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.
Please my dear
Walk away from the pain
Don't say a word
To take the beauty of
Our remains
[Chorus]
All day
I will always wait for you
(I will wait for you)
In every way
I dream about a moment with you
(I will wait for you)
Nothing to say
Just trying to find my way to you
All in a day
I realize I may not get over you
Darkness falls on the sound
Of your name
Slowly breathing in
The bible of distinction and love
Our remains
[Chorus: x2]
Walk away from the pain
Don't say a word
To take the beauty of
Our remains
[Chorus]
All day
I will always wait for you
(I will wait for you)
In every way
I dream about a moment with you
(I will wait for you)
Nothing to say
Just trying to find my way to you
All in a day
I realize I may not get over you
Darkness falls on the sound
Of your name
Slowly breathing in
The bible of distinction and love
Our remains
[Chorus: x2]

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Gorgeous song. I think this song is about a woman trying to hold onto the remaining love after a breakup. She tells him she is always waiting for him.
