The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
This is really only all we have (bury all of me)
Daytime, twilight, pitch black, night light (before I have a chance)
Coldest eyes, and the softest touch (To open my eyes)
Daytime, twilight, pitch black, night light (and see you laughing)
These typed letters
Beneath me (is this all we have?)
Fuck with these buttons and knobs long enough (Or is this all just twilight)
And maybe things will turn out fine (beyond the skyline blinding me?)
Hide behind your crystal screen
And blow kisses at me
Just remember, what we said wouldn't happen, go
Write your name on my chest in kerosene
Spark a match, and you
Won't be cold again
This is really only all we have
Daytime, twilight, pitch black, night light
Coldest eyes
You had the coldest eyes, and the softest touch
Daytime, twilight, twilight, light (twilight)
Gag and destroy me
Gag and destroy me
I have a (sorry I didn't hear you)
Collection of thunder that I stole (I was busy dying in the corner)
Thunder, that I stole (those three words)
From your windowsill (destroyed every inch of me and, yet you keep speaking)
Stole right from your windowsill (ahh)
Daytime, twilight, pitch black, night light (before I have a chance)
Coldest eyes, and the softest touch (To open my eyes)
Daytime, twilight, pitch black, night light (and see you laughing)
These typed letters
Beneath me (is this all we have?)
Fuck with these buttons and knobs long enough (Or is this all just twilight)
And maybe things will turn out fine (beyond the skyline blinding me?)
Hide behind your crystal screen
And blow kisses at me
Just remember, what we said wouldn't happen, go
Write your name on my chest in kerosene
Spark a match, and you
Won't be cold again
This is really only all we have
Daytime, twilight, pitch black, night light
Coldest eyes
You had the coldest eyes, and the softest touch
Daytime, twilight, twilight, light (twilight)
Gag and destroy me
Gag and destroy me
I have a (sorry I didn't hear you)
Collection of thunder that I stole (I was busy dying in the corner)
Thunder, that I stole (those three words)
From your windowsill (destroyed every inch of me and, yet you keep speaking)
Stole right from your windowsill (ahh)

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.
Fast Car

"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.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Correct lyrics;
This is really only all we have: (Bury all of me) Daytime. Twilight. Pitch black. Night light. (Before I have a chance) Coldest eyes, and the softest touch. (To open my eyes and see you laughing.) Daytime. Twilight. Pitch black. Night light. These typed letters. (Is this all we have?) Beneath me. (Or is this all just twilight beyond the skyline) Fuck with these buttons and knobs long enough (Blinding me) And maybe things will... turn out fine.
Hide behind your crystal screen And blow kisses at me. ...Said wouldn't happen.... Go. Write your name on my chest in kerosene. Spark a match, and you, won't, be cold again.
This is really only all we have: Daytime. Twilight. Pitch black. Night light.
Coldest eyes. You had the coldest eyes, and the softest touch.
Daytime. Twilight. Pitch black. Light!
Gag and... destroy me. Gag and... destroy me.
(Sorry I didn't hear you) I have a (I was busy Dying in the corner) Collection of thunder that I stole (Those three words) I stole. That I stole. (Destroyed every inch of me and you keep) From your windowsill. (Speaking.) Stole... From your windowsill.
