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.
Say you're sorry
That face of an angel
Comes out just when you need it to
As I paced back and forth all this time
'Cause I honestly believed in you
Holding on
The days drag on
Stupid girl
I should have known, I should have known
That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you
And your white horse, to come around
Maybe I was naive,
Got lost in your eyes
And never really had a chance
My mistake I didn't know to be in love
You had to fight to have the upper hand
I had so many dreams
About you and me
Happy endings
Now I know
I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you
And your white horse, to come around
And there you are on your knees
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me
Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry
'Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale
I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well
This is a big world, that was a small town
There in my rear view mirror disappearing now
And it's too late for you and your white horse
Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to catch me now
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Try and catch me now
Oh, it's too late
To catch me now
That face of an angel
Comes out just when you need it to
As I paced back and forth all this time
'Cause I honestly believed in you
Holding on
The days drag on
Stupid girl
I should have known, I should have known
That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you
And your white horse, to come around
Maybe I was naive,
Got lost in your eyes
And never really had a chance
My mistake I didn't know to be in love
You had to fight to have the upper hand
I had so many dreams
About you and me
Happy endings
Now I know
I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you
And your white horse, to come around
And there you are on your knees
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me
Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry
'Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale
I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well
This is a big world, that was a small town
There in my rear view mirror disappearing now
And it's too late for you and your white horse
Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to catch me now
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Try and catch me now
Oh, it's too late
To catch me now

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
He led her on to believe that she had a chance when really, he was playing games. And now that he wants her, she's over him and it's just too late.
This is exactly my situation and, believe me, it hurts..
I know how you feel.im going thru it right now.I found out he was "liking"this other girl alot.and so i told him fine have her,you wont have me when u come back.
Yep that was me and my best friend for a while. The bitterness and the pain in this song is so raw, I love it. Especially the line: "And there you are on your knees-begging for forgiveness, begging for me. Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry..." It's so true. All you ever wanted was for them to realize how much they care for you, but when he finally gets a clue, all the time you spent hurting kind of overrules the feelings for him.
this song is simply amazing. i think its about a girl who loves a boy. He probably doesn't feel the same way back, but in her mind they are perfect together. He either does something to make her realize he is not a perfect prince, or she just gets sick of not being his princess. Reality hits her and just when it does, he realizes he lost her and comes begging for forgiveness- but its too late.
This may just be my interpretation in relation to myself and my relationship, but I think it's about being naive and hoping for something that just isn't there. She clearly cares for this boy and wants him to be the one, her "knight in shining armor," but he doesn't treat her like she deserves and she comes to realize that he isn't what she thought or hoped for at all.
This a Good sequel to "Love Story". THis makes me Cry cause i'm going through this.
your right, love story made me cry as well cuz i used to and still do wish that my best friend and i will have a relationship like in "love story" but sadly, he made it clear that he just wants to be friends, very subtle but i got the hint :-/ so this song made me cry too :'(
This song relates to me sooo much. 3 years ago, a guy made me fall head over heels for him. All my friends said he was a jerk, i didn't believe it. I made it clear how i felt to him, he just ignored the situation. Then, he betrayed me. Then he stopped speaking with me. Then, i begged him and pleaded with him to just talk to me, and he wouldnt. then, he dated one of my best friends for eight months. They just broke up, and he and i got into more fights. But now, he has started talking to me all of a sudden and i just ignore him, im finally over it. He can live with the pain, not me. Thats why i love this song so much, he was supposed to be prince charming on his white horse to come and save me. He wasn't .
I just wanted to say that I've loved this song since I heard it on Grey's. It's incredible.
i just wanted to say that that exact sichuation could be me in 7 more months. the same thing happened to me and now he is dating my best friend. it hurts
Same with me.im still going thru it too.
I love this song! i think its about a girl who really likes this boy, the boy plays around with her, making her belive that one day, maybe one day, the will finally be something. That day never came. She gave up. Now he wants her back. to late.
this song is the same exact situation im in, except he hasnt begged for forgiveness, or begged for me. im still trying to give up.
me too.im waiting but im trying to forget about him.its for the best.): i still love him.
Took the words right out of my mouth! Exactly what I think the song means.<br /> <br /> How I can relate is he hasn't begged for my forgiveness either<br />
I never thought anyone was going through the same thing as I was. I totally understand, and I'm glad that now I know I'm not alone.
@vvblondie101 Same here.
The whole song is amazing, and I can totally relate to it.
I love how in the last verse it changes from "I'm not a princess" to "I'm not YOUR princess" I think that's how every girl should feel, just like a guy treats her like crap doesn't mean she's not deserving, it means she needs to "find someone someday Who might actually treat [her] well"
Omg amazing song, I love it. I think it's about a girl who was really in love with a guy, and maybe they were good friends, but he never knew she liked him that way. Then he did something to betray her trust, maybe told her he loved her and then hooked up with another girl, and now she realizes that he never was her "prince" and she's not a princess. Especially the part: And there you are on your knees Begging for forgiveness Begging for me Just like I always wanted But I'm so sorry
He's begging for her to forgive him, he's begging for her, just like she always wanted him to, but she's not going to forgive him, because it's too late for him and his "white horse" to come and catch her.
I listen to this song everyday (and Im listening to it right now actually) because for the past few days I've been feeling like the girl in the song does. What I think is, the boy and girl are in a relationship, and he called her his Princess, but as time went on, he got busy with the rest of his life and wasnt' as dedicated to her as before, he didn't think of her as a priority, and he did so many things to hurt her, like not listen to her, or pay attention to her, and she forgave him every time, and always gave him a chance. She gave him so many chances she can't even count, but he doesn't even appreciate her for anything. For any little thing or any big thing. Now, she realizes she has to stand up for herself, that she doesn't have to take all this, there is someone out there who will treat her better. She's not going to give him another chance, no matter how much she loves him.
Girl meets boy and falls madly in love and is blinded by whatever mistakes boy made. And girl finally realises and you get this song.
I love it. I heard it on Grey's and I love it. Taylor Swift is awesome and the part at the bridge where she sings "so sorry", her voice's simply awesome.
