The darkness falls upon the trees at night.
My voices say it's time to feed my own sight.
Further from sane I cannot move again.
Engulfed in the in dread it's breaking up my life.

Going forward. I learn from my mistakes.
Division of my own self leaves me wondering what I've become.
When I'm alone to think of my torture.
I never have to pretend I love you.

I have no conscience: I have compassion.
I'd lie to replace what I imagine.
You don't have to watch me fall.
Just one one more time dear,

You know I have to.
I never wanted to hurt you, hurt you.
Division of my own self leaves me wondering what I've become.
When I'm alone to think of my torture. .

I never have to pretend I love you.
I have no conscience: I have compassion.
I'd lie to replace what I imagine.
You don't have to watch me fall.

Whatever's pulling keeps on pulling me much closer to my heaven.
When I am with you I can feel my goodness it's like I'm in heaven.
The shock of waking up in fear that death in near will never happen.
I'm coming down; I'm coming down for you.

When I'm alone to think of my torture.
I never have to pretend I love you.
I have no conscience: I have compassion.
I'd lie to replace what I imagine.

When I am with you,
My game is over.
I am comatose with my false lover.
Nothing can break my I have no conscience.

Nothin' will stop me,
Until I stop this.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
