Love Is No Big Truth

Kings of Convenience

All I do is sleep all day and think of you
A memory of the cushion life, I'm clinging to
The image of a mutual one, our haven
The somber chords of our song, the fading
Love is no big truth
Driven by our genes
We are simple selfish beings
A symphony that's you
Joyously awaking
The ignorant and sleeping

Passion and its brother hate, they come and go
Could easily be made to stay for longer, though
Many people play this game so willingly
Do I have to be like them, or be lonely?

Love is no big truth
Driven by our genes
We are simple selfish beings
A symphony that's you
Joyously awaking
The ignorant and sleeping

I'll never need it again, again, again
I'll never need it again, again, again
I'll never need it again, again, again
I'll never need it again, again, again
...

    "Another view, of what there is to it. Getting me through it."

    that comes before "I'll never need it..."

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?

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.

Holiday

@[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.
