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.
First let me say I’m sorry
In case I go too far
But I don’t foresee a problem
For the fact that here you are!
And here I am, here’s my disclaimer
If you decide to stay
I swear you won’t regret this moment
But first I need you to obey
Embrace scripts, lay it down, lose those jeans
Show your heart and put me ?
I can be your ?
But first obey!
Oh, oh, oh
If only for one moment
Accept me as your king
In return my tongue will love you
My hand will neck those screams
Tap me once if it’s too much pressure
Tap twice if you need to breath
Don’t play tough if you’re not ready
Before you faint on me
Obey, stay in place
Oh, as I grab your waist
Don’t get mad if I berry your face
I’mma snatch your hair if its red
But first obey!
Ride the wave, take a day
But first obey!
Embrace scripts, lay it down, lose those jeans
Show your heart and put me ?
I can be your ?
But first obey!
Oh, oh, oh
Slow it down, come it all over me
? take your time
The sun don’t come for a while
I’mma make sure you make me smile
Grind slow, no premature ?
I’m trying to work a ?
Oh, oh,oh
In case I go too far
But I don’t foresee a problem
For the fact that here you are!
And here I am, here’s my disclaimer
If you decide to stay
I swear you won’t regret this moment
But first I need you to obey
Embrace scripts, lay it down, lose those jeans
Show your heart and put me ?
I can be your ?
But first obey!
Oh, oh, oh
If only for one moment
Accept me as your king
In return my tongue will love you
My hand will neck those screams
Tap me once if it’s too much pressure
Tap twice if you need to breath
Don’t play tough if you’re not ready
Before you faint on me
Obey, stay in place
Oh, as I grab your waist
Don’t get mad if I berry your face
I’mma snatch your hair if its red
But first obey!
Ride the wave, take a day
But first obey!
Embrace scripts, lay it down, lose those jeans
Show your heart and put me ?
I can be your ?
But first obey!
Oh, oh, oh
Slow it down, come it all over me

The sun don’t come for a while
I’mma make sure you make me smile
Grind slow, no premature ?
I’m trying to work a ?
Oh, oh,oh

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

“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.
