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.
I can't explain but I wanna try
There's this image of you and I
And it goes dancing by
In the morning and in the night time
There's all these secrets that I can't keep
Like in my heart there's that hotel suite
And you lived there so long
It's kinda strange, now you're gone
I'm not sure if I should
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop) Show you what I've found
Has it gone for good? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Or is it coming back around? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Isn't it hard to make up your mind? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop) When you're losing
And your fuse is fireside? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
There's all those places we used to go
And I suspect you already know
But that place on memory lane you like still looks the same
But something about it's changed
I'm not sure if I should
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop) Show you what I've found
Has it gone for good? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Or is it coming back around? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Isn't it hard to make up your mind? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop) When you're losing
And your fuse is fireside? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
And I thought I was yours (shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Forever (shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Or maybe I was mistaken (shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
But I just cannot manage (shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
To make it through the day (shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Without thinking of you lately
I'm not sure if I should
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop) Show you what I've found
Has it gone for good? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Or is it coming back around? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Isn't it hard to make up your mind? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop) When you're losing
And your fuse is fireside? (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
There's this image of you and I

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
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.
First I would like to say this song fits my current situation. As I interprets this song I could be the one singing it.
I interprets this song as the two had ended their relationship, but he has some unresolved feelings towards her (Assumed), because he still has strong feelings for her, be she doesn't seem to know what she want's. He don't know if she's ever coming back, even though they have been together for so long. He thought they would be together allways and he can't move on the images of her (them) haunts his thoughts day and night. Still he can't get through the day without thinking of her. When he thinks of all the memories they had together, they are all ruined because the only reminds him of his loss. But in the end he is the one loosing. The hotel suite is an analogy the the space he has for her in his heart, however now that they aren't together anymore it feels empty, even though he still loves her.
I hope someone understands my interpretation of this song. Best Regards Chris S. Ramming
