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?
Verse One: Puff Daddy
Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show
I laced the track, you locked the flow
So far from hangin on the block for dough
Notorious they got to know that
Life ain't always what it seems to be
Words can't express what you mean to me
Even though you're gone, we still a team
Through your family, I fill your dreams
In the future, can't wait to see
If you open up the gates for me
Reminisce some time, the night they took my friend
Try to black it out, but it plays again
When it's real, feelings hard to conceal
Can't imagine all the pain I feel
I'd give anything to hear half your breath
I know you're living you life -- after death
Chorus: Faith Evans
Every step I take, Every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray -- I'll be missing you
Thinking of the day, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break -- I'll be missing you
Verse Two: Puff Daddy
It's kinda hard with you not around
Know you in heaven smiling down
Watching us while we pray for you
Every day we pray for you
Til the day we meet again
In my heart is where I'll keep you friend
Memories give me the strength I need to proceed
The strength I need to believe
My thoughts B.I.G. I just can't define
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
Us in the 6th, shopping for new clothes and kicks
You and me taking flicks, making hits
Stages they received you on
I still can't believe you're gone
I'd give anything to hear half your breath
I know your living you life -- after death
Chorus
[Faith Evans]
Somebody tell me why, on that morning
when this life is over
I know -- I'll see your face
Outro: 112
Every night I pray, every step I take
Every move I make, every single day
(repeat 3X)
Every move I make
Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show
I laced the track, you locked the flow
So far from hangin on the block for dough
Notorious they got to know that
Life ain't always what it seems to be
Words can't express what you mean to me
Even though you're gone, we still a team
Through your family, I fill your dreams
In the future, can't wait to see
If you open up the gates for me
Reminisce some time, the night they took my friend
Try to black it out, but it plays again
When it's real, feelings hard to conceal
Can't imagine all the pain I feel
I'd give anything to hear half your breath
I know you're living you life -- after death
Chorus: Faith Evans
Every step I take, Every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray -- I'll be missing you
Thinking of the day, when you went away

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.

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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
This song is about the murder of Notorious B.I.G. and the ensuing pain that Puff Daddy felt following his friends death. Musically, this song is a remix of the Police hit "Every breath you take".
this is one of the only rap songs which I truely like, it is really good and meaningfull.
But, puffdaddy did just steal parts of the song from "the police - every breath I take"
@heartless__x3 he didn't take parts from the song "every breath I take" by the police <br /> "the police" actually took pars of THIS song and put it into their own because this song came out in 1997 and the song "every breath I take'' came out in 1983 which was after this song came out
This sorry excuse for an artist needs to quit stealing other s music and write some of his own!! IE...Led Zeppelin and The Police
this song sucks and so does "puffy". coon tunes suck all around and should be banned forever. yeah. rap blows long live country!
This song means sooo much to me b/c my friend just died Saturday,he was like my big brother.He commited suicide and we played this at his funeral.Everytime I listen to this song I think of him and I cry. R.I.P Brody Paul!I love and miss you sooooooo effin much.
@A&F Prep my teacher died a couples weeks ago so now when i hear this song i cry <br /> <br /> i can relate to what your going through even though it wasn't my best friend who died it was my teacher
i really like this song, ive heard the police version but this one really hits home. its a good song and i agree ^ ^ ^ its one of the best remakes i've heard.
sting owns 100% of the publishing royalties. and it's not stealing if you have permission. so take this song for what it's worth instead of bashing it for being "stolen".
Its the anniversary month of my daughters death. The chorus of this song hits home.....I miss her so much. She was only seven when she left this world. I think anyone who has lost someone close to them can relate to this song. Its one the the only remade songs that I prefer over the original.
ööö
i usually NEVER listen to rap/R&B but i must say this song is good. I dont thing you realize how perfect it really is until a close friend dies and then this song hits so close to home its scary. ANyways i applaud puff daddy on this one.
