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.
Well I’ve been down to Georgia
I’ve seen the streets in the west
I’ve driven down the 90, hell I’ve seen America’s best
I’ve been through the Rockies, I’ve seen Saskatoon
I’ve driven down the highway 1, I just hope that I’d see you soon
Cause I’m coming home, I’m coming home
I’ve never been to Alaska, but I can tell you this
I’ve been to Lincoln, Nebraska and hell you know it aint worth shit
I’ve been through Nova Scotia, Sydney to Halifax
I’ll never take any pictures cause I know I’ll just be right back
Cause I’m coming home, I’m coming home
I’ve seen palaces in London; I’ve seen a castle in Wales
But I’d rather wake up beside you and breathe that ol ’familiar smell
I never thought you could leave me, I figured I was the one
But I understand your sadness, so I guess I should just hold my tongue
But I’m coming home, I’m coming home
I know we’re takin’ chances, you told me life was a risk
But I have just one last question…
Will it be my heart or will it be his?
Coming home , I’m coming home
I’ve seen the streets in the west
I’ve driven down the 90, hell I’ve seen America’s best
I’ve been through the Rockies, I’ve seen Saskatoon
I’ve driven down the highway 1, I just hope that I’d see you soon
Cause I’m coming home, I’m coming home
I’ve never been to Alaska, but I can tell you this
I’ve been to Lincoln, Nebraska and hell you know it aint worth shit
I’ve been through Nova Scotia, Sydney to Halifax
I’ll never take any pictures cause I know I’ll just be right back
Cause I’m coming home, I’m coming home
I’ve seen palaces in London; I’ve seen a castle in Wales
But I’d rather wake up beside you and breathe that ol ’familiar smell
I never thought you could leave me, I figured I was the one
But I understand your sadness, so I guess I should just hold my tongue
But I’m coming home, I’m coming home
I know we’re takin’ chances, you told me life was a risk
But I have just one last question…
Will it be my heart or will it be his?
Coming home , I’m coming home

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
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.
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.
this is a gorgeous song... first time i listened to the CD all the way through this is the one when i went back to first; it just really got me.
I really hate Dallas Green...so much!
Why does he have to write such beautiful songs?!
This one actually made me cry! Not even "Sometimes (I Wish)" did that!
Damn him!
I guess the meaning's quite simple - about how touring has taken him away from a girl he loves and she's tired of waiting for him to return so she's found someone else
I agree with your meaning, Harry. It's a beautiful song. What do you reckon this actually happened to him and he wrote this song about it? If I wasn't considered a minor, and all the way in Australia, I'd be right up there by his side.
I dunno - maybe it has happened to him who knows?
Luckily, I'm only 4 years younger than Dallas (and a girl btw) so I could be "right up there by his side."! lol
Except I prefer his friend George...
I also agree with all you said, HarryManback ..
Why does he have to be so damn loveable? u_u
Anyways. This song is amazing. Just as every other Dallas song.
I'm from Saskatoon, and when I heard that song I was like, "hooray!!" I was taken aback, why choose to name Saskatoon in your song? Adorable. Good song!
Beautiful song, Dallas Green is the most sencere and talented solo artist I've yet encountered.
