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.
Can’t get along with this desire
Gotta get some of that emotion in my veins
Can’t get along with this desire
Gotta be alone with the fix, addicted to things - you’re so fascinating
Heroes don’t fly
My love is too big
And with all the rules that I live by
I can’t let desire win over me.
Can’t be alone with this desire
It itches and scratches the skin off my heart and I can’t take this game
I can’t
Be alone with this Desire
It’s a bridge made of wet, white paper
A running rollercoaster
Heroes don’t fly
My love is too big
And with all the rules that I live by
I can’t let desire win over me.
Heroes don’t fly
My love is too big
And with all the rules that I live by
I can’t let desire win over me.
Gotta get some of that emotion in my veins
Can’t get along with this desire
Gotta be alone with the fix, addicted to things - you’re so fascinating
Heroes don’t fly
My love is too big
And with all the rules that I live by
I can’t let desire win over me.
Can’t be alone with this desire
It itches and scratches the skin off my heart and I can’t take this game
I can’t
Be alone with this Desire
It’s a bridge made of wet, white paper
A running rollercoaster
Heroes don’t fly
My love is too big
And with all the rules that I live by
I can’t let desire win over me.
Heroes don’t fly
My love is too big
And with all the rules that I live by
I can’t let desire win over me.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
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.

Magical

Ed Sheeran
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.
