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.
call out what we’ve become
the news has turned to numb
locked in nearsight
on the latest device
let the yet-to-be pick up the tab
say we can’t escape
though there’s plenty of space
barring holding on to what we used to have
in your head, where we’re headed
you gotta let it on by, let me go
and get it in your head, where we’re headed
you gotta let it all die, let me go
we lay it out on the map
debate it all in caps
lock our eyes on
distant horizons
where we will shift to some informed accord
in another town
settle up, settle down
we insist on the option or we’re out the door
so get it in your head…
gone, it’s gone
gave in again, now let me go
gone, it’s gone
gave in again, now let me go
or maybe this is a test
maybe this is a course correction
oh I said it, no no don’t let it get out of control
in your head, where we’re headed
you gotta let it on by, let me go
and get it in your head, where we’re headed
you gotta let it all die, let me go
this hope, it begins to know
we could return again, don’t let me go
I get it in my heart, I know we could restart
we can begin again, don’t let me go
gone, it’s gone
return again, don’t let me go
gone, it’s gone
begin again, don’t let me go
the news has turned to numb
locked in nearsight
on the latest device
let the yet-to-be pick up the tab
say we can’t escape
though there’s plenty of space
barring holding on to what we used to have

gone, it’s gone
return again, don’t let me go
gone, it’s gone
begin again, don’t let me go

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
At the concerts on 10/2/13 and 10/3/13, Vienna stated that she had the rhythm and melody for this song long before she wrote the lyrics and that for the longest time it was just sung with "nonsense words and syllables." She said that even now, the words don't really matter.
