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.
How can I tell you
That I love you,
I love you
But I can't think of right words to say
I long to tell you
That I'm always thinking of you...
I'm always thinking of you,
But my words just blow away,
Just blow away
It always ends up to one thing, honey
And I can't think of right words to say
Wherever I am girl,
I'm always walking with you
I'm always walking with you,
But I look and you're not there
Whoever I'm with,
I'm always, always talking to you
I'm always talking to you,
And I'm sad that you can't hear,
Sad that you can't hear
It always ends up to one thing, honey,
When I look and you're not there
I need to know you,
Need to feel my arms around you
Feel my arms surround you,
Like a sea around a shore
Each night and day I pray,
In hope that I might find you,
In hope that I might find you,
Because heart's can do no more
Can do no more
It always ends up to one thing, honey,
Still I kneel upon the floor
How can I tell you
That I love you,
I love you
But I can't think of right words to say
I long to tell you
That I'm always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you....
It always ends up to one thing, honey
And I can't think of right words to say
That I love you,
I love you
But I can't think of right words to say
I long to tell you
That I'm always thinking of you...
I'm always thinking of you,
But my words just blow away,
Just blow away
It always ends up to one thing, honey
And I can't think of right words to say
Wherever I am girl,
I'm always walking with you
I'm always walking with you,
But I look and you're not there
Whoever I'm with,
I'm always, always talking to you
I'm always talking to you,
And I'm sad that you can't hear,
Sad that you can't hear
It always ends up to one thing, honey,
When I look and you're not there
I need to know you,
Need to feel my arms around you
Feel my arms surround you,
Like a sea around a shore
Each night and day I pray,
In hope that I might find you,
In hope that I might find you,
Because heart's can do no more
Can do no more
It always ends up to one thing, honey,
Still I kneel upon the floor
How can I tell you
That I love you,
I love you
But I can't think of right words to say
I long to tell you
That I'm always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you....
It always ends up to one thing, honey
And I can't think of right words to say

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Amazing

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 always thought his lyrics were "I need to know you, need to feel my arms around you Feel my arms surround you, like a sea around a shore". Surround not around in the second line. A small point but worth pointing out.
