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 town was built on miles of hope
And I dare you to give me one reason to stay
And I won't go away.
So far you've only dared me once
And I think we know that's not even close enough.
Not enough for me to stay.
It costs so much I know,
But I guess I need to know
What it would have felt like to be right.
But I'm getting tired all over again
So hurry up and get here
Because I'm still waiting,
Just like I've always been.
I'm getting tired of standing around,
Just sitting here and waiting to be found.
Same old shit just different day.
I'll wait around for one more day
But I know that's what I will always say
Will this ever be OK?
It costs so much I know
But I guess I need to know
What it would have felt like to be right
Well I'm getting tired all over again
So hurry up and get here
Because I'm still waiting
Just like I've always been
It costs so much I know
But I guess I need to know
What it would have felt like to be right
Well I'm getting tired all over again
So hurry up and get here
Because I'm still waiting
Just like I've always been
Hey now, we'll be around for one more day
Hey now, we'll be around for one more day
I will always worry about you
I will always stick up for you
I will always worry about you
I will always stick up for you
And I dare you to give me one reason to stay
And I won't go away.
So far you've only dared me once
And I think we know that's not even close enough.
Not enough for me to stay.
It costs so much I know,
But I guess I need to know
What it would have felt like to be right.
But I'm getting tired all over again
So hurry up and get here
Because I'm still waiting,
Just like I've always been.
I'm getting tired of standing around,
Just sitting here and waiting to be found.
Same old shit just different day.
I'll wait around for one more day
But I know that's what I will always say
Will this ever be OK?
It costs so much I know
But I guess I need to know
What it would have felt like to be right
Well I'm getting tired all over again
So hurry up and get here
Because I'm still waiting
Just like I've always been
It costs so much I know
But I guess I need to know
What it would have felt like to be right
Well I'm getting tired all over again
So hurry up and get here
Because I'm still waiting
Just like I've always been
Hey now, we'll be around for one more day
Hey now, we'll be around for one more day
I will always worry about you
I will always stick up for you
I will always worry about you
I will always stick up for you

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
