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.
There's no easy way to explain,
How I feel for you,
So I say with every emotion,
What falling in love can do,
To my romantic heart,
You've helped me through the rain,
Take me in your arms,
I give you control,
Tenderly, whisper to me,
I'm all you need, finally...
Candlelight and you,
For all the things
That you are to me,
And what you do,
I want candlelight and you,
The end of the day
I will faithfully come home to,
Candlelight and you,
Take everything away from me,
What sees me through,
Candlelight and you,
In all of the world,
I know it's true,
Nothing compares to candlelight and you
Lady, there's no way to deny,
That you keep love new,
So I'll give you what you desire,
I found what I need in you,
You can believe in me,
And I won't let you down, I'll be here,
And I want you to know that I love you,
Like no other man could ever, ever do,
And I'll keep holding on
For candlelight and you
Candlelight and you,
For all the things
That you are to me,
And what you do,
I want candlelight and you,
The end of the day
I will faithfully come home to you,
Candlelight and you,
Take everything away from me,
What sees me through,
Candlelight and you,
In all of the world,
I know it's true,
Nothing compares to candlelight and you
I'm in the mood tonight,
I feel as free
As a kiss in the wind,
And if I had to live my life
All over again,
What I would do,
Is be with you
Candlelight and you,
For all the things
That you are to me,
And what you do,
I want candlelight and you,
The end of the day
I will faithfully come home to,
Candlelight and you,
Take everything away from me,
What sees me through,
Candlelight and you,
In all of the world,
I know it's true,
Nothing compares to candlelight and you
Tonight is the night,
Let's turn off the lights,
I'm in the mood,
The mood for you
Come on, come on,
Tell me will this be right,
I've been waiting on to you,
Just for you,
Let's go, baby
Come on, come on, come on,
Light a candlelight,
Candlelight and you,
Let's do it right,
Give me the love
I want from you,
Candlelight and you,
I want candlelight and you
How I feel for you,
So I say with every emotion,
What falling in love can do,
To my romantic heart,
You've helped me through the rain,
Take me in your arms,
I give you control,
Tenderly, whisper to me,
I'm all you need, finally...
Candlelight and you,
For all the things
That you are to me,
And what you do,
I want candlelight and you,
The end of the day
I will faithfully come home to,
Candlelight and you,
Take everything away from me,
What sees me through,
Candlelight and you,
In all of the world,
I know it's true,
Nothing compares to candlelight and you
Lady, there's no way to deny,
That you keep love new,
So I'll give you what you desire,
I found what I need in you,
You can believe in me,
And I won't let you down, I'll be here,
And I want you to know that I love you,
Like no other man could ever, ever do,
And I'll keep holding on
For candlelight and you
Candlelight and you,
For all the things
That you are to me,
And what you do,
I want candlelight and you,

Candlelight and you,
Take everything away from me,

The mood for you
Come on, come on,
Tell me will this be right,
I've been waiting on to you,
Just for you,
Let's go, baby
Come on, come on, come on,
Light a candlelight,
Candlelight and you,
Let's do it right,
Give me the love
I want from you,
Candlelight and you,
I want candlelight and you

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”
No Surprises
Radiohead

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
Head > Heels
