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.
Now when I first met her
I was down in the dumps
'Cause my pumps and a bump
Jumped town with some chump named Willy Lump Lump
Feelin' sad and mad hurt
That's when this fly honey walked up to me
In a brown leather skirt
She sat on my lap
She said, "I heard that you rap
Well, I got some primetime skins that you need to tap"
I never met a girl so upfront with it
So I took her to crib, sparked a blunt with it
Hit it, it was the bomb
(Yo, the dope blew my mind)
(Had a nigga floatin' on cloud sixty-nine)
But all of a sudden, she starts flippin' the script
Talkin' about "what have you done for me lately?"
Like she hate me
It wasn't no romance without the ends
She had me robbin' and stealin' and illin'
Just to hit the skins, I was open
You could drive a bus up my nose
My friends tell me I shouldn't mess with these type of hoes
Lady Heroin, you know your hits all that
Yo, it's the bomb, baby
You got me hooked like crack
Got me bendin' over backwards just to tap that cat
I used to be like the mack, now I don't know how to act
The pussy was the bomb, had a nigga on sprung, I was
Shootin' up "that's that shit" in my bloodstream
The pussy was the bomb, had a nigga on sprung, I was
Shootin' up "that's that shit" in my bloodstream
Even though I'm a fiend, I can't break clean
'Cause everything's so serene when she's on the scene
And can't nobody tell me 'bout my boo
I even wore her tattoo, track marks on my arm, black and blue
But she didn't feel the same for me (word?)
She had a jealous boyfriend by the name of O.D.
Now OD was short for overdose
And whenever he caught niggas pushin' up on his girl
He made 'em comatose
Lady Heroin had me thinkin' I could go toe to toe with O.D.
But he showed me, damn, my niggas told me (told you what?)
Not to mess around, but I had to clown
And now they diggin' me a six-foot ditch in the ground (see ya)
So take it from me, yo, the negro with a tag on his toe
I'm tellin' ya not get with that ho
The most scandalous female once you're under her spell
She dwells in your blood cells and sends you on the highway to hell
Lady Heroin, you know your hits all that
Yo, it's the bomb, baby
You got me hooked like crack
Got me bendin' over backwards just to tap that cat
I used to be like the mack, now I don't know how to act
The pussy was the bomb, had a nigga on sprung, I was
Shootin' up "that's that shit" in my bloodstream
The pussy was the bomb, had a nigga on sprung, I was
Shootin' up "that's that shit" in my bloodstream
I'm off in your bloodstream, snatching your CREAM
Can't get enough of me, it seems ya fiend to the extreme
A nightmare but not a dream, realer than real estate
Once I penetrate your mind state, you'll never get ya scrilla straight
I'm on a mission to invade your soul
Open up your veins and let me take control
I put it on ya, never had a love like this
Make you steal and kill for me, baby, with just one kiss
I could sentence you to die
In the blink of an eye, of a needle
I feed you evil on the sly
My supply nonstop, skin pop until you drop
Blood clots drippin' out your snot-box
I got your brain locked
House lady of the hot spot, black widow
Sink my teeth in 'em, inject 'em with that China White venom
Then I'm off in 'em, swimmin' in that bloodstream, gotcha
Now you a fiend for Lady Heroin
Lady Heroin, you know your hits all that
Yo, it's the bomb, baby
You got me hooked like crack
Got me bendin' over backwards just to tap that cat
I used to be like the mack, now I don't know how to act
The pussy was the bomb, had a nigga on sprung, I was
Shootin' up "that's that shit" in my bloodstream
The pussy was the bomb, had a nigga on sprung, I was
Shootin' up "that's that shit" in my bloodstream
Lady Heroin, you know your hits all that
Yo, it's the bomb, baby
You got me hooked like crack
Got me bendin' over backwards just to tap that cat
I used to be like the mack, now I don't know how to act
The pussy was the bomb, had a nigga on sprung, I was
Shootin' up "that's that shit" in my bloodstream

Shootin' up "that's that shit" in my bloodstream

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
