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.
My chick is driving me crazy
She thinks that I'm lazy
Just because I'm good at nothing all day
My baby don't get it
So my job, I quit it
Bust my ass,
Hell I barely get paid
People like to put me down
And just because I hang around
Don't they understand it's my way?
[Chorus]
Everybody tries to break me
Say they love me when they hate me
Baby you just can't bring me down
I've seen long and lonely days
And I have lost and found my ways
So baby you just can't bring me down
Yeah, bring me down
Baby I'm leaving
You've got my heart bleeding
So I'm taking the easier way out
The angel in my head
Is now the devil in my bed
If my walls could talk they would shout
Baby you can talk and talk
The hurt you caused, it just don't stop
I think I'm going out of my brain
[Chorus]
I got a car, it go fast
Cute fuzzy dice up on the dash
Got a bumper sticker, just say "peace"
Keep a gun under my seat
To protect me from the pain
Should your words get in my brain
Can't you love me just the same
Can't you love me just the
[Chorus]
She thinks that I'm lazy
Just because I'm good at nothing all day
My baby don't get it
So my job, I quit it
Bust my ass,
Hell I barely get paid
People like to put me down
And just because I hang around
Don't they understand it's my way?
[Chorus]
Everybody tries to break me
Say they love me when they hate me
Baby you just can't bring me down
I've seen long and lonely days
And I have lost and found my ways
So baby you just can't bring me down
Yeah, bring me down
Baby I'm leaving
You've got my heart bleeding
So I'm taking the easier way out
The angel in my head
Is now the devil in my bed
If my walls could talk they would shout
Baby you can talk and talk
The hurt you caused, it just don't stop
I think I'm going out of my brain
[Chorus]
I got a car, it go fast
Cute fuzzy dice up on the dash
Got a bumper sticker, just say "peace"
Keep a gun under my seat
To protect me from the pain
Should your words get in my brain
Can't you love me just the same
Can't you love me just the
[Chorus]

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

@[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.
The song is really straight forward...no matter the day of the week, there will always be people that hate ya. Its Poison's way of saying screw you!
