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 am the blank page before you
I am the fine idea you crave
I live and breathe under the moon
And when you cross that bridge
I'll come find you
Stay awake with me
You know I can't just let you be
Stay awake with me
Take your hand and come and find me
I don't have a skin like you do
To keep it all in like you do
I don't have a soul like you
The only one I have
Is the one I stole from you
Stay awake with me
You know I can't just let you be
Stay awake with me
Take your hand and come and find me
Stay awake with me
You know I can't just let you be
Stay awake with me
Take your hand and come and find me
I am the fine idea you crave
I live and breathe under the moon
And when you cross that bridge
I'll come find you
Stay awake with me
You know I can't just let you be
Stay awake with me
Take your hand and come and find me
I don't have a skin like you do
To keep it all in like you do
I don't have a soul like you
The only one I have
Is the one I stole from you
Stay awake with me
You know I can't just let you be
Stay awake with me
Take your hand and come and find me
Stay awake with me
You know I can't just let you be
Stay awake with me
Take your hand and come and find me

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
this is my first post, but i really like this song right now, and i had an idea for how this could be interpreted. as with any song or work of art, it can mean something different to every single person who encounters it, but this is just how i take it.
i feel as though it could come from the perspective of the creative mind at night, whether it be writing songs or painting pictures or what have you.
literally, i am the blank page before you, i am the fine idea you crave - this is as if you were sitting down to write, and your mind will not let you leave the page before exploring this emotion you can't move away from. you're just searching for the right words.
i live and breathe under the moon, and when you cross the bridge i'll come find you - this is (as with most artists, regardless of their particular outlet) as if all of her long, quiet nights of thought and self analyzation leave an open space for creating, giving the impression that it is a real person you visit in the evening, who is waiting and will find you at the end of your 'bridge' and help you source and communicate your feelings.
stay awake with me, you know i can't just let you be - the feeling is there, don't leave the page blank and potentially lose your work in dreams, stay awake and work it out, express it.
i don't have a skin like you do, to hold it all in like you do, i don't have a soul like you, the only one i have is the one i stole from you - again, literally. despite the feeling that her artistic outlet is a real 'person' existing alongside her, the only way it can find a voice is to be spoken for. it can't hold in feelings like a person can, it's like an inner voice constantly saying 'something is not right, you're missing something', it's the nagging thought in the back of your head that you should say something, but what...? and the only soul it has, is the one that was contributed by the artist almost unwillingly, because like with most things you create abstractly, your heart and mind sort of become hostage to whatever your muses are... almost as if they're suddenly possessed by a feeling in order for you to make beautiful things.
