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.
Don't be alarmed at that the things that I've said, they're only the truth, love.
I know that your anxious to lay this to bed, your always the scared one.
The air has been rushing hard up against the walls and the windows.
I'll welcome the cool breeze to let itself in and con you to keep close.
It�s not the same when your eyes are sinking,
don't be afraid of what I've been thinking.
I know it seems that we're moving to fast,
but don't be afraid of what I've been thinking.
There�s so many people here in-between, their constantly moving.
And sneaking around them, tears at the seams of what we've been doing.
There�s too many questions, try to let go, there�s no harm in hurting.
The crowd that surrounds you, and darling I know, it's what their deserving.
It�s not the same when your eyes are sinking,
don't be afraid of what I've been thinking.
I know it seems that we're moving to fast,
but don't be afraid of what I've been thinking.
Baby you've got faith in a smile; I think others would kill for.
Baby you've got faith in a smile; I think others would kill for.
It�s not the same when your eyes are sinking,
don't be afraid of what I've been thinking.
I know it seems that we're moving to fast,
but don't be afraid of what I've been thinking.
Don't be afraid of what I've been thinking.
Don't be afraid of what I've been thinking.
I know that your anxious to lay this to bed, your always the scared one.
The air has been rushing hard up against the walls and the windows.
I'll welcome the cool breeze to let itself in and con you to keep close.
It�s not the same when your eyes are sinking,
don't be afraid of what I've been thinking.
I know it seems that we're moving to fast,
but don't be afraid of what I've been thinking.
There�s so many people here in-between, their constantly moving.
And sneaking around them, tears at the seams of what we've been doing.
There�s too many questions, try to let go, there�s no harm in hurting.
The crowd that surrounds you, and darling I know, it's what their deserving.
It�s not the same when your eyes are sinking,
don't be afraid of what I've been thinking.
I know it seems that we're moving to fast,
but don't be afraid of what I've been thinking.
Baby you've got faith in a smile; I think others would kill for.
Baby you've got faith in a smile; I think others would kill for.
It�s not the same when your eyes are sinking,
don't be afraid of what I've been thinking.
I know it seems that we're moving to fast,
but don't be afraid of what I've been thinking.
Don't be afraid of what I've been thinking.
Don't be afraid of what I've been thinking.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Punchline

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.
