High life
Materialize!
The mass production of art
We're going nowhere, but getting there fast
We're going nowhere, but getting there fast
Oblivious!
We're begging for bargains
Oblivion!
Discounting our dreams
Oblivious!
We're trying to make sense
But we don't want the change
We don't want the change
Take what you want leave the rest for the vultures to scavenge amongst the filth
We laid off everyone at the lighthouses
And now our shores are lined with shipwrecks
We've lost everything and everyone and now we're on our own
What good is this heart if it doesn't have a home?
If music is the food of love then we've heard every song
And we're starving and thirsting for more
But we got all the words wrong
We are gathered here today for the eulogy of a fallen friend
I can't scream these words any clearer
And I'm sick of trying to pretend
This is the death of music
We are the death of music
But if you ask me, it died long ago
The mass production of art
We're going nowhere, but getting there fast
We're going nowhere, but getting there fast
Oblivious!
We're begging for bargains
Oblivion!
Discounting our dreams
Oblivious!
We're trying to make sense
But we don't want the change
We don't want the change
Take what you want leave the rest for the vultures to scavenge amongst the filth
We laid off everyone at the lighthouses
And now our shores are lined with shipwrecks
We've lost everything and everyone and now we're on our own
What good is this heart if it doesn't have a home?
If music is the food of love then we've heard every song
And we're starving and thirsting for more
But we got all the words wrong
We are gathered here today for the eulogy of a fallen friend
I can't scream these words any clearer
And I'm sick of trying to pretend
This is the death of music
We are the death of music
But if you ask me, it died long ago

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.
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”

@[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.
