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.
united by music and haircuts, a brand new army of suits that got sawn up
to fit the smiles of the do-gooders parade
but it's not our nation state that needs to be saved
a galmourous posturing of old design, so join the safety crusade and we all feel fine
yeah you have been noble but bullshit is all i see, uniting people around nationality
hey, what does this mean we're building bigger walls around you and me and i said
hey, who's really been saved by the united artists crusade
united by features of excess, passing out crubms at their convenience
the upper-class are laughing at us yet since you keep missing the target
a soothing tone of a whole lot of nothing, entertainment aid to try to prove something
while the power that produces poverty still remains intact for you and me
hey, what does this mean we're building bigger walls around you and me and i said

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.
