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.
I won't stop following you
Now help me pray for
The death of everything new
Then we'll fly farther
'Cause you're my girl
And that's alright
If you sting me, I won't mind
We'll stop to rest on the moon
And we'll make a fire
I'll steal a carcass for you
Then feed off the virus
'Cause you're my girl
And that's alright
If you sting me, I won't mind
'Cause you're my girl
And that's alright
If you sting me, I won't mind
(And now look at 'em
Look at 'em now, look at 'em, sting)
(And now look at 'em
Look at 'em now, look at 'em, sting)
(And now look at 'em
Look at 'em now, look at 'em, sting)
(And now look at 'em
Look at 'em now, look at 'em, sting)
I see a red light in June
And I hear crying
You turn newborn baby blue
Now we're all the virus
You're my girl
And that's alright
If you sting me, I won't mind
'Cause you're my girl
And that's alright
If you sting me, I won't mind
(And now look at 'em
Look at 'em now, look at 'em, sting)
(And now look at 'em
Look at 'em now, look at 'em, sting)
(And now look at 'em
Look at 'em now, look at 'em, sting)
(And now look at 'em
Look at 'em now, look at 'em, sting)
(Sting)

Now help me pray for

We'll stop to rest on the moon
And we'll make a fire
I'll steal a carcass for you
Then feed off the virus
'Cause you're my girl
And that's alright
If you sting me, I won't mind
'Cause you're my girl
And that's alright
If you sting me, I won't mind

Look at 'em now, look at 'em, sting)

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
love this song,I love the line "we'll stop to rest on the moon and we'll make fire",is like saying how they can go to a far away cold place and warm each other with the passion they feel for each other...i dunno
He really loves this girl, the thing is is that she's becoming bad but he can't stop her from changing. She's hurting herself, and him in the process: possibly drugs or some kind of sickness relating to a bad habit, due to the RX (a prescription). But he really loves this girl and can't stop being with her. He would do anything for this girl. He would kill for this girl. And if he has to fall in love with the bad part of her to be with her he's willing to do that. But if he changes himself, then he's gonna become bad himself. And then everyone they both make contact with (a child is used here) will be effected by this negative part of the couple. And then the bad things will just spread. But he still doesn't care. He loves her that much.
This reminds me of my ex. I can't seem to get her off my mind. Everytime I was around her, she soothed me. She was kind of like a drug. I was addicted. I never wanted anyone else, just her. Though, we didn't have a kid (Last verse). I still kind of miss her. Oh well, I still love the song. The deftones have a way of calming me.
@deminois hey wow i would like to know if you still think of her or if you ever met again
it means that he loves her so he is oblivious to the pain. that's how love is. sometimes you just get numb, then you just fuck it all up, man. like I AM NOTHING WITHOUT YOU. love=numbness it's part of that love sickness
HEROIN- " i wont stop following you" an addictive drug. "then will fly farther" getting high. "cause your my girl" the heroin. "if you sting me i wont mind" the needle. stop to rest and the moon and will make a fire'' fire and spoon. "red light in june" ambulence or fire department trying to save him from over dose. "new born baby blue" death
@heavy_d19 literally the first person I've found on the net who sees it the same way as I do
@heavy_d19 nice
I think this is as close to a love song as Deftones will ever do. It's a wicked song and i think it's about being infatuated with someone at the start of a relationship, with the virus lyrics tying in with the RX, which if i'm right is a pharmacuticals firm in America.
this song is about chino's wife -
"I dont want to talk about this one, its about my wife." - Chino
There was no baby, thats the color she turns... newborn baby blue.
True, but an aborted baby may also be suggested by the lines, "Now help me pray for / The death of everything new", and "I'll steal a carcass for you".<br /> Though both of those passages clearly have other meanings, too.
Rx is not a company, its just a form doctors use to write perscriptions
ok easy song. oviously about chinos wife as others have said but why these lyrics....Think of a vampire, The beast the sucks life from you to live. think of wife. maybe connection there. Not caring what life she steals from you no care of what she does but more that she love you and that you will do anythign for her.
