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.
Everything they said about you
Everything they've known was wrong
Did you hear me call your name? Did you hear me call
Or were your thoughts just too loud?
Or were your thoughts just loud enough for you to miss it?
I thought you'd be listening a little more intently for me
But I'll be here when you're ready
Until then just be still and breathe
Just be still and breathe
But I was screaming, I was screaming
Everything they said about you
Everything they've known was wrong
The outside doesn't feel
What the inside knows is real
Did you see me walking back
Through the same door that I left
The same door that I left?
Why didn't you stop me if you could, stop me?
There was something that I missed
Probably 'cause I didn't want to find it
I didn't want to find it
Then came the arguments
Now there is silence, just be still and breathe
Just be still and breathe
And we're both breathing, we're both breathing
Everything they said about you
Everything they've known was wrong
The outside doesn't feel
What the inside knows is real
Everything they said about you
Everything they've known was wrong
The outside doesn't feel
What the inside knows is real
Just walk away and save everything you can
And save everything you can
Just walk away and save anything you can, anything
Everything they said about you
Everything they've known was wrong
The outside doesn't feel
What the inside knows is real
Everything they said about you
Everything they've known was wrong
There's a place that they don't know
And that's where I call my home
Where I call my home
Everything they've known was wrong
Did you hear me call your name? Did you hear me call
Or were your thoughts just too loud?
Or were your thoughts just loud enough for you to miss it?
I thought you'd be listening a little more intently for me
But I'll be here when you're ready
Until then just be still and breathe
Just be still and breathe
But I was screaming, I was screaming
Everything they said about you
Everything they've known was wrong
The outside doesn't feel
What the inside knows is real
Did you see me walking back
Through the same door that I left
The same door that I left?
Why didn't you stop me if you could, stop me?
There was something that I missed
Probably 'cause I didn't want to find it
I didn't want to find it
Then came the arguments
Now there is silence, just be still and breathe
Just be still and breathe
And we're both breathing, we're both breathing
Everything they said about you
Everything they've known was wrong
The outside doesn't feel
What the inside knows is real
Everything they said about you
Everything they've known was wrong
The outside doesn't feel
What the inside knows is real
Just walk away and save everything you can
And save everything you can
Just walk away and save anything you can, anything
Everything they said about you
Everything they've known was wrong
The outside doesn't feel
What the inside knows is real
Everything they said about you
Everything they've known was wrong
There's a place that they don't know
And that's where I call my home
Where I call my home

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."
