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.

Title: Nikki
Lyrics to Nikki :
He was the man of every hour
He was a party all alone
He'd give his jacket to a stranger in the cold
She was the beauty queen from dallas
She could put a lion on a leash
And before he knew himself
She knew the man that he could be
It's never that easy
It never seems right
When careful meets carefree
And in just 4 minutes they knew each other for life
And he said
"Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
you can let your hair down
Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
You can take a breath now
If you only live once
Stay in the clouds
Never come down
Trust me
Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
you can let your hair down."
She was an Angel craving chaos
He was a demon seeking peace
But they were each other's
toxic cure called codependency
He tried to dig his way out of a coffin
'cause she smothered him with care
Before they lived in castles
They were dying on a prayer
It's never that easy
It never seems right
When careful meets carefree
And in just 4 minutes they knew each other for life
And he said
"Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
you can let your hair down
Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
You can take a breath now
If you only live once
Stay in the clouds
Never come down
Trust me
Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
you can let your hair down..Whoa"
It's never that easy
It never seems right
When careful meets carefree
And in just 4 minutes they knew each other for life
And he said
"Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
you can let your hair down
Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
You can take a breath now
Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
you can let your hair down
Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
You can take a breath now
If you only live once
Stay in the clouds
Never come down
Trust me
Alright Nikki, it's alright
Baby tonight you can let your hair down."

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
