its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
She came from Heaven well there's no point belaboring that
I've seen some trouble and I must admit that I'm in demand
I confront rejection with magnetic good intentions yet
Hey Jack Get back in fact Don't do that
I act sharp
But feel uncertain
'cause next time
It could be curtains
Evangeline
Conspirator so fine
Lend me your faith 'cause mine is broken
Compared to mine
What is your crime Evangeline
Now just to be certain let's be sure to set the record straight
I could use an angel but I don't intend to split up the take
Never go for treason but I got reasons that don't warrant debate
My acts intact and in fact you're not all that
You act sure
But you're uncertain
'cause next time
It could be curtains
Evangeline
Conspirator so fine
Lend me your faith 'cause mine is broken
Compared to mine
What is your crime Evangeline
Well there's no use turning back
No use turning back
It's already much too late
When the house is burning
Evangeline
Conspirator so fine
Lend me your faith 'cause mine is broken
Compared to mine
What is your crime Evangeline
I've seen some trouble and I must admit that I'm in demand
I confront rejection with magnetic good intentions yet
Hey Jack Get back in fact Don't do that
I act sharp
But feel uncertain
'cause next time
It could be curtains
Evangeline
Conspirator so fine
Lend me your faith 'cause mine is broken
Compared to mine
What is your crime Evangeline
Now just to be certain let's be sure to set the record straight
I could use an angel but I don't intend to split up the take
Never go for treason but I got reasons that don't warrant debate
My acts intact and in fact you're not all that
You act sure
But you're uncertain
'cause next time
It could be curtains
Evangeline
Conspirator so fine
Lend me your faith 'cause mine is broken
Compared to mine
What is your crime Evangeline
Well there's no use turning back
No use turning back
It's already much too late
When the house is burning
Evangeline
Conspirator so fine
Lend me your faith 'cause mine is broken
Compared to mine
What is your crime Evangeline

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.

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.
The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
This "cuz" is nonsense. Lets rather focus our energy on more meaningful things like INTERPRETING this fucking song.
Some makeshift ideas of mine: Maybe this song talking about young love and the insecurities both sexes experience when first dealing with their emotions.
Actually I think my interpretation is pure shit and doesn't apply well to the lyrics. Hey, at least I tried.
