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?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
You built me up with your wishing hell
I didn't have to sell you
You threw your money in the pissing well
You do just what they tell you
Repent, that's what I'm talking about
I shed the skin to feed the fake
Repent, that's what I'm talking about
Whose mistake am I, anyway?
Cut the head off
Grows back hard
I am the hydra
Now you'll see your star
Prick your finger, it is done
The moon has now eclipsed the sun
Angel has spread its wings
The time has come for bitter things
Prick your finger, it is done
The moon has now eclipsed the sun
Angel has spread its wings
The time has come for bitter things
Repent (that's what he's talking about)
I shed the skin to feed the fake
Repent (that's what he's talking about)
Whose mistake am I, anyway?
Cut the head off
Grows back hard
I am the hydra
Now you'll see your star
Hey, hey, hey, hey
The time has come, it is quite clear
Our antichrist is almost here
The time has come, it is quite clear
Our antichrist is almost here
The time has come, it is quite clear
Our antichrist is almost here
Cut the head off
Grows back hard
I am the hydra
Now you'll see your star
Hey, hey, hey, hey
When you are suffering know that I have betrayed you
When you are suffering know that I have betrayed you
When you are suffering know that I have betrayed you
When you are suffering know that I have betrayed you
When you are suffering know that I have betrayed you
When you are suffering know that I have betrayed you
When you are suffering know that I have betrayed you
When you are suffering know that I have betrayed you
Hey, hey, hey, hey
You built me up with your wishing hell
I didn't have to sell you
You threw your money in the pissing well
You do just what they tell you
Repent, that's what I'm talking about
I shed the skin to feed the fake
Repent, that's what I'm talking about
Whose mistake am I, anyway?
Cut the head off
Grows back hard
I am the hydra
Now you'll see your star
Prick your finger, it is done
The moon has now eclipsed the sun
Angel has spread its wings
The time has come for bitter things
Prick your finger, it is done
The moon has now eclipsed the sun
Angel has spread its wings
The time has come for bitter things
Repent (that's what he's talking about)

Our antichrist is almost here
The time has come, it is quite clear
Our antichrist is almost here
Cut the head off

Hey, hey, hey, hey
When you are suffering know that I have betrayed you
When you are suffering know that I have betrayed you
When you are suffering know that I have betrayed you

When you are suffering know that I have betrayed you
When you are suffering know that I have betrayed you
When you are suffering know that I have betrayed you
When you are suffering know that I have betrayed you

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.

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.

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.
First of all Jesus Christ told us it is under the earth so there is no confusion on that. You call yourself a christian but you listen to manson. Oh wait your not a Christian anyway because your not Catholic. You have to face the facts about 80% of this world has sold their souls to the devil. And I'll bet you will be listining to his music, singing along with the lyrics when they really are blasphemys aganst the Faith that you claim to belong to. Don't say I'm hating you because the road you are choosing will lead you right to hell.
"Repent therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be wiped away,"
Acts 3, 19 Convert to the Catholic Church, man.
haha oh wait, you're not a christian anyway because you're not catholic? hah that was both ignorant and biast. <br /> everyone on this page? if you're not catholic like this guy is, you're gonna have a bad day. hah we all have to believe EXACTLY what this guy wants you to because, he is catholic. if not, he'll make fun of you and tell you you're going to hell. <br /> You, my dear football loving meathead, are exactly the kind of person that inspired the singer of this band to become what he is. hypocritical, self-righteous, and completely discriminitory to anyone who doesn't have the same exact beliefs you do. how do you think you look in your gods eyes? will he be pleased that the only thing you've done with your life is bitch at other people for not believing the same way? for that matter? how do you know your god exists? because a book told you? because millions of people believe the same thing? that just makes you a sheep. herded by false hope and fear of death. you are definatly somebody to look up to philadephia. i hope your death shows you more than you know now.
