its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Kicksand, you got loose and I threw up
Yeah kickstand, you got the juice to fill my cup
My mother say that it's alright
My mother says that's the only life
So do it right
Do it right
Come stand me up
Come stand me up
Come stand me up
Yeah kickstand, I got saddle made of leather
Oh kickstand, I got the words to come together
I got the urge to ride your trike
My mother says that's the only life
So do it right
Do it right
Come stand me up come stand me up come stand me up
Oh kicksand, you got loose and I threw up
Yeah kickstand, you got the juice to fill my cup
My mother say that it's alright
Do it right
Do it right
Stand me up stand me up, stand me up
Yeah kickstand, you got the juice to fill my cup
My mother say that it's alright
My mother says that's the only life
So do it right
Do it right
Come stand me up
Come stand me up
Come stand me up
Yeah kickstand, I got saddle made of leather
Oh kickstand, I got the words to come together
I got the urge to ride your trike
My mother says that's the only life
So do it right
Do it right
Come stand me up come stand me up come stand me up
Oh kicksand, you got loose and I threw up
Yeah kickstand, you got the juice to fill my cup
My mother say that it's alright
Do it right
Do it right
Stand me up stand me up, stand me up

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

He certainly did earn that reputation.

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.

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.
I think he is using his kickstand as a metaphore ;)
