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.
A new feeling grows inside me
Can't take away the black sky
I'm too afraid 2 use new colors
Wave the older man goodbye
I was drowning in the ocean
I couldn't keep my head up
No one ever helped me fighting
No one ever seemed 2 mind
Close you eyes don't be shy
There's no need 2 shut the light
If you're ok i'll be fine
You know there's something for me
It just needs to be found
It hurts 2 know i'm carwling
Why do I feel so betrayed
Tell me when the sky stops falling
Will there be another day
Can't take away the black sky
I'm too afraid 2 use new colors
Wave the older man goodbye
I was drowning in the ocean
I couldn't keep my head up
No one ever helped me fighting
No one ever seemed 2 mind
Close you eyes don't be shy
There's no need 2 shut the light
If you're ok i'll be fine
You know there's something for me
It just needs to be found
It hurts 2 know i'm carwling
Why do I feel so betrayed
Tell me when the sky stops falling
Will there be another day

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.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
So, let me get this straight. You have feelings for a guy named Todd, but you kiss a guy you've been "curious" about for 4 years and are going on a date with a different guy because "you want to." To be honest it sounds like you don't know what you want. It sounds like you're confused, and in my opinion, jumping around from this guy to the next isn't going to make things any clearer for you. Regarding Todd I would say this. Age doesn't really matter once you get to be a certain age. My girlfriend was 16 and I was 20 when we met, that was 7 years ago. So age differences can still work. The way I would approach the problem of being such good friends is to ask yourself if you could remain close friends with him while you are in a relationship with someone. Could you be in a serious relationship with someone without having betraying feelings or hidden desires for him? I'm not a love or relationship expert by any means, but I'm not even sure that you're ready for any type of relationship at this point. It seems like you like to lead people on and tease them, but aren't really looking for anything substantial. So my advice would be to cool down. Just because someone likes you doesn't mean you are obligated to go on a date with them, and just because you're curious about someone doesn't necessarily justify kissing him either. I understand "doing what you want," but what you want is constantly changing, so you will never find stability by simply following and being led by your whims. Reason should play a very big role in decision making. I would bet that if you keep kissing all your friends, that you will end up with no friends after a while. There's no point in arousing feelings in someone else if there's no intent to act on those feelings afterwards. One kiss can change everything. Almost all friends of the opposite sex have had some type of relationship interest with one another at some time. A kiss will bring all of these feeling to the forefront instead of them remaining under the surface. Happy New Year!
My friends laugh, saying this is my 'slutty stage', but apparently my definition of slutty means kissing and not coitus haha. I think I'm just making up for lost time. And I think I'm pretty open about what I want and what I don't want. I know I am. If I go on a couple dates with a fellow and he seems interested in something serious, I'm very clear: "Listen. I don't want a relationship right now. You're a good person and I'm not going to screw around with that because that's not fair." (Which is why usually I go on two dates and then I have to stop seeing the guy. I know it isn't fair to play with feelings and I know I have to watch myself, because I have a tendency to get carried away.) A couple of weeks ago, I declared that I was going to slow down and try to figure out how to be alone, because I know that is important. I've never been able to have a clear shot with Pear, and I just wanted to know. I feel like it was something I had to find out before I moved on with my life. I'm not moving back home, and who knows what things will be like the next time I come to visit. It seemed as good of a shot as any.<br /> <br /> You're right, though. I don't know what I want. Well... actually, I do know what I want right now. I want to kiss people I want to kiss and I want to try my best not to hurt anyone.
true it's good to be clear before giving someone the wrong idea. <br /> & ya kissing is not slutty! I also want to point out how people call girls slutty if they have slept with a few guys when a lot of guys are very promiscuous & seek out girls at bars/school for a screw or two & that's it. Guys are sluts too, actually generally there are more guy sluts than girl sluts :).
