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.
Oh, ooh baby there's something that I gotta tell you
Think that you should know what's on my mind
And ooh, baby, I'm feeling our situation
It's gettin' stronger and we want it
But I gotta take my time
See there's so much about you that I want to explore
Physical attraction, we just can't ignore it (no)
But before we go too far across the line
Gotta really make sure that I'm sure
Slow down, babe
Let's take our time (slow down, babe)
Slow down, babe
If you don't mind (baby, slow down)
Slow down, babe
'Fore we make this move
Slow down, babe (before we make this move)
Baby, slow down (I think it's really to soon)
Ooh baby, it's like I've known you forever
My medulla obligata
Is electrified
Ooh baby
Whenever were alone together (whenever we're alone together)
I'm bout' to explode and it feels so right
But I gotta take my time, yeah
See there's so much about you that I want to explore
Physical attraction, we just can't ignore it (no)
But before we go too far across the line
Gotta really make sure that I'm sure, oh
Slow down, babe
Let's take our time (slow down, babe)
Slow down, babe (slow down, baby)
If you don't mind (baby, slow down)
Slow down, babe (you're feeling me)
'Fore we make this move (I'm feeling you too)
Slow down, babe (but before we make this move)
Baby, slow down (I think it's really to soon, soon, yeah)
See I know what is best 'cause I've been here before
Gave myself to someone for all the wrong reasons (reasons)
But this time around, I don't want to do that again
I just wanna make this the way that I've dreamed of
So baby, you got to
Slow down, babe (I'm feeling you)
Let's take our time (ya feeling me too)
Slow down, babe (but before we make this move)
If you don't mind (no, it's really too soon)
Slow down, babe (slow down, babe)
'Fore we make this move (you've got to slow down, baby)
Slow down, babe ('cause before we make this move)
Baby, slow down (I think it's really to soon, yeah)
Slow down
You got to slow down
You got to slow down
Baby, slow down
You got to slow down
You got to slow down
You've got to slow down
Think that you should know what's on my mind
And ooh, baby, I'm feeling our situation
It's gettin' stronger and we want it
But I gotta take my time
See there's so much about you that I want to explore
Physical attraction, we just can't ignore it (no)
But before we go too far across the line
Gotta really make sure that I'm sure
Slow down, babe
Let's take our time (slow down, babe)

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.
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.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
