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.
So we pull into your driveway
I don’t want you to leave
The stars get your attention
I lean back in my seat and we just talk
And listen to the mix that you had made me days before
And I was never good at this
Insinuating lines that might lead to that first kiss
So roll your eyes with every awkward line I fumble
Until I get this right
Was I wrong to take this bound
‘Cause I’m in love with what I found
But you’re coy and you’re holding things back
And I know you but I can’t see through
These doors that you won’t let me in
I guess I’ll turn around, I’ll turn around, and go
Well I’ll just go
And I’ll wake up with this taste of
A bitter sweet despair
‘Cause holding you is like fighting for
A final breath of air that drifts the room tonight
I’m getting tight and I can feel you falling off
Was I wrong to take this bound
‘Cause I’m in love with what I found
But you’re coy and you’re holding things back
And I know you but I can’t see through
These doors that you won’t let me in
I guess I’ll turn around, I’ll turn around, and go
Well I’ll just go
So give me one more chance I’ll take this
One more shot I’ll make this
One more feeling I can’t get from anyone but you, but you
But you’re coy and you’re holding things back
And I know you but I can’t see through
These doors that you won’t let me in
I guess I’ll wait around, I’ll wait around
I don’t want you to leave
The stars get your attention
I lean back in my seat and we just talk
And listen to the mix that you had made me days before
And I was never good at this
Insinuating lines that might lead to that first kiss
So roll your eyes with every awkward line I fumble
Until I get this right
Was I wrong to take this bound
‘Cause I’m in love with what I found
But you’re coy and you’re holding things back
And I know you but I can’t see through
These doors that you won’t let me in
I guess I’ll turn around, I’ll turn around, and go
Well I’ll just go
And I’ll wake up with this taste of
A bitter sweet despair
‘Cause holding you is like fighting for
A final breath of air that drifts the room tonight
I’m getting tight and I can feel you falling off
Was I wrong to take this bound
‘Cause I’m in love with what I found
But you’re coy and you’re holding things back
And I know you but I can’t see through
These doors that you won’t let me in
I guess I’ll turn around, I’ll turn around, and go
Well I’ll just go
So give me one more chance I’ll take this
One more shot I’ll make this
One more feeling I can’t get from anyone but you, but you
But you’re coy and you’re holding things back
And I know you but I can’t see through
These doors that you won’t let me in
I guess I’ll wait around, I’ll wait around

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
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"

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.
yeah, it really is such a perfect song. i listen to it and it makes me feel happy. it reminds me of the awkward, tension-filled beginning of a relationship. should he make the first move or not? should he tell her how he feels? it's just adorable and outright lovely.
