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've got bad dreams from the broken wedding rings
That you keep under your pillow while you sleep
And there's open spaces, blank faces
When you search for answers on the street
Oh, there's no one left to call, nothing much to say
Pretty sure the world is gonna end today
Drink up one last whiskey, head to dance
Baby, this is our last chance
Baby, this is our last chance
So gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha got tonight
Pack of cigarettes, baby, I'm your light
Gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha can
I'm the last pretty girl
You're the last decent man
I've got broken heart pieces swimming in my bed
Broken conversations floating in my head
A let down little mermaid trying to find air at the top
Pretty sure the spinning world's about to stop
So I cover up in glitter, head to dance
Baby, this is our last chance
Baby, this is our last chance
So gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha got tonight
Pack of cigarettes, baby, I'm your light
Gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha can
I'm the last pretty girl
You're the last decent man
When the world is on fire but your heart is on ice
It's hard to know what's wrong and what's right
But if you wanna feel your blood burn, get to the floor
Scream to God, "I wanted more!"
More hurricanes, snowstorm, rain in my face
More midnights jogging, dizzy dancing at your place
A life of fame and fortune and the star of some show
Now it's almost over, almost time to go, oh, go, oh, go, oh, go, oh, oh, oh
So gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha got tonight
Pack of cigarettes, baby, I'm your light
Gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha can
I'm the last pretty girl
You're the last decent man
So gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha got tonight
Pack of cigarettes, baby, I'm your light
Gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha can
Baby, this is our last chance
Baby, this is our last chance
That you keep under your pillow while you sleep
And there's open spaces, blank faces
When you search for answers on the street
Oh, there's no one left to call, nothing much to say
Pretty sure the world is gonna end today
Drink up one last whiskey, head to dance
Baby, this is our last chance
Baby, this is our last chance
So gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha got tonight
Pack of cigarettes, baby, I'm your light
Gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha can
I'm the last pretty girl
You're the last decent man
I've got broken heart pieces swimming in my bed
Broken conversations floating in my head
A let down little mermaid trying to find air at the top
Pretty sure the spinning world's about to stop
So I cover up in glitter, head to dance
Baby, this is our last chance
Baby, this is our last chance
So gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha got tonight
Pack of cigarettes, baby, I'm your light
Gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha can
I'm the last pretty girl
You're the last decent man
When the world is on fire but your heart is on ice
It's hard to know what's wrong and what's right
But if you wanna feel your blood burn, get to the floor
Scream to God, "I wanted more!"
More hurricanes, snowstorm, rain in my face
More midnights jogging, dizzy dancing at your place
A life of fame and fortune and the star of some show
Now it's almost over, almost time to go, oh, go, oh, go, oh, go, oh, oh, oh
So gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha got tonight
Pack of cigarettes, baby, I'm your light
Gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha can
I'm the last pretty girl
You're the last decent man
So gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha got tonight
Pack of cigarettes, baby, I'm your light
Gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha, gimme whatcha can
Baby, this is our last chance
Baby, this is our last chance

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
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."
