Hey son I'm looking forwards
You're aiming backwards
Of this I'm sure

Have you had enough
Are you feeling rough
Does your skull hurt
Well if it's war

I am taking back what's mine
I am taking back the time
You may call it suicide
But I'm being born again

I'm waiting, I'm waiting,
I'm waiting for someone or something
To take me to take me over

Days the days are forgotten
Now it's all over, you've simply forgotten
How to disappear

Hombre, I got blood lust
Feeding you bread crust
I leave no scar

You say I'm old hat
A fucking dirty rat
Call me a cliché
How right you are

I am with the vagabonds
I am righting all your wrongs
You may call it suicide
But I'm being born again

I'm waiting, I'm waiting,
I'm waiting for someone or something
To take me to take me over

Days the days are forgotten
Now it's all over, you've simply forgotten
How to disappear

I saw something out there in the darkest star
You were sat at home chewing on monkey brain

I am not here I'm just a silhouette
You will never ever ever forget

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.

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.
