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.
Here I sit in idle envy
T.V. show still holds me in
thin steel creases my (??)
begging till the end
And then it hits me
and then I see, then I see
today my love, we shall let the world slide
for we, will never be
younger again
Well, I'm tired of the ladies and the stupid excuses
sitting on my ass makes me feel useless
earth accelerate, hurry up and turn that's right
I'm starting to burn
Well I get kinda mad like a (??) crawdad
it's time to throw down, too bad so sad
don't step to me when things don't go as you planned
no, I don't give a damn
And then it hits me
and then I see, then I see
today my love, we shall let the world slide
for we, will never be
younger again, younger again
younger again, younger again
It's easier to hurt than heal
hypocrites they make me ill
young men yearn to turn the tables
that too is a sin
And then it hits me
and then I see, then I see
today my love, we shall let the world slide
for we, will never be
younger again
We all look to the end of a certain social stress
i'm down for that day, but don't forget the progress
of wakening things up the passion understanding
here's to the youth who aren't afraid to put a hand in
And then it hits me
and then I see, then I see
today my love, we shall let the world slide
for we, will never be
younger again, younger again
younger again, younger again
T.V. show still holds me in
thin steel creases my (??)
begging till the end
And then it hits me
and then I see, then I see
today my love, we shall let the world slide
for we, will never be
younger again
Well, I'm tired of the ladies and the stupid excuses
sitting on my ass makes me feel useless
earth accelerate, hurry up and turn that's right
I'm starting to burn
Well I get kinda mad like a (??) crawdad
it's time to throw down, too bad so sad
don't step to me when things don't go as you planned
no, I don't give a damn
And then it hits me
and then I see, then I see
today my love, we shall let the world slide
for we, will never be
younger again, younger again
younger again, younger again
It's easier to hurt than heal
hypocrites they make me ill
young men yearn to turn the tables
that too is a sin
And then it hits me
and then I see, then I see
today my love, we shall let the world slide
for we, will never be
younger again
We all look to the end of a certain social stress
i'm down for that day, but don't forget the progress
of wakening things up the passion understanding
here's to the youth who aren't afraid to put a hand in
And then it hits me
and then I see, then I see
today my love, we shall let the world slide
for we, will never be
younger again, younger again
younger again, younger again

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
this is true 311, and hardly anyone knows about the omaha sessions, so if you havent heard it yet GO GET IT, it is seriously some of the best music ive heard in a long time, and this song is one of my favorites on the cd, let the world slide
