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.
I'm going to sing this song with all of my friends
And we're I'm from Barcelona
Love is a feeling that we don't understand
But we're going to give it to you
We'll aim for the stars
We'll aim for your heart when the night comes
And we'll bring you love
You'll be one of us when the night comes
I'm going to sing this song with all of my friends
And we're I'm from Barcelona
Love is a feeling that we don't understand
But we're going to give it to you
We'll aim for the stars
We'll aim for your heart when the night comes
And we'll bring you love
You'll be one of us when the night comes
We'll aim for the stars
We'll aim for your heart when the night comes
And we'll bring you love
You'll be one of us when the night comes
And we're I'm from Barcelona
Love is a feeling that we don't understand
But we're going to give it to you
We'll aim for the stars
We'll aim for your heart when the night comes
And we'll bring you love
You'll be one of us when the night comes
I'm going to sing this song with all of my friends
And we're I'm from Barcelona
Love is a feeling that we don't understand
But we're going to give it to you
We'll aim for the stars
We'll aim for your heart when the night comes
And we'll bring you love
You'll be one of us when the night comes
We'll aim for the stars
We'll aim for your heart when the night comes
And we'll bring you love
You'll be one of us when the night comes

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
A great first single for an amazingly catchy new band. I love these guys. Hopefully they'll be doing some U.S. shows sometime soon.
You can't help but smile when you listen to it.
yeah, it's awesome. but i don't understand the whole barcelona bit. no one ever explains that. they're from sweden...so where does barcelona involve itself?
Swedish people LOVE barcelona :) And so do I, but I'm actually from this beautiful city ^^<br /> Go to a nasty mondays, any monday of the month and you'll meet a loooot of swedish there
The name, "I'm From Barcelona" was just a random name they chose to release their first EP under (taken from the British sitcom, Fawlty Towers). They never planned to be an ongoing project, but rather just something Emanuel Lundgren, the songwriter, wanted to do for fun. But their music was just so good, they couldnt stop.
I'm going to try my best to see them in Chicago at Lollapalooza. That would be incredible.
These guys ARE my reason for going to Lollapalooza.
"we're out from barcelona" yes? no?
nevermind just saw a video of them in concert lyrics are a.ok
