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.
Society made to destroy souls.
Bound, gagged, silence us all, rewards too small.
Watch your plans unfold, lead me to the ledge.
Make me walk the path into the sea of endless misery.
Lead me blindfolded into the cell where i'll remain evermore.
Clip these wings, artificial success, no results, lost souls, tense times shared.
You rule supreme, yet you rule not over me.
Our precious time spend adding fuel to your raging flame.
Accelerate your growth,
the power lies in your hands.
The rocks fall still, the cliffs erode.
No satisfaction found down your road.
Resistance felt from this brick wall, it stands strong.
Withstand your fire, untouched by your iron claw.
Buried alive, i'll work these coffin nails free.
Through tinted lenses, your sunset will not draw me in.
Cut the chord, i'll chase my light.
The foundations laid beneath me strong hold me high.
Stand my ground, reclaim my place.
Unlike moths drawn to light.
Avidance proves its worth.
Glorious this failure, drowning makes the water taste like wine.
Bound, gagged, silence us all, rewards too small.
Watch your plans unfold, lead me to the ledge.
Make me walk the path into the sea of endless misery.
Lead me blindfolded into the cell where i'll remain evermore.
Clip these wings, artificial success, no results, lost souls, tense times shared.
You rule supreme, yet you rule not over me.
Our precious time spend adding fuel to your raging flame.
Accelerate your growth,
the power lies in your hands.
The rocks fall still, the cliffs erode.
No satisfaction found down your road.
Resistance felt from this brick wall, it stands strong.
Withstand your fire, untouched by your iron claw.
Buried alive, i'll work these coffin nails free.
Through tinted lenses, your sunset will not draw me in.
Cut the chord, i'll chase my light.
The foundations laid beneath me strong hold me high.
Stand my ground, reclaim my place.
Unlike moths drawn to light.
Avidance proves its worth.
Glorious this failure, drowning makes the water taste like wine.
