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.
On a cold winters night
Your wrapped up in my arms so tight
You seem restless
and when your memories get you down
and when he is not around
I know everything about you
I am everywhere around you
It's over you are gone
I'll never think about anyone..
Days breaking, so fast
and I think I tell you this before I go (before I go)
As our love grows cold, I just want you to know
That I'll be thinking about you
and I'll be here tonight, with you sitting by my side
there we are
on a cold winter's night..
As you lay ready to go
feeling lonely cause you know
that everythings about to change
and nothing really stays the same
and I can be your everything
trust in me, just take my hand
casue I know I can take you
I will never let you down
It's over you are gone
I'll never think about anyone..
Days breaking, so fast
and I think I tell you this before I go (before I go)
As our love grows old, I just want you to know
That I'll be thinking about you
and I'll be here tonight, with you sitting by my side
there we are
on a cold winter's night..
So I lay here all alone
memories are getting old
I knew everything about you
now i'm not the one around you
As our love grows cold, I just want you to know
That I'll be thinking about you
and I'll be here tonight, with you sitting by my side
there we are
on a cold winter's night..
Your wrapped up in my arms so tight
You seem restless
and when your memories get you down
and when he is not around
I know everything about you
I am everywhere around you
It's over you are gone
I'll never think about anyone..
Days breaking, so fast
and I think I tell you this before I go (before I go)
As our love grows cold, I just want you to know
That I'll be thinking about you
and I'll be here tonight, with you sitting by my side
there we are
on a cold winter's night..
As you lay ready to go
feeling lonely cause you know
that everythings about to change
and nothing really stays the same
and I can be your everything
trust in me, just take my hand
casue I know I can take you
I will never let you down
It's over you are gone
I'll never think about anyone..
Days breaking, so fast
and I think I tell you this before I go (before I go)
As our love grows old, I just want you to know
That I'll be thinking about you
and I'll be here tonight, with you sitting by my side
there we are
on a cold winter's night..
So I lay here all alone
memories are getting old
I knew everything about you
now i'm not the one around you
As our love grows cold, I just want you to know
That I'll be thinking about you
and I'll be here tonight, with you sitting by my side
there we are
on a cold winter's night..

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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.
sweet song. I've never heard it but the lyrics are good
