He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
If I could find assurance
To leave you behind
I know my better half would fade
And all my doubts
Is a staircase for you
Opened out of this maze
The first step is the one you believe in
The second one might be profound
I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm
Don't worry I'll keep you warm
I'll follow you down
While we're passing through space
I don't care if we fall from grace
I'll follow you down
You can have the money and the world
The angels and the pearls
Even trademark the color blue
Just like the tower we never built
In the shadow of all the guilt
When the other hand was pointed at you
Yeah, the first step is the one you believe in
And the second one might be profound
I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm
Don't worry I'll keep you warm
I'll follow you down while we're passing through space
I don't care if we fall from grace
I'll follow you down to where forever lies
Without a doubt, I'm on your side
There's nowhere else that I would rather be
I'm not about to compromise
Give you up to say goodbye
I'll guide you through the deep
I'll keep you close to me
I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm
Don't worry I'll keep you warm
I'll follow you down
While we're passing through space
I don't care if we fall from grace
I'll follow you
If I could find assurance
To leave you behind
I know my better half would fade
I'll follow you down
To leave you behind
I know my better half would fade
And all my doubts
Is a staircase for you
Opened out of this maze
The first step is the one you believe in
The second one might be profound
I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm
Don't worry I'll keep you warm
I'll follow you down
While we're passing through space
I don't care if we fall from grace
I'll follow you down
You can have the money and the world
The angels and the pearls
Even trademark the color blue
Just like the tower we never built
In the shadow of all the guilt
When the other hand was pointed at you
Yeah, the first step is the one you believe in
And the second one might be profound
I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm
Don't worry I'll keep you warm
I'll follow you down while we're passing through space
I don't care if we fall from grace
I'll follow you down to where forever lies
Without a doubt, I'm on your side
There's nowhere else that I would rather be
I'm not about to compromise
Give you up to say goodbye
I'll guide you through the deep
I'll keep you close to me
I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm
Don't worry I'll keep you warm
I'll follow you down
While we're passing through space
I don't care if we fall from grace
I'll follow you
If I could find assurance
To leave you behind
I know my better half would fade
I'll follow you down

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.

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.

@[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.
I absolutely love this song <3 I think it's all about true, undying and unconditional love. "I'll follow you down to the eye of the storm, don't worry I'll keep you warm." saying that they'll do anything for the other person. I think the first verse is about how they struggled but they got through it.
"Up and out of this place" instead of "Opened out on displays"
OK I KNOW THIS SONG SUPER WELL AND IM SO FUCKIN PISSED AT THE PERSON WHO POSTED THE WRONG LYRICS?! I MEAN GOD DAMN IT?!
"assurance" not "insurance"
LMAO!! I think it's awesome that you know all the correct lyrics. That was hilarious!
"I know my better half would fade" instead of "I know my better would fade"
"Even trademark the color blue" instead of "Even trade my heart for the color blue"
WT FRIG....do you have the cover jacket in front of you so you just happen to know all the words??? This is gettin' a little freaky;)
I love the band. I know every lyric to 98% of their songs. :)
So I don't have to look it up online (I'm pooped), is it a new band? Why have I never heard of the band?...other than perhaps that I am musically clueless:) I'm like that with Billy Joel songs, although he has SO many songs that the newer ones escape me...
No, their first album came out in 2002. They have four currently to date. I'm sure you have heard of "Second Chance" one time or another.
OK I KNOW THIS SONG SUPER WELL AND IM SO FUCKIN PISSED AT THE PERSON WHO POSTED THE WRONG LYRICS?! I MEAN GOD DAMN IT?!
thats exactly what im screaming!!!
I think its clear what its about but to simply put it I'd say its all about unconditional love. :)
