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.
My heart's been ripped out of my chest
There's a big, gaping hole where it used to be
Does it make you happy to see me this way?
Down and forgotten, I've lost a friend
Does it make you happy to see me this way?
You got the effect that you've been going for
You've always said that you're gonna break me
Well, haven't you succeeded in your quest?
My heart's been ripped out of my chest
It's the feature presentation, a movie in itself
Your typical A-List hollywood flick
Down and forgotten, I've lost a friend
Does it make you happy to see me this way?
You got the effect that you've been going for
You've always said that you're gonna break me
Well, haven't you succeeded in your quest?
Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm, mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm, mmm mmm mmm mmm...
(I've taken too many risks
Given you too many chances
Hoping maybe you could see it my way
But now, your intentions are clear
Bright as the light of day
I should've sensed the end was getting near
I know, sometimes it's hard
Sometimes you just can't see
But the signs were all there
Just obscured by my dreams)
I have no life
I have no one
You took my life
You could've shot me with your gun
I have no life
I have no one
You took my life
You could've shot me with your gun
Does it make you happy
Does it make you smile
You got the effect that you wanted
It just shows me how much
People are worth of trust
Ain't this exactly what you wanted?
Does it make you happy to see me this way?
You got the effect that you've been going for
You've always said that you're gonna break me
Well, haven't you succeeded in your quest?
There's a big, gaping hole where it used to be
Does it make you happy to see me this way?
Down and forgotten, I've lost a friend
Does it make you happy to see me this way?
You got the effect that you've been going for
You've always said that you're gonna break me
Well, haven't you succeeded in your quest?
My heart's been ripped out of my chest
It's the feature presentation, a movie in itself
Your typical A-List hollywood flick
Down and forgotten, I've lost a friend
Does it make you happy to see me this way?
You got the effect that you've been going for
You've always said that you're gonna break me
Well, haven't you succeeded in your quest?
Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm, mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm, mmm mmm mmm mmm...
