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 receive
Your signal
So you see
I found you out
Shoot the lights we'll get out right and follow this heart
Shoot the lights we'll get out right and follow this heart
Something fades away
I never lost you
Circle my mistakes
I never lost you for good
Ain't I something
I feel nothing
I could never hide
Am I bluffing
Am I just denied?
[Chorus]
Mirror, mirror
Reflect this scream
I've held my belief
Beside these dreams
I can't guess where we'll be tomorrow
Just one wish
Rumours of tomorrow
Can I face tomorrow with you?
To the nines
You want it all
I perceive you'll sell me out
Shoot the lights we'll get out right and swallow this heart
Shoot the lights we'll get out right in time
[Chorus]
Can I face tomorrow with you?
Can I face tomorrow with you?
Drag me to the hollows and choose
The lanterns swing, the swans lie low
We stand alone
Ain't I something
I feel nothing
I can't help but try
Am I bluffing
Have I just denied?
Mirror, mirror
I've lingered long
Perchance to dream the sweetest dream
Mirror, mirror
Reflect this scream
For dreams that long to be
Can I face tomorrow with you?
Can I face tomorrow with you?
Drag me to the hollows and choose alone
Choose the loss
Choose the sea
The longest walk
Your signal
So you see
I found you out
Shoot the lights we'll get out right and follow this heart
Shoot the lights we'll get out right and follow this heart
Something fades away
I never lost you
Circle my mistakes
I never lost you for good
Ain't I something
I feel nothing
I could never hide
Am I bluffing
Am I just denied?
[Chorus]
Mirror, mirror
Reflect this scream
I've held my belief
Beside these dreams
I can't guess where we'll be tomorrow
Just one wish
Rumours of tomorrow
Can I face tomorrow with you?
To the nines
You want it all
I perceive you'll sell me out
Shoot the lights we'll get out right and swallow this heart
Shoot the lights we'll get out right in time
[Chorus]
Can I face tomorrow with you?
Can I face tomorrow with you?
Drag me to the hollows and choose
The lanterns swing, the swans lie low
We stand alone
Ain't I something
I feel nothing
I can't help but try
Am I bluffing
Have I just denied?
Mirror, mirror
I've lingered long
Perchance to dream the sweetest dream
Mirror, mirror
Reflect this scream
For dreams that long to be
Can I face tomorrow with you?
Can I face tomorrow with you?
Drag me to the hollows and choose alone
Choose the loss
Choose the sea
The longest walk

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
Holiday
Bee Gees

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
lol i agreewith stupid_name
as to the meaning of the song, i think it speaks about a broken relationship, yes, but it has like two parts... so the first is when they're trying to solve their problems "we'll get out right and follow this heart"... and he wonder whether the relationship will continue, but in the end it doesn't work out ("we'll get out right and swallow this heart") because despite all the effort, the beliefs and screams he held, he was dragged to the hollows, and chose alone the loss.
So apparently he would have been the one who left her, or lingered too long...
