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 remembered you from school
But I never got your call back then
But there was something out the blue
I received a note from you, an old friend
You'd found me on Facebook
And dropped me a line
We talked of our school days
And spoke of old times
I remembered you were nice
But you were fitter in your Myspace picture
I remembered you were nice
But you were fitter in your Myspace picture
So what do you say?
How about a drink one day?
And maybe, maybe something more
We'd been talking for a week
When you said that we should meet some time
I've already had a nose
At your pics and videos online
From Facebook to Myspace
I asked you 'round my place
You are way too noisy
So I left disappointed
I thought you were nice
But you were fitter in your Myspace picture
I thought you were nice
But you were fitter in your Myspace picture
I don't mean to complain
Because it's great to see you again
I just thought there might be something more
There might be, there might be
There might be, there might be something more
There might be, there might be
There might be, there might be something more

Enjoy all those pictures
Just don't get excited
I thought that you were nice
But you were fitter in your Myspace picture
I thought that you were nice
But you were fitter in your Myspace picture
I thought that you were nice
But you were fitter in your Myspace picture
I thought that you were nice
But you were fitter in your Myspace picture
I don't mean to complain
Because it's great to see you again
I just thought there might be something more
But I never got your call back then
But there was something out the blue
I received a note from you, an old friend
You'd found me on Facebook
And dropped me a line

But you were fitter in your Myspace picture

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
