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.
Got no job,
Got no cash,
Going nowhere
And going fast.
This whole deal
It’s just no good
Gonna get out
While the getting’s good
Stuck in the tunnel and I’m looking for the light
It seems like everybody’s itching for a fight
Well we don’t wanna cause no fuss
Yeah, we just want a little revolution
We don’t wanna spill no blood
Yeah, we just need a little revolution
Got no chance
Got no fun
Not so cool
When you’re young
Time is money
And money’s power
They got theirs
What about ours?
See the riots on the TV every day
Sometimes it’s looking like there ain’t another day
Well we don’t wanna cause no fuss
Yeah, we just want a little revolution
We don’t wanna spill no blood
Yeah, we just need a little revolution
We don’t wanna wreck this town
Yeah, we just want a little revolution
We don’t wanna burn it down
Yeah, we just need a little revolution
You’ll never know what it’s like standing in my shoes
But if you corner me, you’re gonna find a fighter
Your cameras gazing down from cold surveillance towers
But in our darkest hours, it’s only getting brighter
Fires burning higher…
Well we don’t wanna cause no fuss
Yeah, we just want a little revolution
We don’t wanna spill no blood
Yeah, we just need a little revolution
We don’t wanna wreck this town
Yeah, we just want a little revolution
We don’t wanna burn it down
Yeah, we just need a little revolution
Got no cash,
Going nowhere
And going fast.
This whole deal
It’s just no good
Gonna get out
While the getting’s good
Stuck in the tunnel and I’m looking for the light
It seems like everybody’s itching for a fight
Well we don’t wanna cause no fuss
Yeah, we just want a little revolution
We don’t wanna spill no blood
Yeah, we just need a little revolution
Got no chance
Got no fun
Not so cool
When you’re young

We don’t wanna burn it down
Yeah, we just need a little revolution

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
