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’m seeing through the wool over my eyes
Sickened by the view and how you’re so desensitized
Did your best to pretend that this was all you needed
Right up until the end
I never asked for anything but your honesty
Too many postcards only decorate your walls
I could have left them blank cause I doubt you read them anyway
I really wasn’t that naive
I just wanted to believe that something was different here
Is this what you call letting me down easy?
I think I’d rather fall on my face
If it wasn’t bad enough with all the lies and frustrated nights
Now you want to know if we’ll still be friends
I never asked for anything but your honesty
Too many postcards only decorate your walls
I could have left them blank cause I doubt you read them anyway
I really wasn’t that naive
I just wanted to believe that something was different here
By the time my foot cleared your doorstep to leave
You were making plans to drink away the idea of me
And by the time my foot cleared your doorstep to leave
You were making plans to drink away the idea of me
I never asked for anything but your honesty
I never asked for anything
Too many postcards only decorate your walls
I could have left them blank cause I doubt you read them anyway
I really wasn’t that naive
I just wanted to believe that something was different here
Too many postcards only decorate your walls
(Something was different)
I could have left them blank cause I doubt you read them anyway
(Something was different)
I really wasn’t that naive
(Something was different)
I just wanted to believe that something was different here
(Different here)
Sickened by the view and how you’re so desensitized
Did your best to pretend that this was all you needed
Right up until the end
I never asked for anything but your honesty
Too many postcards only decorate your walls
I could have left them blank cause I doubt you read them anyway
I really wasn’t that naive
I just wanted to believe that something was different here
Is this what you call letting me down easy?
I think I’d rather fall on my face
If it wasn’t bad enough with all the lies and frustrated nights
Now you want to know if we’ll still be friends
I never asked for anything but your honesty
Too many postcards only decorate your walls
I could have left them blank cause I doubt you read them anyway
I really wasn’t that naive
I just wanted to believe that something was different here
By the time my foot cleared your doorstep to leave
You were making plans to drink away the idea of me
And by the time my foot cleared your doorstep to leave
You were making plans to drink away the idea of me
I never asked for anything but your honesty
I never asked for anything
Too many postcards only decorate your walls
I could have left them blank cause I doubt you read them anyway
I really wasn’t that naive
I just wanted to believe that something was different here
Too many postcards only decorate your walls
(Something was different)
I could have left them blank cause I doubt you read them anyway
(Something was different)
I really wasn’t that naive
(Something was different)
I just wanted to believe that something was different here
(Different here)

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"

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
