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.
Something in the way the incense
Mingled with the smell of fear
Made me wonder if you even
Hear the same song that I hear
Chorus
And whilst clumsily I fumbled o'er your body
I tried to make you feel it
And I tried to make you see it through my eyes
Thinking to myself, "She's so amazing"
When I couldn't help remembering
The last time I thought someone was amazing
And I'm searching for a higher power
And never even knowing that by searching I was losing half my mind
But now I know you
Now I know your war
You don't even answer
You don't even try
You don't even see that it's tearing up your mind
You don't even answer
But you don't need an army
You divide and conquer
Something in the way your body
Rose and fell with distant sighs
Made me wonder if you even
Sense the blindness in my eyes
Chorus
Could it be I'm wrong
Can I be the man I need to be without your silent stare
And that sin in your smile
Oh, could it be I'm right
Should I swallow up the night and let the floodgates open wide
To reveal all I want
And reveal all I fear I am
La-da-da....
Chorus
You divide and conquer
And I am such a sucker
And look out now it's over
Mingled with the smell of fear
Made me wonder if you even
Hear the same song that I hear
Chorus
And whilst clumsily I fumbled o'er your body
I tried to make you feel it
And I tried to make you see it through my eyes
Thinking to myself, "She's so amazing"
When I couldn't help remembering
The last time I thought someone was amazing
And I'm searching for a higher power
And never even knowing that by searching I was losing half my mind
But now I know you
Now I know your war
You don't even answer
You don't even try
You don't even see that it's tearing up your mind
You don't even answer
But you don't need an army
You divide and conquer
Something in the way your body
Rose and fell with distant sighs
Made me wonder if you even
Sense the blindness in my eyes
Chorus
Could it be I'm wrong
Can I be the man I need to be without your silent stare
And that sin in your smile
Oh, could it be I'm right
Should I swallow up the night and let the floodgates open wide
To reveal all I want
And reveal all I fear I am
La-da-da....
Chorus
You divide and conquer
And I am such a sucker
And look out now it's over

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.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday
Bee Gees

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
This song is so nice:) agree with you!
