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 think you know
I'd like to go
'Cause all the ladies are stinking
Don't even try to beg
I lack the pace
I lack the moves, I lack the looks, I lack the grace
And all the men say that the planets can exist
But they know niche, it's just a temporary glitch
Their lovers cannot love or stand
By the way
I saw your friends today and they all said you're great
They mentioned something that the planets can exist
There's nothing in their eyes and nothing will persist
Oh brother I don't understand
What will our friends say?
If dreaming's not wrong enough
Checking our history books
Seeing if we're strong enough
Please take me through
And we'll find people more intelligent than you
And they're not bothered if the planets can exist
So we procured from them the legendary list
Point one is primed and planned
Two says not to clans
C states all the gentlemen are fools
Four is on the door
Five is on the floor
There's nothing more or less that's all there is
What will our friends say?
If dreaming's not wrong enough
Checking our history books
Seeing if we're strong enough
I remember liberty
I remember what it means
Burning our history books
Getting a better look
I have no doubt
We must get out
'Cause all the ladies are stinking
Don't even try to beg
I'd like to go
'Cause all the ladies are stinking
Don't even try to beg
I lack the pace
I lack the moves, I lack the looks, I lack the grace
And all the men say that the planets can exist
But they know niche, it's just a temporary glitch
Their lovers cannot love or stand
By the way
I saw your friends today and they all said you're great
They mentioned something that the planets can exist
There's nothing in their eyes and nothing will persist
Oh brother I don't understand
What will our friends say?
If dreaming's not wrong enough
Checking our history books
Seeing if we're strong enough
Please take me through
And we'll find people more intelligent than you
And they're not bothered if the planets can exist
So we procured from them the legendary list
Point one is primed and planned
Two says not to clans
C states all the gentlemen are fools
Four is on the door
Five is on the floor
There's nothing more or less that's all there is
What will our friends say?
If dreaming's not wrong enough
Checking our history books
Seeing if we're strong enough
I remember liberty
I remember what it means
Burning our history books
Getting a better look
I have no doubt
We must get out
'Cause all the ladies are stinking
Don't even try to beg

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Silent Planet
Silent Planet
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. 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.
I guess it is about being worried that the friends you hang out with are stupid?
