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.
I want to live in the pretty sun
But daylight just makes me numb
So I cover up my stars with velvet drapes that kill rockstars,
Change my mood lick my wounds.
Trust will lead us to the truth
Drown my self in misery
Sleep with my enemy
Destroyed my destiny
Erase the memory
Of you,
Open my self to reveal my wounds and I find the memory of you.
I want to die on darkest night when there is none left to fight
Fill my bed with leopard fur
Think of you inside of her
For my latest sin until I'm happy in my skin.
Open my self to reveal my wounds and I find the memory of you
I ache for you
I ache for us, I pray for you
I pray for us, I wait for you
I wait deny thy lover and refute thy name first,
Last and always, when will you tell me the truth?
When will you tell you the truth?
When will you tell me the truth?
When you will you tell you...
My revenge on you will not kill you it will make you want to kill yourself.
But daylight just makes me numb
So I cover up my stars with velvet drapes that kill rockstars,
Change my mood lick my wounds.
Trust will lead us to the truth
Drown my self in misery
Sleep with my enemy
Destroyed my destiny
Erase the memory
Of you,
Open my self to reveal my wounds and I find the memory of you.
I want to die on darkest night when there is none left to fight
Fill my bed with leopard fur
Think of you inside of her
For my latest sin until I'm happy in my skin.
Open my self to reveal my wounds and I find the memory of you
I ache for you
I ache for us, I pray for you
I pray for us, I wait for you
I wait deny thy lover and refute thy name first,
Last and always, when will you tell me the truth?
When will you tell you the truth?
When will you tell me the truth?
When you will you tell you...
My revenge on you will not kill you it will make you want to kill yourself.

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.

@[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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
it seems the song is about her wanting to deny and forget a mad lover. Doing whatever she can to just push the thought of them away. and also about finding herself and accepting her self after she no longer has this lover which she was probebly dependent on.
I think this and Miss Ann Thrope are probably my favourite My Ruin songs...it's so good damnit!
"My revenge on you will not kill you...it will make you want to kill yourself!" Ahh man. That's some good shit.
Anyways, as for an actual interpretation of the song...I agree with Bloodlust in that she is trying to forget about a former lover. This person is with someone else and she's feeling bitter about it, and apparently they never gave her any real sense of closure after the breakup and left alot of things unanswered...and then she decides that she can't forget about them so she's gonna kick their ass in some form or fashion.
RAWR just listen to the song.
I think this song is about Burton C Bell who Tairrie used to date. I think that most of the songs on the Speak and Destroy album are about him, especially June 10th. Tairrie hinted at this in an interview anyway.
