Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Johnny, angry Johnny
This is Jezebel in Hell
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you away
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you away
I can do it you gently
I can do it with an animal's grace
I can do it with precision
I can do it with gourmet taste
But either way
Either, either way
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you away
I can do it to your mind
I can do it to your face
I can do it with integrity
I can do it with disgrace
But either way
Either way
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you away
Johnny, angry Johnny
This is Jezebel in Hell, Johnny
Johnny, angry Johnny
This is Jezebel in Hell
I can do it in a church
I can do it any time or place
I can do it like an angel
To quiet down your rage
But either way
Either, oh either way
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you away
I can do it in the water
I can do on dry land
I can do it with instruments
I can do it with my own bare hands
But either way, either way
You know where it stands
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you away
Johnny, angry Johnny
This is Jezebel in Hell
Johnny, oh my Johnny
Where did your pleasure go
When the pain came through you?
Where did your happiness go?
This force is running you around now
Getting you down now
Where is your pleasure now Johnny?
Where has your pleasure gone now?
Johnny, angry Johnny
This is Jezebel in Hell

Johnny, I wanna blow you
Oh Johnny, away
Johnny, I wanna blow you away
Johnny, every body really doesn't feel okay

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
@jezabelinhell Thank you. I am in shock that there are people that still think like that person. Even after years of therapy I still find that I blame myself for what was done to me when I was 15. Logic goes away on certain days. Thank you for correcting a wrong.
