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 thought . . .you'd be out of my mind
And i'd finally found a way to
Learn to live without you
I thought . . .it was just a matter of time
Till I had a hundred reasons
Not to think about you
But it's just not so
and after all this time
I still can't let go
I've still got your face
Painted on my heard
Carved upon my soul
Etched upon my memory . . .baby
And I've got your kiss
Still
Burning on my lips
The touch of her fingertips
Is left so deep inside of me . . .baby
I was trying
Everything that I can
To get my heart to forget you
But it just can't seem to
I guess it's just no use
In every part of me
is still a part of you
And I've still got your face
Painted on my heart
Carved upon my soul
Etched upon my memory . . .baby
And I've got your kiss
Still
Burning on my lips
The tough of her fingertips
Is left so deep inside of me . . .baby
I've still got your face
Painted on my heart
Painted on my heart
Painted on my heart . . .baby
Something in your eyes keeps haunting
Me
I'm trying to forget you
But I know there ain't no wayto
Chase you from my mind
I've still got your face
Painted on my heart
Carved upon my soul
Etched upon my memory . . .baby
And I've got your kiss
Still
Burning on my lips
The touch of her fingertips
Is left so deep inside of me . . .baby
I've still got your face
I've still got your face
Painted on my heart
Painted on my h-e-a-are-t
Baby
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Baby
Come on
Come on
Baby
Come on
Come on
Baby
On my h-e-a-are-t
I've still got your face
Painted on my heart
And i'd finally found a way to
Learn to live without you

Till I had a hundred reasons
Not to think about you
But it's just not so
and after all this time
I still can't let go
I've still got your face
Painted on my heard
Carved upon my soul
Etched upon my memory . . .baby
And I've got your kiss
Still
Burning on my lips
The touch of her fingertips
Is left so deep inside of me . . .baby

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Head > Heels
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.
If you ask me, it is about a guy at a farmer's market who is trying to sell his chickens that he raised from little chicks and is having separation anxiety.... He also must double as a face painter at the market since he painted a likeness of the chickens on his chest (over his heart).
I first heard this song on the movie "Gone in 60 Seconds." I knew right then that I had to download it. Now, after having listened to the words, I love it even more. This song is obviously about a lost love. Although he would like to get her out of his mind, he cannot manage to do it. No matter what he does, he is still reminded of her.
That sounds like my own life.
This song is so moving...everytime i hear this song im weeping over a lost love i never even had...its really deap :-( and sad
This song is about lost love. he loved someone deeply and passionately and he lost her. now he is obsessed with her
What an amazing song...it really cuts into you! There's nothing like not being able to get over someone, especially when they've long since moved on. I also think this song fits perfectly in the movie Gone in 60 seconds except that in that case the girl still felt something for the guy...either way its a great song.
this song rocks...whether or not you end up losing the person you love, this song describes some of the passion and obsession that comes with loving a person who really gets under your skin
i can totaly relate to this song on so many levels so many god damn levels, the first time i heard this song was on Much Music and then on VG 18 i can relate so much... anyone can when soemone is dumped they just need to find a reason but they cant and they just remember every waking day they spent with them... and in a non gay way... this can aslo remind you of your friends you once had and maybe still have
I first heard this song in the movie "Gone in 60 seconds". I cried at the end of the credits because of the words to this song. It was only b/c my ex-fiance and I had just called it quits a few months prior and I just felt this song in my soul. It's BEAUTIFUL...
You know, this song fits the part in the movie so well, when Memphis and (Angelina's character) are in the car, waiting to boost the car, and they're talking about their past.....the song is about them. I'd have to agree that it's about a lost love, that was just a great relationship, and now it's gone.
