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've seen your illusions, just like you've seen my desires
There has got to be much more burnin' in tomorrow's fires
I just sip the potion, hope it takes my blues away
So I just keep on rollin', 'till I find a brighter day
I see your sun is shinin', heavens smilin'
There's never been a way for me to say
I've got to find the feelin', start believin'
There's got to be a way for me to say that I know
If a blind man sees tomorrow, like a deaf man hears the sun
Then we must choose if we were born to lose, or if we're the chosen one
I can't find the feeling, that'll take my blues away
So I just keep on rollin', 'till I find a brighter day
I see your sun is shinin', heavens smilin'
There's never been a way for me to say
I've got to find the feelin', start believin'
There's got to be a way for me to say that I know
A blind man sees tomorrow, like a deaf man hears the sun
We must choose if we were born to lose, or if we're the chosen one
There has got to be much more burnin' in tomorrow's fires
I just sip the potion, hope it takes my blues away
So I just keep on rollin', 'till I find a brighter day
I see your sun is shinin', heavens smilin'
There's never been a way for me to say
I've got to find the feelin', start believin'
There's got to be a way for me to say that I know
If a blind man sees tomorrow, like a deaf man hears the sun
Then we must choose if we were born to lose, or if we're the chosen one
I can't find the feeling, that'll take my blues away
So I just keep on rollin', 'till I find a brighter day
I see your sun is shinin', heavens smilin'
There's never been a way for me to say
I've got to find the feelin', start believin'
There's got to be a way for me to say that I know
A blind man sees tomorrow, like a deaf man hears the sun
We must choose if we were born to lose, or if we're the chosen one

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
