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.
Hearts go astray, keeping hurt when they go
I went away just when you needed me so
You won't regret I'll come back beggin' you
Don't you forget
Welcome love we once knew, yeah
Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I stand with my
Everlasting love
Need you by my side
Come and be my pride
You'll never be denied
Everlasting love
From the very start
Open up your heart
Feel the love you've got
Everlasting love
This love will last forever
This love will last forever
Hearts gone astray
Keeping up when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won't regret it
I'll come back begging you
Don't you forget
Welcome love we once knew, yeah
When life really flows
No one really knows
The sun will have to show them
Everlasting love
Like the sun it shines
Endlessly it shines
You always will be mine
Eternal love
Whenever love went wrong
Ours would still be strong
We'd have our own
Everlasting love
This love will last forever
This love will last forever
Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I stand with my
Everlasting love
Need you by my side
Come and be my pride
Never be denied
Everlasting love
From the very start
Open up your heart
Feel the love you've got
Everlasting love
Everlasting love
Everlasting love
Everlasting love
Everlasting love
I went away just when you needed me so
You won't regret I'll come back beggin' you
Don't you forget
Welcome love we once knew, yeah
Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I stand with my
Everlasting love
Need you by my side
Come and be my pride
You'll never be denied
Everlasting love
From the very start
Open up your heart
Feel the love you've got
Everlasting love
This love will last forever
This love will last forever
Hearts gone astray
Keeping up when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won't regret it
I'll come back begging you
Don't you forget
Welcome love we once knew, yeah
When life really flows
No one really knows
The sun will have to show them
Everlasting love
Like the sun it shines
Endlessly it shines
You always will be mine
Eternal love
Whenever love went wrong
Ours would still be strong
We'd have our own
Everlasting love
This love will last forever
This love will last forever
Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I stand with my
Everlasting love
Need you by my side
Come and be my pride
Never be denied
Everlasting love
From the very start
Open up your heart
Feel the love you've got
Everlasting love
Everlasting love
Everlasting love
Everlasting love
Everlasting love

Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
this is a kick-ass cover song! The song, if you must REALLY know, it's about everlasting love(duh) and how it is...okay so my explaination sucks really bad but I sitll like this song....
I think its about a guy who wasn't there for the girl he loved when she really needed him and he's realised the error of his ways and is begging her to accept his love for her again and forgive him.
Did you know this song was used for the trailer for the movie Wimbledon with Paul Bettany and Kirsten Dunst? Really good cover in my opinion, the guitar is very good, makes it sound rather happy!
The original is by Love Affair, a British pop band of the '60s. I like both versions of it.
this song has been covered three million other times, but done by U2 i find it OK. all the other versions, including the original, are annoying to me (sorry :D) i still do not like the song, but somehow it seems a bit better done by U2.
I think U2 has done the best cover of this song. The guitar in it just makes me smile!
I absolutely love this song! I think this is one of U2's best even though it's a cover, and the guitars sound great.
was sung by gloria estefan
the song is easy to play on the guitar. you tune the guitar down half a step, and the chords and rhythms not that hard. i'll say that the Edge and Bono are a very good team in themselves. at the core you hear the dreamy, melancholic and almost distorted sounds of u2 and it meshes well with bono's lyrics, they always seem to be bittersweet lyrics. hmm.
My dad once made fun of me because for a time I was thoght that U2 wrote this song but I looked it up and found that some one else had wrote it, so to poke fun at me my dad said, "That was a good cover that and their cover of 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For.'" After he said that I waited a minute and said, "Hay! They wrote that song, I think..." My dad nearly laughed out of his set.
