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.
So why does it happen
It disintegrates with time
Thermodynamics is tragically defined
With entropy's arrow the elegance concealed
Life and experience becoming so much less than real
In love everlasting hold tightly to the spark
Though the darkness surrounds you remember who you are
I found it here always and I hope you find it too
In love everlasting the angels will bring it back to you
A song of perception to navigate your way
More precious each moment before it slips away
No concessions to sorrow there's power in your dreams
Your life is a gift filled with infinite possibilities
In love everlasting the sentience in the spark
In the end all that matters follows who you are
I found it here always and I hope you'll find it too
In love everlasting the angels are calling back to you
Both in science and history we express what we we know
But it's a guess I confess that you pleaded it best (?)
And the truth is tomorrow you must first undergo
You cannot claim godhood to know the unknown
In the central definition that no writers can see (?)
Right and wrong separated by a few degrees
So your knowledge is strength but it's not absolute
You must open your mind to the beautiful truth
In love everlasting hold tightly to the spark
Though the darkness surrounds you remember who you are
I found it here always and I hope you find it too
In love everlasting the angels are standing next to you
In love everlasting hold tightly to the spark
Though the darkness is all around you remember who you are
I found it here always and I hope you'll find it too
In love everlasting the angels will bring this back to you
In love everlasting the sentience in the spark
In the end all that matters believes in who you are
I found it here always and I hope you know it's true
In love everlasting the angels are singing back to you
It disintegrates with time
Thermodynamics is tragically defined
With entropy's arrow the elegance concealed
Life and experience becoming so much less than real
In love everlasting hold tightly to the spark
Though the darkness surrounds you remember who you are
I found it here always and I hope you find it too
In love everlasting the angels will bring it back to you
A song of perception to navigate your way
More precious each moment before it slips away
No concessions to sorrow there's power in your dreams
Your life is a gift filled with infinite possibilities
In love everlasting the sentience in the spark
In the end all that matters follows who you are
I found it here always and I hope you'll find it too
In love everlasting the angels are calling back to you
Both in science and history we express what we we know
But it's a guess I confess that you pleaded it best (?)
And the truth is tomorrow you must first undergo
You cannot claim godhood to know the unknown
In the central definition that no writers can see (?)
Right and wrong separated by a few degrees
So your knowledge is strength but it's not absolute
You must open your mind to the beautiful truth
In love everlasting hold tightly to the spark
Though the darkness surrounds you remember who you are
I found it here always and I hope you find it too
In love everlasting the angels are standing next to you
In love everlasting hold tightly to the spark
Though the darkness is all around you remember who you are
I found it here always and I hope you'll find it too
In love everlasting the angels will bring this back to you
In love everlasting the sentience in the spark
In the end all that matters believes in who you are
I found it here always and I hope you know it's true
In love everlasting the angels are singing back to you

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
