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.
Love, it's true that when it comes to you
I've tried to keep my two feet on the ground
My, it's strange how quickly life can change
You've got my nights and days all turned around
Waited for it, sweet surrender
Waited for it, endless charm
Waited for it, every moment spent in your arms
Sends me right back into the feeling
When the world melts under your touch
And you toss my heart through the ceiling
No reason not to fall in love
Love I've lost, came at so high a cost
Thought I'll be better off just on my own
Then we kissed and all the fun I'd missed
Felt like a thousand ships turning for home
Waited for it, I'd almost given up
Waited for it, believing you would come
Waited for it, every time I think I should run
You take me right back into the feeling
Where the world melts under your touch
When you toss my heart through the ceiling
No reason not to fall in love
I try to think about the consequences
Second guessing with a backward glance
But my brain doesn't stand a chance
Chained to the crazy dreams my heart has
You send me right back into the feeling
Where the world melts under your touch
And you toss my heart through the ceiling
No reason not to fall in love
You send me right back into the feeling
Where the world melts under your touch
And you toss my heart through the ceiling
No reason not to fall in love
I've tried to keep my two feet on the ground
My, it's strange how quickly life can change
You've got my nights and days all turned around
Waited for it, sweet surrender
Waited for it, endless charm
Waited for it, every moment spent in your arms
Sends me right back into the feeling
When the world melts under your touch
And you toss my heart through the ceiling
No reason not to fall in love
Love I've lost, came at so high a cost
Thought I'll be better off just on my own
Then we kissed and all the fun I'd missed
Felt like a thousand ships turning for home
Waited for it, I'd almost given up
Waited for it, believing you would come
Waited for it, every time I think I should run
You take me right back into the feeling
Where the world melts under your touch
When you toss my heart through the ceiling
No reason not to fall in love
I try to think about the consequences
Second guessing with a backward glance
But my brain doesn't stand a chance
Chained to the crazy dreams my heart has
You send me right back into the feeling
Where the world melts under your touch
And you toss my heart through the ceiling
No reason not to fall in love
You send me right back into the feeling
Where the world melts under your touch
And you toss my heart through the ceiling
No reason not to fall in love

Fast Car

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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.
