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.
Indistinguishable from one another
No possible intention to even bother
It doesn't matter what is said or how we say it
Coincidentally, we all sound exactly the same
We all want to swindle kids out of their money
If you're still doing this 'cause you believe in it
You are so fucking lame!
[Jimmy's mom speaking Spanish]
"Yo supe que nadie iba a comprender tu musica
pero tu no me hiciste caso,
yo te dije, no te vistas en color rosa"
Hey
When the world's overrun
With too many bands
Who is it time for
Mark Chapman
Hey
When they all seem absurd
He will thin out the herd
Ladies and gentleman
Mark Chapman
Now
There is no heart
There is no fear
We all just cry
The same old tear
Don't look to me
I do not lead
I'm just in front
And they're all following
Some other motherfucker
Without the balls or cojones
To take a hold of the reins
And use them
Why is something so obvious so elusive?
There is nothing on the menu that will turn abusive
I am part of the problem
Not the solution
I'm just a prisoner
In the same prison as you
We wait for other shoes to fall into positions
Already obsolete
No one will miss us at all
[Jimmy's mom speaking Spanish]
"Yo te dije, no debes de firmar con una compaáia de discos tan grande,
ellos no te aprecian, yo no creo en ti"
Hey
When the world's overrun
With too many bands
Who is it time for
Mark Chapman
Hey
When they all seem absurd
He will thin out the herd
Ladies and gentleman
Mark Chapman
Now
There is no awe
There is no fear
We all just cry
The same old tear
I can not tell
Is it just me
Or do we all
Look just like
Adolph fucking Hitler
With this swoopy emo-boy dreamy haircut
Dangling in our faces
Making us all indescribably indistinguishable from each other
Or maybe I'm just another megalomaniac...
Reginald, release the hounds
[Jimmy's mom speaking Spanish]
"Donde esta todo el dinero que me debes? LADRON!"

Fast Car

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
