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.
Everybody knows when tell me again
Fatten up the pig and baby let's pretend
That I could see the joke
at the beginning or the end
Let me know the secret honey
then I'll be your best friend
Alakazam, Kalakazoo, Salaam
Meet me in the jungle
where they never give a damn
If your clothes don't fit
or if your marriage is a sham
They never weigh a woman
by the kilo or the gram
If you got to make it baby make it real
Get up off your knees
and tell me how do you feel?
Nothing untrue can ever be revealed
Cover my eyes this is getting surreal
Written in the stars is a great big lie
that you'll never get to see
until the minute that you die
and by the time you get to heaven
you're a whole nother guy
It's maybe just as well
that you never had a third eye
Little pig little pig lock your door
Take the gun from the wall
and then even up the score
I don't even know who the sun shines for
And I don't believe what I believe any more
If you got to make it baby make it real
Get up off your knees
and tell me how do you feel?
Nothing untrue can ever be revealed
Cover my eyes this is getting surreal
Hollywood death smile flash me a grin
Laughing gas don't cut it
when you're rotten within
Nothing untrue can ever be revealed
Cover my eyes this is getting surreal
Well it's hotdog logic in a grapefruit time
Flutter your eyelids and honey you'll be fine
Throw me your sins
and I'll keep them with mine
You got a headful of stone
and that's something divine
Get a little head rush, swallow a fly
Cut off your memories
and hang them out to dry
It was a beautiful noise
but now it's tumbling by
I was never here there was never you or I
If you got to make it baby make it real
Get up off your knees
and tell me how do you feel?
Nothing untrue can ever be revealed
Cover my eyes this is getting surreal
Hollywood death smile flash me a grin
Laughing gas don't cut it
when you're rotten within
Nothing untrue can ever be revealed
Cover my eyes this is getting surreal
Fatten up the pig and baby let's pretend
That I could see the joke
at the beginning or the end
Let me know the secret honey
then I'll be your best friend
Alakazam, Kalakazoo, Salaam
Meet me in the jungle
where they never give a damn
If your clothes don't fit
or if your marriage is a sham
They never weigh a woman
by the kilo or the gram
If you got to make it baby make it real
Get up off your knees
and tell me how do you feel?
Nothing untrue can ever be revealed
Cover my eyes this is getting surreal
Written in the stars is a great big lie
that you'll never get to see
until the minute that you die
and by the time you get to heaven
you're a whole nother guy
It's maybe just as well
that you never had a third eye
Little pig little pig lock your door
Take the gun from the wall
and then even up the score
I don't even know who the sun shines for
And I don't believe what I believe any more
If you got to make it baby make it real
Get up off your knees
and tell me how do you feel?
Nothing untrue can ever be revealed
Cover my eyes this is getting surreal
Hollywood death smile flash me a grin
Laughing gas don't cut it
when you're rotten within
Nothing untrue can ever be revealed
Cover my eyes this is getting surreal
Well it's hotdog logic in a grapefruit time
Flutter your eyelids and honey you'll be fine
Throw me your sins
and I'll keep them with mine

Get a little head rush, swallow a fly

I was never here there was never you or I
If you got to make it baby make it real
Get up off your knees
and tell me how do you feel?
Nothing untrue can ever be revealed
Cover my eyes this is getting surreal
Hollywood death smile flash me a grin
Laughing gas don't cut it
when you're rotten within
Nothing untrue can ever be revealed
Cover my eyes this is getting surreal

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
