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 wake up I'm all alone
In my room
Glad you're gone
Alone is just the way I wanna be
Someone's waking up with you
Someone pretty, someone who you'll do that thing to
That you did to me
It's the only thing that I want lately
I don't miss your company
I just want those hands on me
To touch the places underneath
You can keep me out of your sight, that's alright
You can keep me out of your mind, even though
I know we're done you keep on turning me on
At night time when it's dark outside
I go to where I know you're hiding
Look up at your window from the street
You're up there, with somebody
Finally getting over me
You got something up there that I need
It's the only thing that I've been missing
I don't want your conversation
Come outside here for a second
Pay me some of your attention
You can keep me out of your sight, that's alright
You can keep me out of your mind, even though
I know we're done you keep on turning me on
You can keep me out of your sight, that's alright
You can keep me out of your mind, even though
I know we're done you keep on turning me on
Maybe I want one more kiss
Shouldn't I get one more wish?
Couldn't I just have you back for one more go around
The track?
It's easy, believe me
It's easy, you please me
It's easy
(You keep on turning me on)
You please me
(You keep on turning me on)
It's easy
(You keep on turning me on)
You please me
(You keep on turning me on)
You can keep me out of your sight that's alright
(You keep on turning me on)
You can keep me out of your mind that's alright
(You keep on turning me on)
You can keep me out of your sight that's alright
(You keep on turning me on)
You can keep me out of your mind that's alright
(You keep on turning me on)

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
They broke up but she still wants him as her fuck buddy ;]
best song on the album i think but its because i relate PERFECTLY. i think its about either breaking up with someone or having a one night stand and then the guy stops talking to her and she just wants him back, not for a relationship, but to basically fool around with. and she's saying that he can be a douche and keep her out of sight and mind. such a great song. i like to think that I Get Around, Competition, You Please Me, and Marvellous are all choronological. Hell, the whole album is one slutty story to me. I love it.
I agree with alomaxrawwr and IGETAROUND as to the meaning of the song. I think though its "You're up there, WITH SOMEBODY finally getting over me" instead "some believe" cuz this would make more sense for the song. Its suggesting that her ex-lover now has a new girlfriend - which complicates things further =D
