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.
It starts as one festering feeling
The kind that cuts from the flesh down to the soul
No way (no way) to make amends for the time behind the door
Street lights feed lies straight to the mind of the wishful wanderer
How could he give up?
No second chances to say goodbye!
Wrapped in this cold nostalgic energy, from cries of the ones who are buried
Ascend beyond
Life is ruthless and shot full of pain,
It lifts you up, leaves you out in the rain, and it hurts just to know that you're not
Coming back again
I will miss you my friend!
Memories like a slug to the brain, paint the walls that with a love that will stain
The darkest of nights!
You left to join with the stars and I cannot shake this off my chest
In death we grieve until all have transcended from this realm
In time we will meet again
Suddenly I can feel the connection between dimension ties
Open gut on the floor
Trembling down to the core
What is this?
It's been a long ride without you,
I'm lost inside my own world
There's not a single day where I've feigned the acceptance, but it's a somber stroll
Down this road that we call life
The silence still is crawling out of my sedated sight
How can I be free?
Wrapped in this cold nostalgic energy from cries of the ones who are buried
Ascend beyond
Life is ruthless and shot full of pain,
It lifts you up, leaves you out in the rain, and it hurts just to know that you're not
Coming back again
I will miss you my friend!
Memories like a slug to the brain, paint the walls that with a love that will stain the
Darkest of nights!
Left to journey alone, but I can find my way back home
The kind that cuts from the flesh down to the soul
No way (no way) to make amends for the time behind the door
Street lights feed lies straight to the mind of the wishful wanderer
How could he give up?
No second chances to say goodbye!

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
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.
Spencer said on his form spring that his friend, Shawn, died in 2005. without elaborating more about his fallen friend, he wanted to pay tribute to not only him but to everyone else in his life who had passed on.
The crack at the end of the song is Spencer smashing his headphones to the ground.
