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.
Baby, baby tell me what's up? Can you hear me?
Or do I, do I need to turn it up? (Huh, huh)
Baby, baby tell me what's up? Can you hear me?
Or do I, do I need to turn it up? (Huh, what?)
Baby, baby tell me what's up? Can you hear me?

Boy, this evenin' was it only me
Feelin' completely down to be open?
Down to be open for some satisfaction
Didn't want to say yes, afraid of your reaction
I knew it was wrong, for feelin' this way
Especially the thought of givin' in on the first date
Couldn't let go, it stayed on my mind
At the end of the night I had to decide, I was thinkin'
I should make a move but I won't (I should, I should)
I know you're probably thinkin' somethin' is wrong
Knowin' if I do that it won't be right
I don't get down on the first night
I should make a move but I won't
I know you're probably thinkin' somethin' is wrong
Knowin' if I do that it won't be right
I wanna get down, but not the first night
We were chillin' watchin' your T.V.
I felt it was comin' the closer that you got to me
Wanted to touch you, wanted to kiss you
And some how in one night, discover I love you
Felt so right, but it felt so wrong
And look how we are carryin' on
Tryna say things to get me to stay
But my watch is tellin' me it's gettin' too late, I'm thinkin'
I should make a move but I won't (I should, I should)
I know you're probably thinkin' somethin' is wrong (knowin')
Knowin' if I do that it won't be right (be right)
I don't get down on the first night (I don't, I don't get down, baby)
I should make a move but I won't
I know you're probably thinkin' somethin' is wrong (you're probably thinkin' something's wrong)
Knowin' if I do that it won't be right
I wanna get down, but not the first night
If you, want me, you got to know me (got to know me)
And if you want my love (my love) you gotta wait, my love
Baby, that's the way it's got to be (yeah)
Get to know me (get to know me) so we can do this, ooh

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
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.
This song gives out a good message like Amanda's "Everybody Doesn't." Although I never really liked this song when it was out, it's starting to grow on me now. I like how she admits she does want to "get down" but not on the first night. :)
