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.
The death of a king
Alluring lassos
Slide on so smooth
Tension made of razors
Dragging across you
The flushing of eyes
Couldn't cleanse your abrasions
Deep inside consumed with guilt
I'm clothed in a bed of blankets
Dream suspicious strangers over night
[Chorus]
Righteous pharisees befriending
Silent movements mar re injuring god
The taste of absent minded actions
Outweigh forgiveness
Bridging a widow in spite of her venom
I've failed to mention your soul
Three becoming two
Such a left in criminal
Only the mind of the temptress knows
Actions are my remorse for amnesia
[Chorus]
So close to healing the weak
Turning into the enemy
Paralyzing kings
We are so self
[Chorus]
Alluring lassos
Slide on so smooth
Tension made of razors
Dragging across you
The flushing of eyes
Couldn't cleanse your abrasions
Deep inside consumed with guilt
I'm clothed in a bed of blankets
Dream suspicious strangers over night
[Chorus]
Righteous pharisees befriending
Silent movements mar re injuring god
The taste of absent minded actions
Outweigh forgiveness
Bridging a widow in spite of her venom
I've failed to mention your soul
Three becoming two
Such a left in criminal
Only the mind of the temptress knows
Actions are my remorse for amnesia
[Chorus]
So close to healing the weak
Turning into the enemy
Paralyzing kings
We are so self
[Chorus]

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
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."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
NO NO NO NO NO !!!!!!!!!!
Its about the crucifiction folks. read it again.
The first 4 lines-Jusus being whipped. Next 4 lines-view of the people doing, amd condoning this. Rightous pharisses---the pharissis silent movements were to put the blame on ceazar so the church would not be blamed and ceazar "washed" his hands. silent movements=nobody to blame. They acted absent mindedly, businesslike almost.The movements reinjuring god was like not only are you going to kill me but you wont be open about it---huh, that must mean its wrong...could be?
Briding a widow in spite of her venom---the crucifiction was also seen as a miarrage betweeh Jusus and the earth, which is seen as a female entity. Even though the earth was corrupt, he did it anyways, sacraficed himself.
So close to healing the weak---if jesus could have lived forever as a person, he could save us all easy, but he had to give us the choice to do what we want, and that wasnt easy for jusus to like.
And then it changes to WE are so self rightous-we are no different than those people then, they are not any less corrupt than we are, saten has just found a way to make sin look les drastic)
GET IT NOW?!?!?! Read it again now, youll see.
Finally, someone that understands that 10 years is preaching the Gospel. I knew I wasn't the only one who saw this. Unfortunately it takes a certain kind of person to see this...<br /> <br /> You sir, grasp the message.
They seem spiritual, but I don't think they are Religious.
