its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Found me dead on the side of the road, barely breathing,
But my soul was seething alone,
From all my guilt and shame
Found you dead inside of your room, barely breathing
But your soul was screaming alone,
It's time to put away your pain
It's time you found out what I've been on about
Well misfortune's plain to see when she's staring back at me
Ms. fortune's plain
When I came to I opened my eyes
And I breathed in all the life I was pushing away
Before I'd go insane
I look through you
And I see something there that you don't see,
If only you'd choose to believe me
You know you're more than just your pain
It's time you found out what I've been on about
It's time you knew,
Those eyes see right through you
The things that we've known,
We've held too much to keep it inside
And hidden in the spaces we've shown
Why run, when there's nothing to hide?
But my soul was seething alone,
From all my guilt and shame
Found you dead inside of your room, barely breathing
But your soul was screaming alone,
It's time to put away your pain
It's time you found out what I've been on about
Well misfortune's plain to see when she's staring back at me
Ms. fortune's plain
When I came to I opened my eyes
And I breathed in all the life I was pushing away
Before I'd go insane
I look through you
And I see something there that you don't see,
If only you'd choose to believe me
You know you're more than just your pain
It's time you found out what I've been on about
It's time you knew,
Those eyes see right through you
The things that we've known,
We've held too much to keep it inside
And hidden in the spaces we've shown
Why run, when there's nothing to hide?

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.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
i love the play on the word "misfortune". this song is clearly about depression and the effects of it...it sounds like he is trying to help out his friend who is depressed, but his friend (or maybe girlfriend) isnt listening
