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.

How can I put this in a way so as not to offend or unnerve
That there's a rumor goin' all round that you ain't been gettin' served
They say that you ain't you know what
In baby who knows how long
It's hard for me to say what's right
When all I want to do is wrong
Gett off, twenty three positions in a one night stand
Gett off, I'll only call you after if you say I can
Gett off, let a woman be a woman and a man be a man
Gett off, if you want to baby here I am (here I am)
I clocked the jizz from a friend
Of yours named Vanessa Bet (bet)
She said you told her a fantasy
That got her all wet (wet)
Something about a little box with a
Mirror and a tongue inside
What she told me then got me so hot
I knew that we could slide
Gett off, twenty three positions in a one night stand
Gett off, I'll only call you after if you say I can
Gett off, let a woman be a woman and a man be a man
Gett off, if you want to baby here I am (here I am)
Gett off (gett off)
One, two, three, no, little cutie, I ain't drinkin' (gett off)
Scope this, I was just thinkin'
You plus me, what a ride
If you was thinkin' the same
We could continue outside (gett off)
Lay your pretty body against a parkin' meter
Strip your dress down
Like I was strippin' a Peter Paul's Almond Joy
Lemme show you baby I'm a talented boy
Everybody grab a body
Pump it like you want somebody
Gett off (gett off)
So here we, so here we, so here we are, here we are (gett off)
In my paisley crib
Whatcha want to eat? "Ribs"
Ha, toy, I don't serve ribs,
You better be happy that dress is still on
I heard the rip when you sat down
Honey them hips is gone
But that's alright, I clock 'em that way
Remind me of something James used to say
"I like 'em fat"
"I like 'em proud"
"Ya gotta have a mother for me"
Now move your big ass 'round this way
So I can work on that zipper, baby
Tonight your a star
And I'm the big dipper
Na, na, na, na, na, na
(Kick it)

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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”
That’s how men justify themselves when their girls/partners disclose some sort of discomfort. He refers to one of his partner’s friend statement ‘What she told me then got me so hot, I knew that we could slide‘ confirming that his partner’s ‘dirty mind’ gets him very excited.. obviously she should know ‘if you want to baby here I am’. As such, the rumour that it’s going around of her ‘ain't been gettin' served’ lacks of substance as she can get him if she wants to. Maybe that’s the reality or maybe it’s not. If not, why having a female singer saying towards the end ‘Come on’ claiming if she would have allowed him or ask for him, he would have said ‘here I am’. I am imagining she obviously was asking him to be there and she thought that’s shouldn’t be the need to say it.
No pun intended. That’s myself and probably some others’s - guys and/or girls - interpretation. The song is brilliant and I wish if there was a girl singing and getting the same impact and popularity - who knows?. Something to consider and a good reason to keep an open mind on how we classify ‘best songs of XX’ in the future.
