So I won't hear..
Unless you tell me to
And I won't see..
Unless I look for you (oh)

'Cause my opinions
They don't mean that much to me
So if they're clashing
I'll trash them happily

Let me fall through your cracks again
But you only notice now and then
'Cause I've made this mistake before
I was only comin' back for more

So close your door
I'm back for more (oh)

So don't be fooled
By what you see
'Cause I fully realize
What's happening to me (yes)

Apologies
Well I don't know what else to say
It was never meant to be
But I had fun anyway

Let me fall through your cracks again
And you only notice now and then
Well I've made this mistake before
I was only comin' back for more

So close your door
I'm back for more (oh)

(Yeah) Let me fall through your cracks again
But you only notice now and then
So I've made this mistake before
I was only comin' back for more

So close your door
I'm back for more
Close your door
I'm back for more
Close your door
I'm back for more

    A man constantly going back to a woman he knows will only break him down, yet he keeps returning to her for some reason not mentioned in the lyrics.

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.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Blue
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
