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.
It's something in the sun or the air
It's making me wanna run away from here
I know that you want me to stay with you, but no
So I'll keep on making excuses about the sun, the earth, the rays
Our days are numbered, wired and I'm tired of it
I know you're trying
But you'll never unravel me
Unravel me, unravel
Unravel me, unravel
It's something about the season that we're in
That's making me think that we're not supposed to do this
I know that you're trying to understand, but you can't
'Cause I keep on making excuses 'bout the fall, the rise
And how my mind is ruptured, wired and I'm tired of it
I know you're trying
But you'll never unravel me
Unravel me, unravel
Unravel me, unravel
Unravel me, unravel
Unravel me, unravel
Unravel
Unravel me, unravel
Unravel me, unravel
Unravel me, unravel
Unravel me, unravel
It's making me wanna run away from here
I know that you want me to stay with you, but no
So I'll keep on making excuses about the sun, the earth, the rays
Our days are numbered, wired and I'm tired of it
I know you're trying
But you'll never unravel me
Unravel me, unravel
Unravel me, unravel
It's something about the season that we're in
That's making me think that we're not supposed to do this
I know that you're trying to understand, but you can't
'Cause I keep on making excuses 'bout the fall, the rise
And how my mind is ruptured, wired and I'm tired of it
I know you're trying
But you'll never unravel me
Unravel me, unravel
Unravel me, unravel
Unravel me, unravel
Unravel me, unravel
Unravel
Unravel me, unravel
Unravel me, unravel
Unravel me, unravel
Unravel me, unravel

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
