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.
Listen closely
I think I heard a sound
Something's creeping
Around the corner
I went snooping
I took a glance around
And careless secrets
Were all I found
Look back and what do I see
We got company
Oh no, oh how can this be?
We got company
You try to hide it from me
We got company
Oh and who could it be?
We got
Danger, danger
I stumbled in too deep
Constant questions
Won't let my mind sleep
I took you, test you
You don't know I know
Watch your step
You're tangling, tangling
Look back and what do I see
We got company
Oh no, oh how can this be?
We got company
You try to hide it from me
We got company
Oh and who could it be?
We got
All of this time
I've been living in a lie
Such a bittersweet disguise
A beautiful disguise
Yeah, look back and what do I see?
We got company
Oh no, oh how can this be?
I said, we got company
And you try to hide it from me
But I'm gonna find it
Oh and I cannot believe
We got, we got, we got company
We got company
I think I heard a sound
Something's creeping
Around the corner
I went snooping
I took a glance around
And careless secrets
Were all I found
Look back and what do I see
We got company
Oh no, oh how can this be?
We got company
You try to hide it from me
We got company
Oh and who could it be?
We got
Danger, danger
I stumbled in too deep
Constant questions
Won't let my mind sleep
I took you, test you
You don't know I know
Watch your step
You're tangling, tangling
Look back and what do I see
We got company
Oh no, oh how can this be?
We got company
You try to hide it from me
We got company
Oh and who could it be?
We got
All of this time
I've been living in a lie
Such a bittersweet disguise
A beautiful disguise
Yeah, look back and what do I see?
We got company
Oh no, oh how can this be?
I said, we got company
And you try to hide it from me
But I'm gonna find it
Oh and I cannot believe
We got, we got, we got company
We got company

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.
