The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
"You must be the seed. Descend into the earth.
Searching for the union of death and then rebirth."
But I need love. It is patience it is kindness.
I need love. It is rain after the dryness.
I need love. Sister Wisdom help me see
It's the one thing that I need.
The only thing that I need.
"The Harvester is near. His blade is on your skin.
To plant a new beginning." Well then let the cut begin.
But I need love. It is patience, it is kindness.
I need love. It is rain after the dryness.
I need love. Sister Wisdom, help me see
It's the one thing that I need.
The only thing that I need.
"The Harvester is near. His blade is on your skin.
To plant a new beginning." Well then let the cut begin.
Let the cut begin.
Searching for the union of death and then rebirth."
But I need love. It is patience it is kindness.
I need love. It is rain after the dryness.
I need love. Sister Wisdom help me see
It's the one thing that I need.
The only thing that I need.
"The Harvester is near. His blade is on your skin.
To plant a new beginning." Well then let the cut begin.
But I need love. It is patience, it is kindness.
I need love. It is rain after the dryness.
I need love. Sister Wisdom, help me see
It's the one thing that I need.
The only thing that I need.
"The Harvester is near. His blade is on your skin.
To plant a new beginning." Well then let the cut begin.
Let the cut begin.

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.

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.

@[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.
Poetry - pure and simple and splendid.
wow. this song is awesome. I think it means that something (or someone) must end (or die) before it can start new, and to get through that transformation, you need love.
I would suggest this is a biblical song, 1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. I would say "You" is Jesus as it says searching for union of death and then rebirth. And the suggestion somebody must die to create a new beginning is totally the crucifixion and resurrection.
this song is about being a cutter. She cuts herself because she needs love. She wishes to die and be born again to possibly make life better.
"You must be the seed Descend into the earth Searching for the union of death And then rebirth,"
"The Harvester is near His blade is on your skin To plant a new beginning,"
Not sure this really means physical death and not sure the second part means she's a cutter.
simtech got the biblical reference for love, but the idea of a Harvester is biblical too: The harvest is a metaphor, not only for the end times of gathering together the "faithful" but also in a sense of how our actions or words are like seeds in this life... When we speak into a persons life or act on their behalf, we are planting seeds that may grow into something that can eventually be "harvested". There are many other agricultural metaphors in the bible that stand for growth in a person's life.
anikaconnor got it right... the death in this is more about death in a sense of letting parts of yourself die so that the good parts can grow. It's renewal and transformation. And the way to that transformation is love. It's said that "God is Love" so I surmise that God in the Harvester. The singer "dies to her self" so that God can grow new life in her. That can be a painful process, so it's like cutting (pruning if you will) but more of a metaphorical cutting of the heart.
