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.
Drink slow to feed the nose you know he likes to get blown,
Has he got enough money to spend?
Leave no he's to and fro he doesn't like it when the girls go
Has he got enough money to spend?
It's going off 'cause they're not gonna let him in
Two and a half the boy is rushing out his skin
He's got his charm with the girls that are smoking
He takes her arm, jumps the bar, and now he's in
Drink slow to feed the nose you know he likes to get blown,
Has he got enough money to spend?
Leave no he's to and fro he doesn't like it when the girls go
Has he got enough money to spend?
A broken half a glass has opened up his chin,
He thinks he's hard a powdered mouth that tastes of gin
He's just been barred for that blues he was smoking
And then he barks "it's my car I'm sleeping in"
Tabs with unlimited zero's new clothes, bloody nose
Powders and walking back home
Has he got enough weed, no
Broken phone retching on the floor alone
I can't believe that we're talking about him
"I'm searching you mate, your jaw's all over the place"
Can't talk quick slap in the face
Yes I threw a nut but your friend's a case
Why you singling him out is it because of his race?
Look, the dog won't bark if you don't lark about
M-O-N-E-Y's me
M-O-N-E-Y
M-O-N-E-Y's me
M-O-N-E-Y
M-O-N-E
M-O-N-E-Y
M-O-N-E-Y's me
M-O-N-E-Y
Has he got enough money to spend?
Leave no he's to and fro he doesn't like it when the girls go
Has he got enough money to spend?
It's going off 'cause they're not gonna let him in
Two and a half the boy is rushing out his skin
He's got his charm with the girls that are smoking
He takes her arm, jumps the bar, and now he's in
Drink slow to feed the nose you know he likes to get blown,
Has he got enough money to spend?
Leave no he's to and fro he doesn't like it when the girls go
Has he got enough money to spend?
A broken half a glass has opened up his chin,
He thinks he's hard a powdered mouth that tastes of gin
He's just been barred for that blues he was smoking
And then he barks "it's my car I'm sleeping in"
Tabs with unlimited zero's new clothes, bloody nose
Powders and walking back home
Has he got enough weed, no
Broken phone retching on the floor alone
I can't believe that we're talking about him
"I'm searching you mate, your jaw's all over the place"
Can't talk quick slap in the face

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.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
When We Were Young
Blink-182
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
This song seems pretty self explanatory. It's about a wealthy guy who likes to blow his money on drugs and prostitutes, or other unhealthy outlets.
