High life
What's the season of love if you can't have everything
what's the reason of love if you can lose everything
What's the meaning in a crime? It's a crime if anything.
What's the meaning of love?It's a grand, it's a grand.
How can a culture can forget it's plan of yesterday
and you swear it's not a trend, doesn't matter anyways
there's no need to talk to friends, nothing new is everyday.
you could shit upon the stairs, you'll be friends
All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly.
Should it subtlely irritate, keep it movin' equally.
All I know is just the fact, where the world is nowadays
An idea is what we lack, doesn't matter anyway
All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly
Still the son will imitate, keep it fallin' equally
All i know is just the facts, where the world is nowadays
An idea is what we lack, doesn't matter anyway
what's the reason of love if you can lose everything
What's the meaning in a crime? It's a crime if anything.
What's the meaning of love?It's a grand, it's a grand.
How can a culture can forget it's plan of yesterday
and you swear it's not a trend, doesn't matter anyways
there's no need to talk to friends, nothing new is everyday.
you could shit upon the stairs, you'll be friends
All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly.
Should it subtlely irritate, keep it movin' equally.
All I know is just the fact, where the world is nowadays
An idea is what we lack, doesn't matter anyway
All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly
Still the son will imitate, keep it fallin' equally
All i know is just the facts, where the world is nowadays
An idea is what we lack, doesn't matter anyway

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.
Fast Car

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

whoever thinks led zeppelin is a trend needs to get their heads checked, remember that they did start from humble beginings like nirvana as well. u must be thinking of their "glam" days, but then you dont remember nirvana for the whole nevermind/teen spirit trend do you?, you hypocrite!@!..by the way, these lyrics are wrong, its hard to tell exactly what kurt is mumbling, but if you look in any books these are not the lyrics, for example, this song is a direct rejection aimed at people who only liked teen spirit and such, u know the trend part, the same people that beat kurt up that were buying his music because it was the trend. theirs also a part where he says "you could shit upon the stage, they'll be fans, they'll be fans" not "...upon the stairs, you'll be friends"??? what the fuck is that, who wrote this? also note that nirvana was influenced by led zeppelin, notice the covers on the new box set, and they had similar influences like leadbelly. this song is a tribute sorta, kurt did just think it sounded like a led zeppelin song and an aerosmith song combined, hence the name. for anybody posting on nirvana, i'd recomend reading some books such as "come as you are:a biography of nirvana" or "heavier than heaven" or anything, just stop being idiots ranting on about what you dont know, thinking that you do. You are the "kids that will eat it up, if it's packaged properly". kurt is also saying in this song that "an idea is what we lack" as in the repetition of hairmetal bands that nirvana and other "grunge" bands thankfully eliminated for us. keep in mind that this album is all b-sides and songs aimed at getting rid of the fans that only liked nirvana for teen spirit
