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.
Well you were high when i met you,
and now you're falling like a leaf from a tree,
(wanna reach into the sea)
and every time the world goes round,
you're getting closer to the ground.
Air traffic control,
I've been gone, I've been up away from home.
now my gear is down, I've circled round,
and i am coming in.
(running out of oxygen)
and my fuel is running low,
runway lights where do i go
I'm looking down but they don't show.
well you were high when i met you,
now you're coming in on my frequency,
i can't hear you, can you see me?
you're cutting in I'm breaking up
?your true love trapple and I..?
Air Traffic Control
hold on I'm coming in
Air Traffic Control
hold on I'm coming in
Air Traffic Control
I've been gone, Ive been up away from home.
now my gear is down, I'm circling round,
and I am coming in.
running out of oxygen,
and my fuel is running low,
runway lights where do i go
I'm looking down, but they don't show.
wanna race into the sea
i cant hear you, can you see me?
i cant see you, can you hear me?

hold on I'm coming in

I've been gone, I've been up away from home.
now my gear is down, I'm circling round.
and i am coming in.
I've run out of oxygen,
and my fuel running low
runway lights where did you go?
I'm looking down, I'm coming in.
and now you're falling like a leaf from a tree,
(wanna reach into the sea)
and every time the world goes round,
you're getting closer to the ground.
Air traffic control,
I've been gone, I've been up away from home.
now my gear is down, I've circled round,
and i am coming in.

I'm looking down, I'm coming in.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This song blatantly rips off the lyrics of David Bowie's "Space Oddity", the chord progression of Radiohead's "Karma Police" (especially at the beginning), and the violin parts of the Beatles' "A Day in the Life" and "Eleanor Rigby". Oh well, at least it's a decent song.
