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.
A little dust never stopped me none, he liked my shoes I kept them on.
Sometimes I can hold my tongue, sometimes not,
When you just skip-to-loo, my darlin',
And you know what you're doin' so don't even
You're just too used to my honey, now.
You're just too used to my honey.
And I think I could leave your world,
If she was the better girl.
So when we died I tried to bribe the undertaker.
'Cause I'm not sure what you're doin' or the reasons.
You're just too used to my honey, now.
You're just too used to my honey.
Hey, yeah you're just too used to my honey, now.
Don't bother coming down,
I made a friend of the western sky.
Don't bother coming down,
You always like your babies tight.
Turn back one last time, love to watch those cowboys ride.
But cowboys know cowgirls ride on the Indian side.
And you know what you're doin' so don't even
You're just too used to my honey, now.
You're just too used to my honey.
Hey, yeah you're just too used to my honey, now.
You're just too used to my honey, now.
Sometimes I can hold my tongue, sometimes not,
When you just skip-to-loo, my darlin',
And you know what you're doin' so don't even
You're just too used to my honey, now.
You're just too used to my honey.
And I think I could leave your world,
If she was the better girl.
So when we died I tried to bribe the undertaker.
'Cause I'm not sure what you're doin' or the reasons.
You're just too used to my honey, now.
You're just too used to my honey.
Hey, yeah you're just too used to my honey, now.
Don't bother coming down,
I made a friend of the western sky.
Don't bother coming down,
You always like your babies tight.
Turn back one last time, love to watch those cowboys ride.
But cowboys know cowgirls ride on the Indian side.
And you know what you're doin' so don't even
You're just too used to my honey, now.
You're just too used to my honey.
Hey, yeah you're just too used to my honey, now.
You're just too used to my honey, now.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

Hayalperest
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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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 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,
"a little dust never stopped me none, he liked my shoes so I kept them on"
this part refers to oral sex, the cowboy type she's fallen for likes it when she keeps her shoes on during it.
"you're just too used to my honey, now. you're just too used to my honey." This refers to her cowboy type she's fallen for being used to her honey (how she tastes down there and wanting to try other womens honey and see if its sweeter, how he now wants to explore). "and I think I could leave your world, if she was the better girl. so when we died I tried to bribe the undertaker. 'cause I'm not sure what you're doin' or the reasons."
This part if about her saying she'd have left him except for the fact that she was a better person and better for him than this new honey pot side dish he'd been sipping from on the side. Then she goes on to say, once her and this cowboy guys relationship was officially dead, she wanted answers anyway she could find them ...she'd go to any lengths necessary, even bribing this new honey pot he'd left her for (the new honey pot is the undertake she's referring to) ...Because she really was convinced she was better for him and guess she thought he'd come around and figure that out.
"don't bother coming down, i made a friend of the western sky. don't bother coming down, you always like your babies tight."
She's eventually realizes she's better off without him, and says don't bother coming down to see me, don't visit, I am doing fine without you now and things are looking up for me, blue skies ahead. Don't bother coming to see me anymore, don't even, I know you like to keep your babies tight with you and all but not this one, no longer am I one of your babies, I want no parts of you anymore. No longer am I your baby honey pie, so beat it buster.
"turn back one last time, love to watch those cowboys ride. but cowboys know that cowgirls ride on the Indian side. and you know what you're doin' so don't even..." This really pionts to a sexual position where the woman is on top of the man "riding cowgirl", and how hot it is to see it and how she enjoys the position and the sense of empowerment, it pins the woman on top and in control, much like the Indians were pinned against the cowboys in the wild wild west. And she's saying and you knew what you were doing when it came to that position too.
