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.
Oh mirror mirror, you're coming in clear
I'm finally somewhere in between
I'm impressed, what a beautiful chest
I never meant to make a big scene
Will you resign to the latest design?
You look so messy when you dress up in dreams
One more for hire, a wonderful liar
I think it's time we all should come clean
Stack dead actors
Stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards
All I want is the truth
Hey, hey now, can you fake it?
Can you make it look like we won?
Hey, hey now, can you take it?
And we cry when they all die blonde
God bless, what a sensitive mess
Yeah, but things aren't always what they seem
Your teary eyes, your famous disguise
Never knowing who to believe
See through, yeah, but what do you do?
When you're just another aging drag queen
Stack dead actors
Stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards
All I want is the truth
Hey, hey now, can you fake it?
Can you make it look like we won?
Hey, hey now, can you take it?
And we cry when they all die blonde
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up all the bastards, all I want is the truth
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up all the bastards, and we cry when they all die blonde, ahh
Hey, hey now, can you fake it?
Can you make it look like we won?
Hey, hey now, can you take it?
And we cry when they all die blonde
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up all the bastards, all I want is the truth
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards, cry when they all die blonde
I'm finally somewhere in between
I'm impressed, what a beautiful chest
I never meant to make a big scene
Will you resign to the latest design?
You look so messy when you dress up in dreams
One more for hire, a wonderful liar
I think it's time we all should come clean
Stack dead actors
Stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards
All I want is the truth
Hey, hey now, can you fake it?
Can you make it look like we won?
Hey, hey now, can you take it?
And we cry when they all die blonde
God bless, what a sensitive mess
Yeah, but things aren't always what they seem
Your teary eyes, your famous disguise
Never knowing who to believe
See through, yeah, but what do you do?
When you're just another aging drag queen
Stack dead actors
Stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards
All I want is the truth
Hey, hey now, can you fake it?
Can you make it look like we won?
Hey, hey now, can you take it?
And we cry when they all die blonde
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up all the bastards, all I want is the truth
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up all the bastards, and we cry when they all die blonde, ahh
Hey, hey now, can you fake it?
Can you make it look like we won?
Hey, hey now, can you take it?
And we cry when they all die blonde
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up all the bastards, all I want is the truth
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards, cry when they all die blonde

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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.
I think (would like to think) that this song is a direct stab at Courtney Love.
