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.
Cuizinier, with your little dick surrounded by ginger pubes
I can't believe you could think we want you
Even if you were in the dark,
Or if you kept your pajamas on
Or your nightshirt that looks like an old t-shirt
Keep your shirt on, it'll lessen the damage, bastard
I want to see you
In a porno
In action with your cock
Shaped like potatoes or fries
To know everything
About your anatomy
On your cousin Teki
And your sex toys
Cuizi, what is
Your favorite position?
Your Olympic performances
But there's nothing orgasmic about you
You are totally naked
Under your apron
Ready to go
But I'm telling you, it isn't happening
You dream of a fluorescent Hummer
Designed by Akroe
But you don't have a license
You always take the metro
Superstar by night, your life returns to normal after
No need to hide behind sunglasses
From people who recognize you
Your green card awaits you, dude
These aren't empty words
I've succeeded in making you
One with my scanner
Admission is free tonight
It's the only reason we'd leave
So girls, we're walking
Yeah, we're going to Chippendales
We don't plan to spend our night with clowns
We want to see some pecs, guys hung like bulls
Your posters of Lil Jon cover those of Magic Johnson
Your body is too crunk to dunk
Cuiziner, it's you who I want to see
Who I want to see tonight
Being made fun of by a girl who raps better than you
My 10 fingers aren't enough to count those in the room
Those girls like me who know what you're worth naked
I can't believe you could think we want you
Even if you were in the dark,
Or if you kept your pajamas on
Or your nightshirt that looks like an old t-shirt
Keep your shirt on, it'll lessen the damage, bastard
I want to see you
In a porno
In action with your cock
Shaped like potatoes or fries
To know everything
About your anatomy
On your cousin Teki
And your sex toys
Cuizi, what is
Your favorite position?
Your Olympic performances
But there's nothing orgasmic about you
You are totally naked
Under your apron
Ready to go
But I'm telling you, it isn't happening
You dream of a fluorescent Hummer
Designed by Akroe
But you don't have a license
You always take the metro
Superstar by night, your life returns to normal after
No need to hide behind sunglasses
From people who recognize you
Your green card awaits you, dude
These aren't empty words
I've succeeded in making you
One with my scanner
Admission is free tonight
It's the only reason we'd leave
So girls, we're walking
Yeah, we're going to Chippendales
We don't plan to spend our night with clowns
We want to see some pecs, guys hung like bulls
Your posters of Lil Jon cover those of Magic Johnson
Your body is too crunk to dunk
Cuiziner, it's you who I want to see
Who I want to see tonight
Being made fun of by a girl who raps better than you
My 10 fingers aren't enough to count those in the room
Those girls like me who know what you're worth naked

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.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
I had no idea what this song was about. But now that I know I like it even more...hehhe
FANTASTIC job translating the meaning, rather than just the words. One error, though: it should be "No need to hide behind sunglasses / Nobody recognizes you". But other than that - nice. I know French fairly well, but since I don't live there, slang goes right over my head.
I had no idea this song was this nasty! I love this girl being such a feminist even though she works with two guys! And attacking some rappers with her lyrics! Wow, I love Yelle even more. Je veux te voir dans un film pornographique en action avec ta bite forme patatoes on bien frites!
