilling at the thought of falling in
Oh my lord
Oh my lord
Take me over and under her sun
'Cause I won't be coming back
To fading stars of death kingdom
No I won't be coming back
Oh my lord, running circles with you love
It's so hard for me to think of you, Lord
Here in this dead land, full of death
My heart is beating fast with tenderness
Oh my love
oh my love
Take me over and under her sun
'Cause I won't be coming back
To fading stars of death kingdom
No I won't be coming back
Oh my love
Please come save, save me from love
Please
Come save me, save me from love
Take me over and under her sun
'Cause I won't be coming back

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

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.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I remember reading somewhere that the song was actually his response to the poem " The Hollow Men" by T. S. Eliot after being assigned to read the poem and write about it for a class. The poem itself is associated with post WWI Europe and religion/spirituality.
