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.
Why don't you and me take a trip and go back to my crib
I'd like to lay ya down, I'd really like to lay ya down
Here we are, alone in my car and I can feel your temperature rising
You want me, I want you too and I can see it in your eyes babe
You ready to hit the backseat of my jeep right now
If the mood ain't right, my jeep is tight, I gotta better place to lay
ya down
Why don't you and me take a chance and get back to my crib
I wanna lay ya down, I really wanna lay ya down
Why don't you and me take a chance and get back to my crib
I wanna lay ya down, I really wanna lay ya down
I said baby, before we lay everything's gotta be just right
Cuz tonight is the night I've been waitin' for, you and me are about to
take flight
I don't want no distraction's cuz once we get into it
I wanna be alone, getting it on all night long
Why don't you and me take a chance and get back to my crib
I wanna lay ya down, I really wanna lay ya down
Why don't you and me take a chance and get back to my crib
I wanna lay ya down, I really wanna lay ya down
Baby, come this way no longer will I make you wait
I can feel your pressure rising in and you're my love
I've been waiting for your love
I can hardly wait, I can hardly wait to lay you down
Why don't you wait, kid, let the freak show begin, let the freak show
begin
Let the freak show begin
What chu waitin for, let the freak show begin, let the freak show begin,
let the freak show begin
What chu waitin for, let the freak show begin, let the freak show begin,

What chu waitin for, let the freak show begin, let the freak show begin,

Her destination
It's my second destination after the lights go out
I'll kindly get you up and take you to my playground and let cha see
My destination
It's my second destination after the lights go out
I'm gonna make you wish that every day you live that you could be in
your life with me
Why don't you and me take a chance and get back to my crib
I wanna lay ya down, I really wanna lay ya down
Why don't you and me take a chance and get back to my crib
I wanna lay ya down, I really wanna lay ya down
Why don't you and me take a chance and get back to my crib

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
