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.
i don't want to live through winter
i can't stand to see everything ending
i'll be in the meadow
i'll be taken by sunbeams, so goodbye
(chorus)
there isn't much a thing i need
a silent soul and the blood i bleed
and with a little girl, and by my spouse
who only wants a proper house
while you are away
my heart comes undone
slowly unravels
in a ball of yarn
devil collects it, with a grin
our love, in a ball of yarn
never returning, when you come back
we'll have to make new love
and carefully
(chorus) x 2
================================
oh yeah, we're having fun tonight
oh yeah, i'll hold her hand tonight
cuz when she opens her mouth
she's got the prettiest smile
no good man in her life for quite a while
but when she laughs, oh my, i see right through her pain
devoutly roman catholic but i can't even complain
stereotypical wholesome girl
consumed by her life of higher education
and social tact. definitely tact, and
here i am and she's about to fall in love with me
she's looking for a shoulder to cry on
and i'm more than willing to comply
(chorus)
tears of joy from my comfort
oh, yeah. the way i treat her right
the way i'm chivalrous
my compliments that make her blush
oh, yeah. the way i make her fawn over me.
i can't stand to see everything ending

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.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Surprisingly, I can enjoy this song. It really just has something beautiful about it.
