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.
i play connect the dots with your beauty marks
and i ended up with picture perfect sheet music.
i read your musical notes with a composer's eyes
and heard our song for the first time, and my spine is still tingling.
mental images of your fine tune is what i've been nodding my head to lately,
and every now and then you can catch me humming your nudity under my heavy breath.
i heavily suggest you ressurect your ancient neglected dust collector
if you distrust the dissonance in my seldom plucked heart strings.
shit's stripped before your full length,
perform your reflection backwards.
maybe then you'll understand the rhythm in my movement.
listen when the news is sent. extend when the rules are bent.
i'll be waiting to take your lead, make me a victim of your two-step.
make me an apprentice of your body parts.
teach me to dance to your beauty marks.
i'm steppin' on toes here and i don't care.
it's hopeless, it's hopeless. it's hopelessness.
it's hopelessness holding this openness to blow a kiss so close your lips,
but don't get pissed and throw a fist at this vocalist.
i'm not emotionless, in fact i broke my wrist when i wrote the list of all those i miss.
it's my poker face!

The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Intense...that's about the only word for this freestyle rap of his. The sheer strength he puts into the intonation and inflection of the rhymes really shows he's not just a "rapper", he's a true poet too. Rock on.
SIT stripped before your full length... he's telling her to sit infront of a mirror naked and examine her reflection to understand how he feels about her
this poem ends with: THIS is my poker face Mr Feel Nothing.
This is by far my favorite track on Personal Journals. His syntax is phenomenal and the cadence with which he says "Maybe then you'll understand the rhythm in my movement/Listen when the news is sent" is really excellent.
nice one negatyne i like your theory
I second negatyve's comment.
Sage is pure talent.
Amazing, pure emotion.
