Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Here's my outlet loud as hell
Never weak in your face
It's our release see my friends bouncing with me
Groove aggression screaming depression
Once again you can't help staring
Hearing what comes out from fearing no one
This is raw emotion
Oh my god here we go again
This is raw emotion
See my friends bouncing with me
Oh my god here we go again
Here's your outlet loud as hell
Never weak in my face
It's your release see my friends bouncing with me
Groove aggression screaming depression
Once again you can't help staring
Hearing what comes out from fearing
No one this is raw emotion
Oh my God here we go again
This is raw emotion
Oh my God here we go again
We groove together loud as hell never weak
Bounce
This is raw emotion
See my friends bouncing with me
Oh my God here we go again
This is raw emotion
See my friends bouncing with me
Oh my god here we go again
We groove together
Loud as hell never weak
Bounce
Never weak in your face
It's our release see my friends bouncing with me
Groove aggression screaming depression
Once again you can't help staring
Hearing what comes out from fearing no one
This is raw emotion
Oh my god here we go again
This is raw emotion
See my friends bouncing with me
Oh my god here we go again
Here's your outlet loud as hell
Never weak in my face
It's your release see my friends bouncing with me
Groove aggression screaming depression
Once again you can't help staring
Hearing what comes out from fearing
No one this is raw emotion
Oh my God here we go again
This is raw emotion
Oh my God here we go again
We groove together loud as hell never weak
Bounce
This is raw emotion
See my friends bouncing with me
Oh my God here we go again
This is raw emotion
See my friends bouncing with me
Oh my god here we go again
We groove together
Loud as hell never weak

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

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.
Whatever happened to them?
