its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
I guess I'll hang around a little while, while you here
No, I don't feel like being somewhere else
I guess I wouldn't mind to fall in love a little bit
Ouch, I think I fell a little more
Hanging on to nothing
I wouldn't change a thing
Stay where you are now
Oh no I've said too much
Got both feet in
My dear you fear too much
I'm just a little bit love ridden
I'm falling in to you
I'm just another tourist making stops, but it's clear
No, I'll never leave without you
Tell another story of love and loss and fear
No, we have another night to kill
Hanging on to nothing
I'd do it all again
Stay where you are now
Oh no I've said too much
Got both feet in
My dear you fear too much
I'm just a little bit love ridden
I'm falling in to you
Crash through clouds and then we'll know
Don't look back I want you so
Love ridden
I'm falling in to
Love ridden
I'm falling in to you
Oh no I've said too much
Got both feet in
My dear you fear too much
Just keep breathing
Oh no I've said too much
Got both feet in
I hope it's not too much
I'm just a little bit love ridden
I'm falling in to you
No, I don't feel like being somewhere else
I guess I wouldn't mind to fall in love a little bit
Ouch, I think I fell a little more
Hanging on to nothing
I wouldn't change a thing
Stay where you are now
Oh no I've said too much
Got both feet in
My dear you fear too much
I'm just a little bit love ridden
I'm falling in to you
I'm just another tourist making stops, but it's clear
No, I'll never leave without you
Tell another story of love and loss and fear
No, we have another night to kill
Hanging on to nothing
I'd do it all again
Stay where you are now
Oh no I've said too much
Got both feet in
My dear you fear too much
I'm just a little bit love ridden
I'm falling in to you
Crash through clouds and then we'll know
Don't look back I want you so
Love ridden
I'm falling in to
Love ridden
I'm falling in to you
Oh no I've said too much
Got both feet in
My dear you fear too much
Just keep breathing
Oh no I've said too much
Got both feet in
I hope it's not too much
I'm just a little bit love ridden
I'm falling in to you

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 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.
for me the song is about unplanned love that you just stumbled upon randomly. Just like that one stranger at the airport you locked eyes for a mere 10 seconds but it stays within your head throughout the whole 18 hrs flight. “I guess I'll hang around a little while” was like the feeling of it’s already time to go or bid a farewell to someone you close with but your heart wanted to stay around a little longer just because you feel a sense of belonging, a sense of being home whenever around them. This song encapsulates perfectly how was it like to fall in love with someone. The hesitation. The temerity. The uncertainty.
