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.
Where are you now
Lie awake and wonder where you are tonight
How will I know
Search for a trace, I look around but you're out of sight
Where did you go
Thought your love for me was strong
Was I the only one
I don't know where we went wrong
Why did you leave me
Why did you have to go
I had a dream last night
A dream about you and me
Love should last forever baby
Where are you now
Contemplate the promise you made you'd be my friend
Until the end
My heart aches, I'm in a daze, live in no-man's land
Where do I stand
Thought your love for me was strong
Was I the only one
I don't know where we went wrong
Why did you leave me
Why did you have to go
I had a dream last night
A dream about you and me
Love should last forever baby
Where are you now
Lie awake and wonder where you are tonight
How will I know
Search for a trace, I look around but you're out of sight
Where did you go
Thought your love for me was strong
Was I the only one
I don't know where we went wrong
Why did you leave me
Why did you have to go
I had a dream last night
A dream about you and me
Love should last forever baby
Where are you now
Contemplate the promise you made you'd be my friend
Until the end
My heart aches, I'm in a daze, live in no-man's land
Where do I stand
Thought your love for me was strong
Was I the only one
I don't know where we went wrong
Why did you leave me
Why did you have to go
I had a dream last night
A dream about you and me
Love should last forever baby
Where are you now

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
