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.
Hey, will you stay awhile?
My smile will not mislead you
'Cause I've been alone
My faith turned to stone
Still there's something in you
That I believe in
Close to the pierce, I go wild and fierce
Still I let you be, I feel you next to me
'Cause inside I feel a wind that starts to blow
I'm taken in your undertow
Everything is fine
I'm lonely all the time
'Cause all I want to do
Is be there for the things that you're going through
Well, is it good for you?
Is it good for you?
'Cause you haunt my nights
When I don't know where my life should go
Well, is it good for you?
Is it good for you?
Hey, child please stay awhile
My smile will not mislead you
'Cause I've been without
I go wild with doubt, I grab at you
I can't stop grabbing at you
'Cause I feel you cross my mind in disarray
Intoxicated ricochet, there's nothing wrong
Just don't take too long
'Cause all I want to do
Is be there for the things that you're going through
Well, is it good for you?
Is it good for you?
'Cause you haunt my nights
When I don't know where my life should go
Well, is it good for you?
Well, it it for you?
All I want to do
Is be there for the things that you're going through
Well, is it good for you?
Well, is it good for you?
'Cause you haunt my nights
When I don't know where my life should go
Well, is it good for you?
Well, it it for you?
My smile will not mislead you
'Cause I've been alone
My faith turned to stone
Still there's something in you
That I believe in
Close to the pierce, I go wild and fierce
Still I let you be, I feel you next to me
'Cause inside I feel a wind that starts to blow
I'm taken in your undertow
Everything is fine
I'm lonely all the time
'Cause all I want to do
Is be there for the things that you're going through
Well, is it good for you?
Is it good for you?
'Cause you haunt my nights
When I don't know where my life should go
Well, is it good for you?
Is it good for you?
Hey, child please stay awhile
My smile will not mislead you
'Cause I've been without
I go wild with doubt, I grab at you
I can't stop grabbing at you
'Cause I feel you cross my mind in disarray
Intoxicated ricochet, there's nothing wrong
Just don't take too long
'Cause all I want to do
Is be there for the things that you're going through
Well, is it good for you?
Is it good for you?
'Cause you haunt my nights
When I don't know where my life should go
Well, is it good for you?
Well, it it for you?
All I want to do
Is be there for the things that you're going through
Well, is it good for you?
Well, is it good for you?
'Cause you haunt my nights
When I don't know where my life should go
Well, is it good for you?
Well, it it for you?

Audioslave
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.
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.
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.
