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 wonder of the world is gone I know for sure
All the wonder that I want I found in her
As the whole becomes a part I strike to burn
And no flame returns
Every intuition fails to find it's way
One more table turned around I'm back again
Finding I'm more lost and found when she's not around
When she's not around I feel it coming down
Give me what I could never ask for
Connect me and you could be my chemical now
Give me the drug you know I'm after
Connect me and you could be my chemical
When everybody wants you (The chemical goes slow)
When everybody wants you (The chemical gets)
Slow and
Everybody wants you
So
Slow and
Everybody wants your soul
Give me what I could never ask for
connect me and you could be my chemical NOW
Give me the drug you know I'm after
Connect me and you could be the chemical
You could be the chemical
You could be the chemical
You could be the chemical
You could be the chemicals
All the wonder that I want I found in her
As the whole becomes a part I strike to burn
And no flame returns
Every intuition fails to find it's way
One more table turned around I'm back again
Finding I'm more lost and found when she's not around
When she's not around I feel it coming down
Give me what I could never ask for
Connect me and you could be my chemical now
Give me the drug you know I'm after
Connect me and you could be my chemical
When everybody wants you (The chemical goes slow)
When everybody wants you (The chemical gets)
Slow and
Everybody wants you
So
Slow and
Everybody wants your soul
Give me what I could never ask for
connect me and you could be my chemical NOW
Give me the drug you know I'm after
Connect me and you could be the chemical
You could be the chemical
You could be the chemical
You could be the chemical
You could be the chemicals

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,
FYI WWF Superstar Kane's Theme
This song was supposed to be on the WWF Forceable Entry album but they forgotten to add it and they already released it. This song has only been used once so far by the WWF.
i think ur wrong... i think that this song is only on the canadian wwf forcable entry album, and wasnt put on in the us.. well tahts waht ive heard/read
well you know what!! i just think the song is fuckin awesome!! lol
WWE....WWE....How hard is that to remember? GET THE F OUT!!!
@I_Am_LARGER_THN_LIFE it was WWF before it was WWE so at the time it was WWF.
yeah its a cool song but it doesnt really fit kane cause this song is talking about a girl
"All the wonder that I want I've found in her. "
"Finding I'm more lost than found, When she's not around. When she's not around, I feel it coming down"
but other then that this song a ok song
cya
Well, I love Finger Eleven, but this is by no means some of their best work... this song really has nothing to do with Kane, anyway.
this song is incredible. and finger eleven are one of the BEST bands ever. amazing band live as well.
I think that it wouldnt sound right by itself because it's a version of kane's original music. It takes the melody of that song, but never the less, awesome song.
Well it's cool that everyone likes finger eleven, and knows its Kane's theme on the WWE CD, but to try and give some insight to the meaning. I believe it's about a lost love and the emptiness it leaves. I know...
