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.
Further from my widowed home
Take the road that sets into the sun
Waiting for my skin and bone to return
And see what I've become
Summer has not yet been here
Though my days are long
Take me back to when the night was young
And another song was sung
What of all those pretty tales
The ones that took me to this door?
Is it comfort in the siren's wail
The comfort upon this wooden floor?
Tell you, is it a failure to forget the
Ones you once held dear?
And I try to remember but my
Mind is no longer clear
O-o-o oh Oh Ooh, You've recognized me
(O-o-o oh oh ooh ooh ooh) I followed far
Far from the trees
(O-o-o oh oh ooh) The roots came up
Up to my knees (O-o-o oh oh ooh ooh
Ooh) they twisted 'round
I made no sound, no sound
I wandered 'til my brittle
Bone had succumbed
And pulled me to the stone
Further from the towns you've known I'll
Remain from where I had begun
Stumble before I start I was kicking
All the stones as a child
In the meadow when the storm came through
And I burrowed straight back to you
O-o-o oh Oh Ooh, You've recognized me
(O-o-o oh Oh Ooh Ooh Ooh) , I followed far
Far from the trees
(O-o-o oh Oh Ooh) , The roots came up
Up to my knees (O-o-o oh Oh Ooh Ooh Ooh)
They twisted 'round
I made no sound, no sound
Take the road that sets into the sun
Waiting for my skin and bone to return
And see what I've become
Summer has not yet been here
Though my days are long
Take me back to when the night was young
And another song was sung
What of all those pretty tales
The ones that took me to this door?
Is it comfort in the siren's wail
The comfort upon this wooden floor?
Tell you, is it a failure to forget the
Ones you once held dear?
And I try to remember but my
Mind is no longer clear
O-o-o oh Oh Ooh, You've recognized me
(O-o-o oh oh ooh ooh ooh) I followed far
Far from the trees
(O-o-o oh oh ooh) The roots came up
Up to my knees (O-o-o oh oh ooh ooh
Ooh) they twisted 'round
I made no sound, no sound
I wandered 'til my brittle
Bone had succumbed
And pulled me to the stone
Further from the towns you've known I'll
Remain from where I had begun
Stumble before I start I was kicking
All the stones as a child
In the meadow when the storm came through
And I burrowed straight back to you
O-o-o oh Oh Ooh, You've recognized me
(O-o-o oh Oh Ooh Ooh Ooh) , I followed far
Far from the trees
(O-o-o oh Oh Ooh) , The roots came up
Up to my knees (O-o-o oh Oh Ooh Ooh Ooh)
They twisted 'round
I made no sound, no sound

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Further from my widowed home take the road that sets it to the sun. Waiting for my skin and bone to return and see what I've become. Summer has not yet been here, though my days are long. Take me back to when the night was young, and another song was sung.
What of all those pretty tales, the ones that took me to this door. Is it comfort in the sirens wails, is it comfort upon this wooden floor? Tell you, is it a failure to forget the ones that once have did? And I tried to remember but my mind is no longer clean.
Woah, You recognise me, Woah, I follow far, far from the trees, Woah, The roots came out, up to my knees, Woah, they twisted round, I made no sound... No sound..
I'll wander 'til my brittle bones has succumbed and pulled me to the stone, Further from the towns you've known I'll remain from where I have begun. Stumbl before I start I was kicking home stones as a child, In the meadow when the storm came through and I burrowed straight back to you.
Woah, You recognise me, Woah, I follow far, far from the trees, Woah, The roots came out, up to my knees, Woah, they twisted round, I made no sound... No sound.
Would you ever doubt my love when my day is done, I'll lay down my body within this earth I've won, Would you try to follow the roads I had to walk? There's a whisper in the willow, from there you'll hear me talk.
I'm hearing "is it a failure to forget the ones you once held dear" but otherwise this is spot on.
I'm pretty certain it's:<br /> <br /> "Tell you, is it a failure to forget the ones you once held dear? <br /> And I tried to remember but my mind is no longer clear."<br /> <br /> Nice job translating though.<br />
