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.
She's perfect in her own way
Smoke rings rising to the winter grey
She's perfect in her own way
Shining, stepping off a silver train
Now I'm getting a sick taste in my mouth
From the medicine that I can't keep down
She's amazing in her own way
Always moving to a better place
She's amazing in her own way
Laughing, you won't get to her weaker traits
Now I'm getting a sick taste in my mouth
From the medicine that I can't keep down
You know time heals nothing by itself
I see that ever so clearly now
She looks a little bit different now
Maybe a little bit softer round her eyes
Just a little bit different now
Maybe a little bit softer round her eyes
The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center
Take it slow and make it softer
Easy, likes it nice and steady
The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center
Take it slow and make it softer
Easy, likes it nice and steady
The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center
Take it slow and make it softer
Easy, likes it nice and steady
The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center
Take it slow and make it softer
Easy, likes it nice and steady
Now I'm getting that sick taste in my mouth
From the medicine that I can't keep down
You know time heals nothing by itself
I see that ever so clearly now
The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center
Take it slow and make it softer
Easy, likes it nice and steady
Smoke rings rising to the winter grey
She's perfect in her own way
Shining, stepping off a silver train
Now I'm getting a sick taste in my mouth
From the medicine that I can't keep down
She's amazing in her own way
Always moving to a better place
She's amazing in her own way
Laughing, you won't get to her weaker traits
Now I'm getting a sick taste in my mouth
From the medicine that I can't keep down
You know time heals nothing by itself
I see that ever so clearly now
She looks a little bit different now
Maybe a little bit softer round her eyes
Just a little bit different now
Maybe a little bit softer round her eyes
The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center
Take it slow and make it softer
Easy, likes it nice and steady
The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center
Take it slow and make it softer
Easy, likes it nice and steady
The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center
Take it slow and make it softer
Easy, likes it nice and steady
The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center
Take it slow and make it softer
Easy, likes it nice and steady
Now I'm getting that sick taste in my mouth
From the medicine that I can't keep down
You know time heals nothing by itself
I see that ever so clearly now
The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center
Take it slow and make it softer
Easy, likes it nice and steady

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.

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”

“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.
