Rétines et pupilles
Les garçons ont les yeux qui brillent
Pour un jeu de dupes
Voir sous les jupes des filles

Et la vie toute entière
Absorbés par cette affaire
Par ce jeu de dupes
Voir sous les jupes des filles

Elles, très fières
Sur leurs escabeaux en l'air
Regard méprisant et laissant le vent tout faire

Elles, dans l'suave
La faiblesse des hommes, elles savent
Que la seule chose qui tourne sur terre
C'est leurs robes légères

On en fait beaucoup
Se pencher, tordre son cou
Pour voir l'infortune
À quoi nos vies se résument

Pour voir tout l'orgueil
Toutes les guerres avec les deuils
La mort, la beauté
Les chansons d'été
Les rêves

Si parfois
Ça les gène et qu'elles veulent pas
Qu'on r'garde leurs guibolles
Les garçons s'affolent de ça

Alors faut qu'ça tombe
Les hommes ou bien les palombes
Les bières les Khmers rouges
Le moindre chevreuil qui bouge

Fanfare bleu, blanc rage
Verre de rouge, et vert de rage
L'honneur des milices
Tu seras un homme, mon fils

Elles, pas fières
Sur leurs escabeaux en l'air
Regard implorant
Et ne comprenant pas tout

Elles, dans l'grave
La faiblesse des hommes, elles savent
Que la seule chose qui tourne sur cette terre
C'est leurs robes légères

Rétines et pupilles
Les garçons ont les yeux qui brillent
Pour un jeu de dupes
Voir sous les jupes des filles

Et la vie toute entière (toute entière)
Absorbés par cette affaire
Par ce jeu de dupes
Voir sous les jupes des filles

La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la

Step
Ministry
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.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Blue
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.

Amazing
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.
