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?
Take me only for what I am
You've got a right to speak your mind
You've gotta take the stand
No one has the right to say
This is right or that is wrong
It isn't just one way
Find common ground, go in between
Things aren't always what they seem
Someday it'll be alright
Changes happen overnight
People, let's give each other room
If we're gonna work it out
We better make it soon
Love is, love is such a common word
When it's pride we mistake for love
Isn't that absurd
Why always take
The upper hand
It's better to understand
Someday it'll be alright
Changes happen overnight
Someday it'll be alright
Changes happen overnight
(Oye mi canto)
(Oye mi canto)
(Oye mi canto)
I believe in love but with no conditions (oye mi canto)
And giving in sometimes
Doesn't make it submission (oye mi canto)
Hate is so common it's almost tradition (oye mi canto)
Come on let's leave it behind
And make that transition
(Oye mi canto)
(Oye mi canto)

Oye oye oye oye mi canto (oye mi canto)
Oyélo oyélo (oye mi canto)
Me tienes que oír, oye mi canto (oye mi canto)
Oyélo oye mi canto(oye mi canto)
(Oye mi canto)
Oye mi canción es de corazón (oye mi canto)
(Oye mi canto) oye oye mi canto
Oye mi canto
Oye mi canto

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.
