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.
You start the car, and I'll pack the sandwiches
Maybe we'll miss the rain
The side of the road, the edge of tomorrow
Trading spots again
I'm still infatuated
I'm feeling obligated
My mind's a million miles away, I'm sorry
The day starts at 2:00, and the worst part
Is that I'm pretending that I'm feeling half alive
I think I sold my name
Driving down the interstate alone
With a ghost I'm naming after you
You blame your mother, and I'll blame California
For being too damn bright
Gunning the car, home for The Winter Rush
And seven months of sleep
I miss the nightly readouts of all the things we spewed out
I sold my memory just to buy us coffee
The day starts at 2:00, and the worst part
Is that I'm pretending that I'm feeling half alive
I think I sold my name
Driving down the interstate alone
With a ghost I'm naming after you
Driving down the interstate alone
With a ghost I'm naming after you
I started to want things, I held them up high
I got it, I flaunted, it left me uptight
If I say it, I mean it, I'll speak it outright
I'll take it, I'll save it, I'll make it all mine
Somewhere, it's out there, and I will hold it closer I swear
Somewhere, you're out there, and I will hold you closer I swear
Maybe we'll miss the rain
The side of the road, the edge of tomorrow
Trading spots again
I'm still infatuated
I'm feeling obligated
My mind's a million miles away, I'm sorry
The day starts at 2:00, and the worst part
Is that I'm pretending that I'm feeling half alive
I think I sold my name
Driving down the interstate alone
With a ghost I'm naming after you
You blame your mother, and I'll blame California
For being too damn bright
Gunning the car, home for The Winter Rush
And seven months of sleep
I miss the nightly readouts of all the things we spewed out
I sold my memory just to buy us coffee
The day starts at 2:00, and the worst part
Is that I'm pretending that I'm feeling half alive
I think I sold my name
Driving down the interstate alone
With a ghost I'm naming after you
Driving down the interstate alone
With a ghost I'm naming after you
I started to want things, I held them up high
I got it, I flaunted, it left me uptight
If I say it, I mean it, I'll speak it outright
I'll take it, I'll save it, I'll make it all mine
Somewhere, it's out there, and I will hold it closer I swear
Somewhere, you're out there, and I will hold you closer I swear

I Can't Go To Sleep

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.

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.

This song is unadulterated beauty.
gah, I could honestly claw this song to death and still not get nearly enough... so anyone wanna take a stab at the meaning?? or are we just gonna contunue commenting on how utterly amazing it is?
this song is so ver beautiful.. but i cant find the lyric for " abook and no disaster" someone has some work to do..
I think that this song probably is about depression and just not feeling like your self. feelings of guilt/regret/shame.
