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 sun that is rising is glistening down on the hill
The pool of confusion is silently still
The thoughts of another keep runnin' through my mind
As I search for the answer, it's never easy to find
The prophet stood on the hill and firmly he gripped his sword
As the angels of wisdom were singing a heavenly chord
So I look back and wonder if I should be asking for more
As a traveller in limbo who's washed up onto the wrong shore
In the morning when I wake up
And the story starts to break up
Then it's plain to see
What's wrong with me
So the curtains they are drawn back
And my mind is simply torn back
To reality, you see, to me, I'm just a misty dreamer
I slipped by the waterslide
And I thought I heard my true love screamin'
So I opened my eyes and shook my head
and I realized I was only dreamin'
So close your eyes and drift away
Tomorrow seems like yesterday for you
Your conscience guided by a light
Your memory won't be here tonight
The sorrow that eyes are showing
Doesn't hide your spirit flowing
So close your eyes and drift away
Tomorrow seems like yesterday for you
Drift away
Tomorrow seems like yesterday for you
The pool of confusion is silently still
The thoughts of another keep runnin' through my mind
As I search for the answer, it's never easy to find
The prophet stood on the hill and firmly he gripped his sword
As the angels of wisdom were singing a heavenly chord
So I look back and wonder if I should be asking for more
As a traveller in limbo who's washed up onto the wrong shore
In the morning when I wake up
And the story starts to break up
Then it's plain to see
What's wrong with me
So the curtains they are drawn back
And my mind is simply torn back
To reality, you see, to me, I'm just a misty dreamer
I slipped by the waterslide
And I thought I heard my true love screamin'
So I opened my eyes and shook my head
and I realized I was only dreamin'
So close your eyes and drift away
Tomorrow seems like yesterday for you
Your conscience guided by a light
Your memory won't be here tonight
The sorrow that eyes are showing
Doesn't hide your spirit flowing
So close your eyes and drift away
Tomorrow seems like yesterday for you
Drift away
Tomorrow seems like yesterday for you

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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.
