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.
I'm on my way
This goin' out to every hood
We gonna make it
[Chorus]
You can look into my eyes
See that I'm dead tired
6 in the morning
Money still on my mind
So if you want it
I'm the one to supply
Be there in no time, no time, no time
I'm on my way-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay
I'm on my way-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay
I'm on my way-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay
I'm on my way-ay-ay-ay,
I'm on my way-ay-ay-ay,
I'm on my way-ay-ay-ay
Nigga this legendary
No ordinary shit
No ordinary bitches
No ordinary whips
4 bills nigga special like the 38
I came along way from food stamps in section 8
Niggas eatin' on these beats
Get yourself a plate
And I'm a step away
One hit, one breath away
When on God time, you ain't never late
Come so victory is here
We can celebrate
OK, I'm on my grizzle
On my grind
Go ahead try, top my shine
I'm on my way, anyday
Tell them niggas better have my cake
What you think
Nigga you ain't
Have me laughin' all the way to the bank
L-O-L, A-M-B, O R at the Gini baby
Had the chop the top off that bitch
Just so they can see me baby
Money I get, know that shit
Yeah he paid, notice it
Sleepin' who, no can do
Motivation, ocean view
How I get it
Bitch you trippin'
Ain't got nothin' to do with you
[Chorus]
Victory is on the way
Khaled go in on 'em
Show 'em we gonna win homey
Get off in their skin homey
I've been getting in the streets over 10 years
So you think a nigga pussy cause his ear's pierced
Run up on a nigga if you want to
You gotta vest i gotta a shell that'll go through
Ball Greezy gettin' money like ya 'posed to
Good dope in the drop like soul food
Big Body, big rims on the old school
Stay fly like a hood nigga 'posed too
Lights off click clack in the pinto
Seat back, dick sucked in the Benzo
5 percent D-B's on the Renzo
No sleep, gotta eat, gotta get done
It's like I always say
Motherfucka' here I come
Another victory for the crib
A couple more before I'm done
And if you asleep you better wake up
And get on your fuckin' job
Cause I'm takin' everything except a loss
Iceburg goes off, yeah 24-7 I goes on
And I be scared I might miss money
So I don't doze off
I'm a snap and the streets know it
Trick told me keep goin'
An I'm a keep Chiefin' as long as God keep the weed growin'
[Chorus]
Switch man been to a ?
I've been destined to shine
Won't take no for an answer
Fuck nigga gimme mine
Never been selfish for real
I put on my whole city
I went from standing on corners
To autographin' titties
My daddy gave my Virginia's King, A Richmond legend
A wise speaker, a woman pleaser
Broke nigga, reverend
Mr O-10, I get it in
I wear da crown
We da best, tell 'em fuck next
I got now
You got da cash, then show me
Better not be phoney
Get on my level
Cause they way below me
You ballin' Balogna
Girls ask me what my cologne is
Steel Khakis and Coronas
And I'm mackin' a donkey
Flip the 4 and a half
Do the vert and a left
Bet da Ave never seen banks chunky as dat
Why you got pressure?
Cause my Impala got pressure
Beating outside, shaking the dice on my dresser
Is that gun play, Yes Sir!
I'm on my way-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay
I'm on my way-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay
I'm on my way-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay
I'm on my way-ay-ay-ay,
I'm on my way-ay-ay-ay,
I'm on my way-ay-ay-ay
This goin' out to every hood
We gonna make it
[Chorus]
You can look into my eyes
See that I'm dead tired
6 in the morning
Money still on my mind
So if you want it
I'm the one to supply
Be there in no time, no time, no time
I'm on my way-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay
I'm on my way-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay
I'm on my way-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay
I'm on my way-ay-ay-ay,
I'm on my way-ay-ay-ay,
I'm on my way-ay-ay-ay

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
