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.
No one can take the place of you
Nobody in the world touches me like you do
And I know, yes I know, you're untouchable
No one knows me like you do
Nobody comprehends the pain I'm going through, except you
But I know you're untouchable
I accept you're untouchable
You never wanted
What I always needed
And I always needed a door
Trapped in a room full of wonderful colors
You left because you needed more
And we knew from the start,
We were jumping the gun
I never thought that I'd be the one
Trapped in a room full of wonderful colors
Just me
It's not nearly as bright,
I'm afraid of the dark
It's all turning black
Can't you see
No one can hurt me like you do
No one will ever know the love I have for you
But they'll know, yes, they'll know you're untouchable
And they'll know yes, they'll know you're untouchable
You never wanted what
What I always needed
And I always needed a door
Leave me here
I want to be untouchable
I close the door behind you
Now I'm untouchable to
Nobody in the world touches me like you do
And I know, yes I know, you're untouchable
No one knows me like you do
Nobody comprehends the pain I'm going through, except you
But I know you're untouchable
I accept you're untouchable
You never wanted
What I always needed
And I always needed a door
Trapped in a room full of wonderful colors
You left because you needed more
And we knew from the start,
We were jumping the gun
I never thought that I'd be the one
Trapped in a room full of wonderful colors
Just me
It's not nearly as bright,
I'm afraid of the dark
It's all turning black
Can't you see
No one can hurt me like you do
No one will ever know the love I have for you
But they'll know, yes, they'll know you're untouchable
And they'll know yes, they'll know you're untouchable
You never wanted what
What I always needed
And I always needed a door
Leave me here
I want to be untouchable
I close the door behind you
Now I'm untouchable to

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”

wow, i thought there'd be more comments here.. i love the murmurs and this song is great!! i think the meanings pretty straighforward.. ah the common feeling of wanting someone you can't have, someone 'untouchable' i know that feeling.. i can relate to this song well.. "No-one can take the place of you" they seem pretty smitten and feel like that persons the only one that understand them.. great song!
