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.
Oh, take these stones away
Start a brand new story.
I'll make it through each day
Singing death or glory.
Lord won't answer me
I won't let it bring me down.
I know these clouds are gray
That I am living under.
I know I'll be okay
With the rain or thunder.
I hear it calling me
I won't march into the sound.
Ooh, whoa.
I just get this feeling
You're holding me down.
And these answers I'm needing
I guess they're being smothered by the sound.
Of all this emotion
And all of this hate.
Still I keep searching for something to put my faith in,
To find my place so I keep singing.
Oh, take these stones away
Start a brand new story.
I'll make it through each day
Singing eath or glory.
Lord won't answer me
I won't let it bring me down.
Ooh, whoa.
Hold on,
Hold on,
We'll move along.
Where we belong
Where we belong.
My heart, my soul.
I don't need a vision
I'd like to embrace.
And not only false promises, hopes and wishes.
To find my place
So I keep singing.
Oh, take these stones away
Start a brand new story.
I'll make it through each day
Singing death or glory.
Lord won't answer me
I won't let it bring me down.
Ooh, whoa.
Where we belong
Where we belong
My heart, my soul.
We stand alone.
Hold on,
Hold on,
Where we belong.
My heart, my song.
We stand alone.
Hold on,
Hold on,
Where we belong.
My heart, my song.
We stand alone.
Hold on,
Hold on,
Where we belong.
My heart, my soul
Yeah!
Oh, take these stones away
Start a brand new story.
I'll make it through each day
Singing death or glory.
Lord won't answer me
I won't let it bring me down.
Start a brand new story.
I'll make it through each day
Singing death or glory.
Lord won't answer me
I won't let it bring me down.
I know these clouds are gray
That I am living under.
I know I'll be okay
With the rain or thunder.
I hear it calling me
I won't march into the sound.
Ooh, whoa.
I just get this feeling
You're holding me down.
And these answers I'm needing
I guess they're being smothered by the sound.
Of all this emotion
And all of this hate.
Still I keep searching for something to put my faith in,
To find my place so I keep singing.
Oh, take these stones away
Start a brand new story.
I'll make it through each day
Singing eath or glory.
Lord won't answer me
I won't let it bring me down.
Ooh, whoa.
Hold on,
Hold on,
We'll move along.
Where we belong
Where we belong.
My heart, my soul.
I don't need a vision
I'd like to embrace.
And not only false promises, hopes and wishes.
To find my place
So I keep singing.
Oh, take these stones away
Start a brand new story.

Ooh, whoa.
Where we belong
Where we belong
My heart, my soul.
We stand alone.

My heart, my song.
We stand alone.
Hold on,
Hold on,
Where we belong.
My heart, my song.
We stand alone.
Hold on,

I'll make it through each day
Singing death or glory.

Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
FIRST.
He's talking about his life experiences.
'take these clouds away' the negative aspects of being in a band, touring, psychotic fans, away from loved ones etc
False promises, hopes and wishes - in the industry they work in they are open to ALOT of lies, deceit and people only looking out for themselves.
