its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Now's your moment to shine
Don't let it pass you by
As the wind spins you around
The clock is winding down to the floor
As we fall, i'm having such a good time, as you're mine
As the minutes melt away it's never, forever, though it could be
Will you dance with me, hold my hand
Kiss me softly into belief
Think of how you feel and what I said
Kiss me softly into belief
Let yourself find the way
No need to be afraid
Of the world that surrounds you
It's not meant to pull you down
Don't let it pass you by
As the wind spins you around
The clock is winding down to the floor
As we fall, i'm having such a good time, as you're mine
As the minutes melt away it's never, forever, though it could be
Will you dance with me, hold my hand
Kiss me softly into belief
Think of how you feel and what I said
Kiss me softly into belief
Let yourself find the way
No need to be afraid
Of the world that surrounds you
It's not meant to pull you down

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

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.

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.
I love this song. Astoria is so tight. I feel this was about this girl. Just want her to hold my hand and kiss me into belief. And I think the second part relates to me more and how I need to find my own way.
i've been listening to them since they were Up For Grabs.. and there still one of my favorites.
Sounds like it's about a relationship that is too special to last, or a certain night or something. Something that seems to special to last.
