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.
I can't believe you had the nerve to say the things you said
It hurt so bad that they ended our relationship
I can't believe it
Four years go down the drain
How I wish things would have happened so differently
I tried to say this many times but still you couldn't see
You kept insisting and resisting
That you would not fall again
And now you're trying to tell me that you're sorry
And you're trying to come back home
You're telling me you really need me
Crying begging both knees on the floor
But baby, I
Don't want to try
Don't want to try
Don't want to try no more
You keep insisting
When you know our love is out the door
Don't want to try
Don't want to try cause all we do is fight
And say the things that we want to hold back?
To where we both begin to cry
Don't want to try
Don't want to try about your sadden love
It's been a rough road
Baby just let it go
Don't want to try
Don't want to try
Don't want to try no more
Tell me what's the use of holding on
When all we do is hurt our love
You've died? in many conversations on the telephone
Talks about one day of having a place of our own
Wake up in the morning and have breakfast ready on the table
But all of that seems so far away from me
Had to wake up face reality
It all just seemed to good to be true
After all you put me through
And now you're trying to tell me that you're sorry
And you're trying to come back home
You're telling me you really need me
Crying begging both knees on the floor
But baby, I
Don't want to try
Don't want to try
Don't want to try no more
You keep insisting
When you know our love is out the door
Don't want to try
Don't want to try cause all we do is fight
And say the things that we want to hold back?
To where we both begin to cry.
Don't want to try
Don't want to try about your sadden love
It's been a rough road
Baby just let it go
Don't want to try
Don't want to try
Don't want to try no more
Tell me what's the use of holding on
When all we do is hurt our love
It hurt so bad that they ended our relationship
I can't believe it
Four years go down the drain
How I wish things would have happened so differently
I tried to say this many times but still you couldn't see
You kept insisting and resisting
That you would not fall again
And now you're trying to tell me that you're sorry
And you're trying to come back home
You're telling me you really need me
Crying begging both knees on the floor
But baby, I
Don't want to try
Don't want to try
Don't want to try no more
You keep insisting
When you know our love is out the door
Don't want to try
Don't want to try cause all we do is fight
And say the things that we want to hold back?
To where we both begin to cry
Don't want to try
Don't want to try about your sadden love
It's been a rough road
Baby just let it go
Don't want to try
Don't want to try
Don't want to try no more
Tell me what's the use of holding on

Don't want to try

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
