High up on this mountain
Oh the whole world looks so small
All the rivers run away
Slipping in your deep green heart
I drink you as I swim

And I'm sliding, and I'm sliding with you
Slide beneath my skin

Sleek and deep and salty sweet
You open up in me
Just like the snow in summer

High up on this mountain
Oh the whole world looks so small
All the rivers run away
Slipping in your soft white heart
I drink you as I swim

And I'm falling, and I'm falling with you
Fall beneath my skin

Sleek and deep and salty sweet
You come and close in me
Just like the snow in summer
Just like the snow in summer
As it melts into the sea
As it melts into the sea

Snow in summer
Snow in summer
Snow in summer

    This song is a B side of "Just Like Heaven" and I think that the two songs go hand in hand. Robert Smith was never fully satisfied with this song (he said the lyrics didn't meld just right), but for a B side, it really rocks. "Just Like Heaven" was kind of about a dream girl that had vanished (or died)--perhaps this one is about that similar love when it was still around and alive.

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

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
Lord Huron
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"
