its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
When I beat my head against the wall of convention
The blood I taste is everyone's
I fought a battle thought unpopular
For stakes nobody seems to see
Nobody sees but me
one step forward
Two steps back
Come on and try me
my pain is the pain of children
My heart is burning with their shame
When mother cries all day
I'll wipe those tears away
You can't grow up healthy in a house of
for every father holding back the angry fire until five
When it festers on the drive
His boss has shamed him to tears
He should "take it like a man" but he never had a man to tell him
The blood I taste is everyone's
I fought a battle thought unpopular
For stakes nobody seems to see
Nobody sees but me
one step forward
Two steps back
Come on and try me
my pain is the pain of children
My heart is burning with their shame
When mother cries all day
I'll wipe those tears away
You can't grow up healthy in a house of
for every father holding back the angry fire until five
When it festers on the drive
His boss has shamed him to tears
He should "take it like a man" but he never had a man to tell him

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 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"
