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.
He oído que la noche es toda magia
Y que el duende te invita a soñar
Y sé que últimamente apenas he parado
Y tengo la impresión de divagar
Amanece tan pronto y yo estoy tan solo
Y no me arrepiento de lo de ayer
Si las estrellas te iluminan
Oh y te sirven de guía
Te sientes tan fuerte que piensas
Que nadie te puede tocar
Wo oh oh oh
Wo oh oh oh oh
Wo oh oh oh
Wo oh oh oh oh
Las distancias se hacen cortas
Pasan rápidas las horas
Y este cuarto no para de menguar
Y tantas cosas por decir tanta charla por aquí
Si fuera posible escapar de este lugar
Amanece tan pronto y yo estoy tan solo
Que no arrepiento de lo de lo de ayer
Si las estrellas te iluminan
Oh y te sirven de guía
Te sientes tan fuerte que piensas
Que nadie te puede tocar
Wo oh oh oh
Wo oh oh oh oh
Wo oh oh oh
Wo oh oh oh oh
Amanece tan pronto y yo estoy tan solo
Que no me arrepiento de lo de ayer
Si las estrellas te iluminan
Y te sirven de guía
Te sientes tan fuerte que piensas
Que nadie te puede tocar
Y que el duende te invita a soñar
Y sé que últimamente apenas he parado
Y tengo la impresión de divagar
Amanece tan pronto y yo estoy tan solo
Y no me arrepiento de lo de ayer
Si las estrellas te iluminan
Oh y te sirven de guía
Te sientes tan fuerte que piensas
Que nadie te puede tocar
Wo oh oh oh
Wo oh oh oh oh
Wo oh oh oh
Wo oh oh oh oh
Las distancias se hacen cortas
Pasan rápidas las horas
Y este cuarto no para de menguar
Y tantas cosas por decir tanta charla por aquí
Si fuera posible escapar de este lugar
Amanece tan pronto y yo estoy tan solo
Que no arrepiento de lo de lo de ayer
Si las estrellas te iluminan
Oh y te sirven de guía
Te sientes tan fuerte que piensas
Que nadie te puede tocar
Wo oh oh oh
Wo oh oh oh oh
Wo oh oh oh
Wo oh oh oh oh
Amanece tan pronto y yo estoy tan solo
Que no me arrepiento de lo de ayer
Si las estrellas te iluminan
Y te sirven de guía
Te sientes tan fuerte que piensas
Que nadie te puede tocar

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

@[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.

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

“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.
Primera cancion escrita por bunbury a los 14 años sobre su primer pase de marihuana... si asi es. me encana, no se como no la sacaron en un album anterior de todas formas si li escribio tan joven, quizas no estaba contento con los arreglos o la banda no la queria poner.
funny, because i had the feeling that it was about not being able to have sex with your partner for any reason
no fue pase de marihuana, fue de cocaina...
no sabia que era de su primer pase jeje pero tiene sentido
klaro ke es marihuana por ke la koka no es verde''un duende te invita asoñar''
Heroes del Silencio viene de Zaragoza. En 1934, en dicha ciudad española, y por varios meses, se manifesto un "ente" dentro de la cocina de un edificio. Le llamaron el Duende de Zaragoza.
