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.
Louisiana, in the Bucket of Blood
That's where they met, his eyes were like mud
Cause his whole life he had nothing to see
But he held on to her and he found peace
He'd take her walking down by North Shore
And he always told her
We're meant for much more
We outta go off somewhere so pretty
And then a storm came and fucked up the
Crescent City
And then they were left with nothing
She said nothing's not so bad
It could be the best time that we ever had
Every single day
I can feel them chip, chip chipping away
If only we could run, run from these swine
Oh baby we are wasted in this time
Someday if we try
I know we could fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
We shine like gold
Oh baby we were born to be adored
And I can feel them staring in my face
Like they're dig, dig, digging me,
Digging a grave
It's like these people are dead they're so weak
And someone dug them up and gave them
Words for their lips to beat
And then they were left with nothing
She said nothing is not so bad
It could be the best time we ever had
That's where they met, his eyes were like mud
Cause his whole life he had nothing to see
But he held on to her and he found peace
He'd take her walking down by North Shore
And he always told her
We're meant for much more
We outta go off somewhere so pretty
And then a storm came and fucked up the
Crescent City
And then they were left with nothing
She said nothing's not so bad
It could be the best time that we ever had
Every single day
I can feel them chip, chip chipping away
If only we could run, run from these swine
Oh baby we are wasted in this time
Someday if we try
I know we could fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
We shine like gold
Oh baby we were born to be adored
And I can feel them staring in my face
Like they're dig, dig, digging me,
Digging a grave
It's like these people are dead they're so weak
And someone dug them up and gave them
Words for their lips to beat
And then they were left with nothing
She said nothing is not so bad
It could be the best time we ever had

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
