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.
Last night I just wanted to have fun
To go out with my friends
I took my dad's car
I never thought he would find out
But I crashed in a wall, man, I'm dead
I guess it's no use
I'm screwing up every little thing I ever try to do
I'm born to lose, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
God must hate me, cursed me for eternity
God must hate me, maybe you should pray for me
I'm breaking down and you can't save me
I'm stuck in hell and
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Last night I had to study for this test
I forgot, man, I'm dead
And now my brain is bursting out of, of my head
I can't think, I can't breathe
Once again
I guess it's no use
I'm screwing up every little thing I ever try to do
I'm born to lose, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
God must hate me, cursed me for eternity
God must hate me, maybe you should pray for me
I'm breaking down and you can't save me
I'm stuck in hell and
I wanna go home
So what in the world am I supposed to do?
I never did anything to you
So can't you find something else to do?
God must hate me, cursed me for eternity
God must hate me, maybe you should pray for me
I'm breaking down and you can't save me
I'm stuck in hell and
I wanna go home (God must hate me)
I wanna go home (God must hate me)
I wanna go home (God must hate me)
I wanna go home (God must hate me)
I wanna go home
You can't save me
God must hate me now
To go out with my friends
I took my dad's car
I never thought he would find out
But I crashed in a wall, man, I'm dead
I guess it's no use
I'm screwing up every little thing I ever try to do
I'm born to lose, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
God must hate me, cursed me for eternity
God must hate me, maybe you should pray for me
I'm breaking down and you can't save me
I'm stuck in hell and
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Last night I had to study for this test
I forgot, man, I'm dead
And now my brain is bursting out of, of my head
I can't think, I can't breathe
Once again
I guess it's no use
I'm screwing up every little thing I ever try to do
I'm born to lose, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
God must hate me, cursed me for eternity
God must hate me, maybe you should pray for me
I'm breaking down and you can't save me
I'm stuck in hell and
I wanna go home
So what in the world am I supposed to do?
I never did anything to you
So can't you find something else to do?
God must hate me, cursed me for eternity
God must hate me, maybe you should pray for me
I'm breaking down and you can't save me
I'm stuck in hell and
I wanna go home (God must hate me)
I wanna go home (God must hate me)
I wanna go home (God must hate me)
I wanna go home (God must hate me)
I wanna go home
You can't save me
God must hate me now

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
this song is true to my life so much its scary! about a couple of months ago i was at the biggest party ive ever seen. my friends parents were away for theweekend and it was an awesome night and all went 2 plan. an once we cleaned up the place was just as before and his parents came back and didnt have a clue. there was about 200 ppl there id say and it was great. couple of weeks l8r i had a few mates up while my parents were away for a couple of nights. there was about 15 ppl there and the door smashed etc. not deliberatly just far 2 drunk. basically wot seeed harmless turned out a disaster when other ppls life sees 2 run so much smoother than mine
