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.
Blame it on what you've been through
Blame it on what you're into
Blame it on your religions
Blame it on your Politicians
We've been blowing up
we're the issue
it's our condition
We've been blowing up
we're the issue
Our detonation
we've been blowing up
we're the issue
we're ammunition
we're ammunition
we're ammunition
we are the fuse and ammunition
I have no generation
show me my motivation
One world one desperation
one hope and one salvation.
Look what a mess we've made of love
Look what a mess we've made
we've got ourselves to blame
Look what a bomb we've made of love
Blame it on what you're into
Blame it on your religions
Blame it on your Politicians
We've been blowing up
we're the issue
it's our condition
We've been blowing up
we're the issue
Our detonation
we've been blowing up
we're the issue
we're ammunition
we're ammunition
we're ammunition
we are the fuse and ammunition
I have no generation
show me my motivation
One world one desperation
one hope and one salvation.
Look what a mess we've made of love
Look what a mess we've made
we've got ourselves to blame
Look what a bomb we've made of love

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I think this song means that the youth of today is ammunition for the arguments of people of authority. I mean, when we do somthing bad, (weapons in schools, drug usage statistics, etc etc) it just gives those who want to censor us and control us more ammunition legally. They have a reason to enforce stupid Zero-Tolerance laws and allow metal detector checkpoints in schools and things like that just because they have the statistics to prove that we need them. I think what he's saying here is that we can either blame it on other forces, or we can take on the responsibility of not doing the stupid shit that gives these people power (after all, thats what most of them really want). just my opinion, take it if u like it.
