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 little bit of guitar
A little bit of truck
A little bit of hound dog
And a little bit of luck
A little bit of bacon
A little bit of beans
A little bit of you lovin' up on me
A little bit of how it supposed to be
A little bit of life
A little bit of backseat
A little bit of moon
A little bit of radio, a goin' boom, boom, boom
A little bit of sugar
A little bit of spice
A little bit of nasty
A little bit of nice
A little bit of how it supposed to be
A little bit of life
I breath in
I breath out
Yes, sleepin' all night with the windows down
Up in the mornin', stirrin' around
Drink a pot of coffee, and I head off to town
Work, work, work
All day long, crank it up, back it up, bring it on home
Supper on the table and I eat me a bite
Then we snuggle on the porch by the pale moon light
A little bit of me and you doin' alright
A little bit of life
A little bit of tractor
A little bit of farm
A little bit of cornfield
A little bit of barn
A little bit of come on
A little bit of play
A little bit of yee haw in the hay
A Dixie cup
A homemade wine
A little bit of life
I breath in
I breath out
Yes, sleepin' all night with the windows down
Up in the mornin', stirrin' around
Drink a pot of coffee, and I head off to town
Work, work, work
All day long, crank it up, back it up, bring it on home
Supper on the table and I eat me a bite
Then we snuggle on the porch by the pale moon light
A little bit of me and you doin' alright
A little bit of life
A little bit of back porch
A little bit of swing
A little bit of wind chimes goin' ding-a-ling
A little bit of TV
A little bit of couch
Popcorn smellin' up the house
Ala mode on a little slice of homemade pie
A little bit of Life
I breath in
I breath out
Yes, sleepin' all night with the windows down
Up in the mornin', stirrin' around
Drink a pot of coffee, and I head off to town
Work, work, work
All day long, crank it up, back it up, bring it on home
Supper on the table and I eat me a bite
Then we snuggle on the porch by the pale moon light
A little bit of me and you doin' alright
A little bit of life
A little bit of me and you doin' alright
A little bit of life

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song

Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
A little bit of a great song.
