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.
Long walk of waste
Sad song of days
Long foresaw the evil eyes
Of our gods
Hot meant for me
Be they truth or lies
Steal away one morning gray along the road
Leaves have blown around my throne, my past abode
How my reason rage
Against the gods
Make it sing or make I sigh
Make it fall or make it fly
Against all odds
How I long to feel the love
Leave the barren lands above
Against the gods
To my grave
I'll find my way
Cross the lonely lands below
Void of shame
All foundless faith
I will glad forgo
Ways unfold one morning golden on the road
Trees have grown around my throne, my green abode
How my reason rage
Against the gods
Make is sing or make it sigh
Make it fall or make it fly
Against all odds
How I long to feel the love
Leave the barren lands above
Against the gods
Steal away one morning gray along the road
Leaves have blown around my throne, my past abode
How my reason rage
Against the gods
Make it sing or make I sigh
Make it fall or make it fly
Against all odds
How I long to feel the love
Leave the barren lands above
Against the gods
Sad song of days
Long foresaw the evil eyes
Of our gods
Hot meant for me
Be they truth or lies
Steal away one morning gray along the road
Leaves have blown around my throne, my past abode
How my reason rage
Against the gods
Make it sing or make I sigh
Make it fall or make it fly
Against all odds
How I long to feel the love
Leave the barren lands above
Against the gods
To my grave
I'll find my way
Cross the lonely lands below
Void of shame
All foundless faith
I will glad forgo
Ways unfold one morning golden on the road
Trees have grown around my throne, my green abode
How my reason rage
Against the gods
Make is sing or make it sigh
Make it fall or make it fly
Against all odds
How I long to feel the love
Leave the barren lands above
Against the gods
Steal away one morning gray along the road
Leaves have blown around my throne, my past abode
How my reason rage
Against the gods
Make it sing or make I sigh
Make it fall or make it fly
Against all odds
How I long to feel the love
Leave the barren lands above
Against the gods

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I believe the songs in reference to the Norse Gods (mythological characters of pre-Christian Scandinavia). I think it's about the people of the present day who long to live up to the reverence & legendary status of these Gods.
