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.
Take another motherfuckin' hit of LSD,
Let all the love inside the world belong to you,
Well I can't understand just why you went away,
Too young to feel the pain and bitterness of love,
Well I can never understand a motherfuckin' word you'd ever say
And all the people that you hurt came down on you.
And I can't understand just why you went away,
I sat and waited for the day you'd come back home.
But it was all good.
Take a loaded gun and blow my fantasy away,
Turn off the lights and shine the spotlight down on you,
Well I could never understand a motherfuckin' word you'd ever say
And all the people that you hurt came down on you.
And I can't understand just why you went away,
I sat and waited for the day you'd come back home.
But it was all good.
You are my hope, my god, my love, my fear
My God, it's over, it's all good,
'Til the world came crumbling down,
Oh well I said mother it's all good,
Until the world came crumbling down,
Oh well I said mother it's all good,
Until the world came crumbling down,
World came crumbling, crumbling
Well it was all good.
Let all the love inside the world belong to you,
Well I can't understand just why you went away,
Too young to feel the pain and bitterness of love,
Well I can never understand a motherfuckin' word you'd ever say
And all the people that you hurt came down on you.
And I can't understand just why you went away,
I sat and waited for the day you'd come back home.
But it was all good.
Take a loaded gun and blow my fantasy away,
Turn off the lights and shine the spotlight down on you,
Well I could never understand a motherfuckin' word you'd ever say
And all the people that you hurt came down on you.
And I can't understand just why you went away,
I sat and waited for the day you'd come back home.
But it was all good.
You are my hope, my god, my love, my fear
My God, it's over, it's all good,
'Til the world came crumbling down,
Oh well I said mother it's all good,
Until the world came crumbling down,
Oh well I said mother it's all good,
Until the world came crumbling down,
World came crumbling, crumbling
Well it was all good.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Oh, the things we feel when the one we love just doesn't know what to do. They make rash dicisions and do not think about how those dicisions will effect other people. The presence of this person can make us feel accepted and loved. But when that person leaves us for reasons that seem trivial, it tears us apart. If we only knew that love would hurt so so bad... Sometimes I wonder if I knew what would happen before I jumpped into it, would I still have done it. Yes, and I guessing that Scooter would to. The things we think of when we are all alone. Though we can be resentful, we still wish for them back.
