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.
Welcome to my broken car
It don't move fast
But it goes so far
Though you might
Bang your head or scrape your toes
Fred Flinstone
With my feet on
Through the holes
But don't you worry now
Don't you worry
CAuse it will get you there
Where you need to go
Where you need to go
Where you need to go
Over the hillsides and the valleys
Far and wide
Where the sun goes
And the sky it shines
Fire gonna rage tonight
Welcome to my broken home
It's not so fancy
Made from sticks and stones
It's often empty
I hope you like to be alone
You can stare out the window
Until you find your zone
Take cover fromt the bombs and the bullets
Take time to heal your wounds
Forget what they told you now
Just listen on to the tunes
Listenin' to the tune
Welcome to my broken house
You don't have to tip toe here
You can put ya feet down
Feel the floor beneath you
Feel the ground
Don't worry bout the future
You're here right now
Unpack your bags and relax for a while
Rest your weary eyes
I know you've been tired
Where do you need to go
Where you got to be
Where do yu need to go
I'm your taxi
Don't you worry
Don't you worry now
Don't you worry now
Fire gonna rage tonight
Welcome to my broken heart
I know it's hard
Sometimes you fall apart
Welcome to my broken song
Don't worry now baby
You ain't done nothing wrong
Welcome to my broken heart
I know it's hard
Sometimes you fall apart
Welcome to my broken song
Don't worry now baby
You ain't done nothing wrong
Where you need to go
Where you need to go
Where you need to go
It don't move fast
But it goes so far
Though you might
Bang your head or scrape your toes
Fred Flinstone
With my feet on
Through the holes
But don't you worry now
Don't you worry
CAuse it will get you there
Where you need to go
Where you need to go
Where you need to go
Over the hillsides and the valleys
Far and wide
Where the sun goes
And the sky it shines
Fire gonna rage tonight
Welcome to my broken home
It's not so fancy
Made from sticks and stones
It's often empty
I hope you like to be alone
You can stare out the window
Until you find your zone
Take cover fromt the bombs and the bullets
Take time to heal your wounds
Forget what they told you now
Just listen on to the tunes
Listenin' to the tune
Welcome to my broken house
You don't have to tip toe here
You can put ya feet down
Feel the floor beneath you
Feel the ground
Don't worry bout the future
You're here right now
Unpack your bags and relax for a while
Rest your weary eyes
I know you've been tired
Where do you need to go
Where you got to be
Where do yu need to go
I'm your taxi
Don't you worry
Don't you worry now
Don't you worry now
Fire gonna rage tonight
Welcome to my broken heart
I know it's hard
Sometimes you fall apart
Welcome to my broken song
Don't worry now baby
You ain't done nothing wrong
Welcome to my broken heart
I know it's hard
Sometimes you fall apart
Welcome to my broken song
Don't worry now baby
You ain't done nothing wrong
Where you need to go
Where you need to go
Where you need to go

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.
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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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.
