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.
Looking through my window
up at you in your doorway,
I can’t believe this is happening.
Everynight we say goodbye and everynight you almost cry,
but now it won’t be every night.
I can see you on the weekends,
but I’m not sure if that’s enough.
And I pray we’ll stay together,
but I don’t think that we need luck.
Just think of me when I’m not around...
If seeing is believing,
then I sure that this won't work.
ICQ and AOL but it will still be hard at first.
No more calling you real early just to hear your voice.
Believe me that I love you,
but I have no other choice.
I’ll see you when I can,
but it might be hard to get home.
I promise you Christmas,
but the rest I just don’t know.
Think of me when I'm not there...
One more time, losing my mind.
Here I go again.
I’m sorry I could not be here for you all the time.
And then the last kiss goodbye
you smile and wipe your tears away
I know this we'll be hard
but we'll be find call me at nine.

Holiday

@[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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
