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.
Freezing but burning from inside,
The carves that you left me never healed.
Around me is the world tonight,
Can not see it, tears fill my eyes.
Lonely steps I follow, this path is touching my heart.
Like Your Immortal Kiss, your forever hurting closesness.
Darkness that took you, takes me too!
(Greed in my heart send you fading away,
Away, why death took you? Just space,
Emptyness and despair;
Bring me back your immortal love!
Falling, falling eternally.
Your arms the paradise, I once felt,
Is now just a beautiful dream.
The steps are gone so are you.
Still through the utter darkness I'd travel,
For your tears, just to see them again!
Greed in my heart send you fading away,
Away why death took you?
So close you were and then gone,
You left me Your Immortal Kiss!
As the story ends I'll see your life, passing by my soul.The tears as you died, they never Stopped, falling down!
The carves that you left me never healed.
Around me is the world tonight,
Can not see it, tears fill my eyes.
Lonely steps I follow, this path is touching my heart.
Like Your Immortal Kiss, your forever hurting closesness.
Darkness that took you, takes me too!
(Greed in my heart send you fading away,
Away, why death took you? Just space,
Emptyness and despair;
Bring me back your immortal love!
Falling, falling eternally.
Your arms the paradise, I once felt,
Is now just a beautiful dream.
The steps are gone so are you.
Still through the utter darkness I'd travel,
For your tears, just to see them again!
Greed in my heart send you fading away,
Away why death took you?
So close you were and then gone,
You left me Your Immortal Kiss!
As the story ends I'll see your life, passing by my soul.The tears as you died, they never Stopped, falling down!

Fast Car

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.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
