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.
Is there something I can do?
Given mistakes I put you through
There's no limit to this,
just give us what we need
Should you stagger, should you fall
Remember this and remember them all
You're a wretched design
and this is all your fault
They're going to press you
to leave now, we'll look through
and find you're no better when you left to go
Cause' there's just no one in this world like you, my darling
Dear, can I go living on this life without you?
Let this be my guiding wish, please give me more than this
It hurt so, please, I paid my price, my penance
Hush
There is no lover just
enough to murder us
I am your ghost
Disturbed, you ponder these tainted dreams
No questions unanswered, your future sings
There are limits to love, now learn to feel it's sting
You will shatter, you will fold,
rendering helpless, your world dissolves
you can push on these walls
but help wont hear that call
They're going to press you to leave now
We'll look through
and find you're no better when you left to go
Cause' there's just no one in this world like you, my darling
Dear, can I go living on this life without you?
Let this be my guiding wish, please give me more than this
It hurts so, please, I paid my price, my penance
Hush
There is no lover just
enough to murder us
I am your ghost
"No matter what you tell yourself, ladies and gentlemen, there is no end to the rainbow, no greater good or purpose that you or I fervently service.
There is one thing that we can all accrue up to doing suddenly and that's dying, why waste your time wondering who you are when there are plenty of things you aren't?
Let's give our egos a rest and put our hearts to work shall we?"
Cause' there's just no one in this world like you, my darling

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.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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.
so badass.
