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.
You say love
I say killing time
What's mine is yours
And yours is mine
You make me lose
I make you cry
I guess that rhymes
You're contained
By flourescent walls
I'm contained
By your control
You're overthrown
But underworn
I told you so
We're singing for the stingin' belle
She's clearly lost her way
Craving all the simple times
Inside her tragic day
Grow some balls
And speak your mind
You think you're cool
Like a porcupine
You're more like doves
That are taking flight
The sky is mine
We're singing for the stingin' belle
She's clearly lost her way
Craving all the simple times
Inside her tragic day
We're singing for the stingin' belle
She's clearly lost her way
Craving all the simple times
Inside her tragic day
I say killing time
What's mine is yours
And yours is mine
You make me lose
I make you cry
I guess that rhymes
You're contained
By flourescent walls
I'm contained
By your control
You're overthrown
But underworn
I told you so
We're singing for the stingin' belle
She's clearly lost her way
Craving all the simple times
Inside her tragic day
Grow some balls
And speak your mind
You think you're cool
Like a porcupine
You're more like doves
That are taking flight
The sky is mine
We're singing for the stingin' belle
She's clearly lost her way
Craving all the simple times
Inside her tragic day
We're singing for the stingin' belle
She's clearly lost her way
Craving all the simple times
Inside her tragic day

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”
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/
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Love this song and album.
I think that the lyrics shown here are mostly correct, but that "You make me lose" should be "You make me laugh".
