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.
[Tone Loc]
C'mon now
Rock it til you drop it
Mmmhmm
Ahh ahh
Rock it til you drop it
You know what I'm saying
When your walking, walking
Your body's talking to me
But your mouth aint makin' a sound
When i'm stalking, stalking
I can feel my body rocking
What are these feelings i found
It's in the way that he moves
It's in the way that he likes the things I do
It's in the way that he grooves
You know I love it when he takes me dancing
I never waited for the special one
I thought I'd settle for a setting sun
Tonight's the night we'll get this party on
And on and on
And on and on and on
[Tone Loc]
C'mon now
Rock it til you drop it
Hey
And I'm ticking, ticking
As you hit that tricky rhythm
You take me out on the floor
I've been itching, itching
For the jive that you've been dripping
And you got me wanting it more
It's in the way that he moves
It's in the way that he likes the things I do
It's in the way that he grooves
You know I love it when he takes me dancing
I never waited for the special one
I thought I'd settle for a setting sun
Tonights the night we'll get this party on
And on and on
And on and on and on
[Tone Loc]
C'mon now
Rock it til you drop it
You know what i'm saying
We'll be rocking it all night long
We'll be dropping it til the break of dawn
There's not stopping it
Once the freak is on is on
And on and on and on
We'll be rocking it all night long
We'll be dropping it til the break of dawn
There's not stopping it
Once the freak is on is on
And on and on and on
Hey
I never waited for the special one
I thought I'd settle for a setting sun
Tonights the night we'll get this party on
And on and on
And on and on and on
I never waited for the special one
I thought I'd settle for a setting sun
Tonights the night we'll get this party on
And on and on
And on and on and on
C'mon now
Rock it til you drop it
Mmmhmm

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 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.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Its cool to be the first one to post a comment on this song, I Love Fefe Dobson, she's beautiful and its cool that there is a Black girl in the music buisness who is doing Rock instead of Rap,R&B,Hip-Hop. This is one of my favorite songs, Fefe if you ever read this, I love you.
This was the third song I had heard from Fefe. I think it's cool she added a song tinged with a hip-hop feel to it. Seeing as that was the first genre of music that I really got into, it really solidified my liking of Fefe.
One more thing, alot of artists try to be or say they fit into a certain type of music. Listening to her album, it feels like Fefe is just trying to be Fefe. Nothing else.
She incorporates a lot of different styles of music into her first album. Classic rock, punk, hip-hop, light rock...heck, the intro to "Kiss Me Fool" has a "broadway tune-esque" vibe to it. She is truly one of those artists that can adapt to any style and do anything well. Which is why she is one of my favorite artists.
As far as this song, it's pretty straightforward. Just keep rocking Fef.
Oh, and I forgot to add, any song featuring Tone "Wild Thing" Loc...classic.
Truly rockin' track.
