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.
In my time, that's the way I usually go
And when I feel fine, that's when I'll be letting you know
I try, try keeping it slow, taking it slow
But I can't sustain it
Letting it go, letting it go (so easily)
So I try
As best as I can to break my fall
But you about to send me baby
You about to set me off
I don't wanna do it, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna but my fuses are about to blow
My alarm is going, I'm on high alert
Baby it's enough just set me off, just set me off
Set me off, just set me off
Be aware, I am not your everyday babe
We'll I'm there, I'm there
Everything all in, they play fair
Keeping it real, keeping it cool
But I gotta tell ya
I am a high heating with you
So I try, as best as I can to stay on my heels but they are breaking I'm so shaky
You about to set me off
I don't wanna do it, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna but my fuses are about to blow
My alarm is going, I'm on high alert
Baby it's enough just set me off, just set me off
Set me off, just set me off
Just set me off, just set me off
It's crazy, I am always in control
But baby with you I'm good to go
Take caution, I'm about to blow my top
Come closer baby set me off, just set me off
Yeah
I don't wanna do it, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna but my fuses are about to blow
My alarm is going, I'm on high alert
Baby it's enough just set me off, just set me off
Set me off, just set me off
I don't wanna do it, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna but my fuses are about to blow
My alarm is going, I'm on high alert
Baby it's enough just set me off, just set me off
Set me off, just set me off
Just set me off, just set me off
Set me off, just set me off
Set me off, just set me off
And when I feel fine, that's when I'll be letting you know
I try, try keeping it slow, taking it slow
But I can't sustain it
Letting it go, letting it go (so easily)
So I try
As best as I can to break my fall
But you about to send me baby
You about to set me off
I don't wanna do it, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna but my fuses are about to blow
My alarm is going, I'm on high alert
Baby it's enough just set me off, just set me off
Set me off, just set me off
Be aware, I am not your everyday babe
We'll I'm there, I'm there
Everything all in, they play fair

Set me off, just set me off
Just set me off, just set me off
Set me off, just set me off
Set me off, just set me off

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.
