He certainly did earn that reputation.
I've tried it all twice or more
Told the lies and hit the floor
Broken down, what is real?
Hoping, doubt try to kill
Each other in the war that's in
My head I hurt from all my sins
Grin and bare the pain and angst
Sort thru all my brain's complaints
Ain't enough I need some help
What's it like to be myself
Hands are shaky, fuse is short
Starin' at the news report
To ignore the sound is hard
Bankrupt with a credit card
House I live in is a mess
Sqwermin in my flesh
What do you want from me?
I have given all I can
I don't know what it's gonna take
Can you make me understand?
What do you want from me?
Is it just no use to try?
I don't know what it's gonna take
Because I've no more tears to cry
Got no dough to pay the bills
Sanity ran for the hills
Sorta feels like comin' down
Comin' down, comin' down
Lightnin' flashing, poorin' rain
My reflection says you're in pain
You're insane, can't explain
Why I tend to think these things
Demons with there horns and fangs
Steal from you then call you names
Planes and trains, automobiles
Same thing as a bag of pills
Make it strong and make it fast
Ain't no way to make it last
Down and out, sick and tired
I wallow in the mire
What do you want from me?
I have given all I can
I don't know what it's gonna take
Can you make me understand?
What do you want from me?
Is it just no use to try?
I don't know what it's gonna take
Because I've no more tears to cry
Workin' hard may leave you broke
Gotta learn to steal from folks
Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie
Chevrolet not zenith skies
Sky's are full of poison air
Family photo, comb your hair
Wear a smile, wear a tie
Lie and don't be camera shy
Damn if I could be like you
I'd make the same mistakes you do
Murder people over seas
For the need to feed your greed
Nothing's free, a price was paid
With a rocket propelled grenade
Morning's purple, day is gray
Just wanted to say hey
What do you want from me?
I have given all I can
I don't know what it's gonna take
Can you make me understand?
What do you want from me?
Is it just no use to try?
I don't know what it's gonna take
Because I've no more tears to cry
What do you want from me?
I have given all I can
I don't know what it's gonna take
Can you make me understand?
What do you want from me?
Is it just no use to try?
I don't know what it's gonna take
Because I've no more tears to cry
Told the lies and hit the floor
Broken down, what is real?
Hoping, doubt try to kill
Each other in the war that's in
My head I hurt from all my sins

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.
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.

a living, breathing, moving description of depression.
Here's my interpretation:<br /> <br /> the person singing is confused about why the world is how it is, and he doesn't know why everyone expects him to be an average person. Some things he critiques about the world are:<br /> <br /> "Planes and trains, automobiles, Same thing as a bag of pills"<br /> He thinks that greed, material goods, and the search for wealth are just as bad as drugs<br /> <br /> "Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, Chevrolet not zenith skies"<br /> He thinks, once again, people are too much acting in self-interest and in search of wealth than they are trying to be good people.<br /> <br /> "Wear a smile, wear a tie, Lie and don't be camera shy"<br /> People try too much to cover up who they are and their emotions<br /> <br /> "Murder people over seas, For the need to feed your greed<br /> Nothing's free, a price was paid, With a rocket propelled grenade"<br /> Greed causes war<br /> <br /> Basically, this song is talking down towards greed, and its a great redneck rap song
