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.
Leave slowly but come back quick
Eat so much, it makes us sick
Start to look just like Saint Nick
And fall down like a snowflake
Uncle Dylan's late to lunch
Nana Gwen's drank too much
My lovely wife was buzzed at brunch
We're all a bunch of snowflakes
We're all a bunch of snowflakes
My baby's step-dad has brought Mary-Lou
Tryin' to tell us why Trump is good for you
The table goes quiet 'cause that's what we do
We're all liberal snowflakes
My dad's new girlfriend from Taiwan
Brand new to the country and she's 21
They met online and now she's my mom
She's never seen a snowflake
'Cause they don't get no snowflakes
Once in a lonely lifetime
There'll be peace for all mankind
I went out to the world
And I was searchin' for my tribe
Now it's a family vibe
In this home of mine
The reason I'm alive
The snowflakes of mine
Mom's bringin' up the past again
And somehow World War III begins
Think I know how this one ends
I'm off to watch the snowflakes
Time won't change us, nothin' will
I know they're not perfect but I love them still
Much makes me happy but my family will
Love this bunch of snowflakes
God bless this bunch of snowflakes
Once in a lonely lifetime
There'll be peace for all mankind
I went out to the world
And I was searchin' for my tribe
Now it's a family vibe
In this home of mine
The reason I'm alive
The snowflakes of mine
All my life
A love insane
These are my people
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Time won't change us, nothin' will
I know they're not perfect but I love them still
Not much makes me happy but my family will
I love this bunch of snowflakes
God bless this bunch of snowflakes
Eat so much, it makes us sick
Start to look just like Saint Nick
And fall down like a snowflake
Uncle Dylan's late to lunch
Nana Gwen's drank too much
My lovely wife was buzzed at brunch
We're all a bunch of snowflakes
We're all a bunch of snowflakes
My baby's step-dad has brought Mary-Lou
Tryin' to tell us why Trump is good for you
The table goes quiet 'cause that's what we do
We're all liberal snowflakes
My dad's new girlfriend from Taiwan
Brand new to the country and she's 21
They met online and now she's my mom
She's never seen a snowflake
'Cause they don't get no snowflakes
Once in a lonely lifetime
There'll be peace for all mankind
I went out to the world
And I was searchin' for my tribe
Now it's a family vibe
In this home of mine
The reason I'm alive
The snowflakes of mine
Mom's bringin' up the past again
And somehow World War III begins
Think I know how this one ends
I'm off to watch the snowflakes
Time won't change us, nothin' will
I know they're not perfect but I love them still
Much makes me happy but my family will
Love this bunch of snowflakes
God bless this bunch of snowflakes
Once in a lonely lifetime
There'll be peace for all mankind
I went out to the world
And I was searchin' for my tribe
Now it's a family vibe
In this home of mine
The reason I'm alive
The snowflakes of mine
All my life
A love insane

Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Time won't change us, nothin' will
I know they're not perfect but I love them still
Not much makes me happy but my family will
I love this bunch of snowflakes
God bless this bunch of snowflakes

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
