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 summer is over and it seems as though we are too.
Too many late nights spent arguing and ending up alone.
I wanted to stay, wanted to make things right with you.
But when the time came for us to break up you were out the door.
But saying goodbye is something I will not do.
Because a day without waking up next to you.
Is like trying to live without any breathe for my lungs.
And tonight this summer is lasting as long as I need.
So I sat out your window professing my love on my knees.
But you turned your back and told me just to go home.
So I wrote you a song and sang it at all of my shows.
But my singing about you seems to last longer than the crowds seem to stay.
But saying goodbye is something I refuse to do.
Because a day without waking up next to you.
Is like trying to live without any breathe for my lungs.
And tonight this summer is lasting as long as I need.
So this summer is over and so is your love for me.
It seems that we will never be together again.
Whenever I see you walking a long the street,
I remember the day that you turned your back on me
But saying goodbye is something I just can not do.
Because a day without waking up next to you.
Is like trying to live without any breathe for my lungs.
And tonight this summer should last as long as I need.
Too many late nights spent arguing and ending up alone.
I wanted to stay, wanted to make things right with you.
But when the time came for us to break up you were out the door.
But saying goodbye is something I will not do.
Because a day without waking up next to you.
Is like trying to live without any breathe for my lungs.
And tonight this summer is lasting as long as I need.
So I sat out your window professing my love on my knees.
But you turned your back and told me just to go home.
So I wrote you a song and sang it at all of my shows.
But my singing about you seems to last longer than the crowds seem to stay.
But saying goodbye is something I refuse to do.
Because a day without waking up next to you.
Is like trying to live without any breathe for my lungs.
And tonight this summer is lasting as long as I need.
So this summer is over and so is your love for me.
It seems that we will never be together again.
Whenever I see you walking a long the street,
I remember the day that you turned your back on me
But saying goodbye is something I just can not do.
Because a day without waking up next to you.
Is like trying to live without any breathe for my lungs.
And tonight this summer should last as long as I need.

No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
i think this song is beautiful. there are so many lines in this song that im just in love with... kinda like how i am with the singer...
the songs are pretty good - but the band needs to change out the singer. check it out on mp3.com. the singer totally needs to go into a different profession otherwise the band is never going to get anywhere
haha ya emogirl i completely agree with you. they have the instrumental talent to back them up...but that voice...good lyrics tho
sounds like he is singing while holding his nose lol the lyrics are awsome thoi
i disagree his voice is a little out off key and hits weird pitches at times but he just needs to get that straightened out and it would be fine.. he has potential
ouch, right to the heart with that vocal problem. but yeah, I agree, I really can't sing. But this is also not my real style of music. I'm in a post-hardcore band. How did you people come across this? Strangeness, but it was just a side-project to pass the time and vent some feelings. Not really wanting to amount to anything. We re-recorded this song this past December and it sounds better but still not very good. Anyway, yeah this is not my profession, I'm going to college for Computer Science. But thanks for being truthful.
