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 gotta listen to the things that she says,
And be aware of her lies
'Cause a wolf in sheep's clothing will wait in the dark,
To pull it over your eyes
You've gotta look out for the way she moves
She'll turn your head inside out
She'd love to let you think she's easy to please
While a different monster lurks about
I'm starting to think she's just a monster in my head
Wearing a blue dress
I'm starting to think she's just a monster in my head
Wearing a blue dress
She'll try to tell you that it's all in your head
She'll string you out in the night
She's gonna make you think she's easy to please
'Cause the kiss from her lips is a different kind
I'm starting to think she's just a monster in my head
Wearing a blue dress
I'm starting to think she's just a monster in my head
Wearing a blue dress
Careful, careful, my darling
'Cause there's a lion in the weeds
See, see you've got vultures watching
It's an animal disease
Careful, careful we land, now, now, now
We got his to bring him down, down, down, down
I'm starting to think she's just a monster in my head
Wearing a blue dress
I'm starting to think she's just a monster in my head
Wearing a blue dress
And be aware of her lies
'Cause a wolf in sheep's clothing will wait in the dark,
To pull it over your eyes
You've gotta look out for the way she moves
She'll turn your head inside out
She'd love to let you think she's easy to please
While a different monster lurks about
I'm starting to think she's just a monster in my head
Wearing a blue dress
I'm starting to think she's just a monster in my head
Wearing a blue dress
She'll try to tell you that it's all in your head
She'll string you out in the night
She's gonna make you think she's easy to please
'Cause the kiss from her lips is a different kind
I'm starting to think she's just a monster in my head
Wearing a blue dress
I'm starting to think she's just a monster in my head
Wearing a blue dress
Careful, careful, my darling
'Cause there's a lion in the weeds
See, see you've got vultures watching
It's an animal disease
Careful, careful we land, now, now, now
We got his to bring him down, down, down, down
I'm starting to think she's just a monster in my head
Wearing a blue dress
I'm starting to think she's just a monster in my head
Wearing a blue dress

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.
