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.
farther leads to you
sink and whine
livid cries
I'm still in line
lose me
I cling to this
I know it's on you
it's around
this time I will be calm
see it in time
as far as I know
you will be with me
as I whine
sink and whine
livid cries
I'm still in line
lose me
I cling to this
I know it's on you
it's around
this time I will be calm
see it in time
as far as I know
you will be with me
as I whine

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.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,

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.
Unbelievably gorgeous.
this song is absolutely amazing. denali is way underappreciated.
her voice on this song is nothing short of haunting....like something a ghost would sing to her former lover when she is haunting him in his sleep...or something considerably less lame sounding than that, haha
Yeah, why did they have to break? Gotta bo one of the most amazing undiscovered bands ever... her voice is orgasmic. If I die n come back to haunt somone, Im gunna play this song.
The band is back TOGETHER! Go to there myspace and check it out
listening to this song, it pisses me that off that they broke up.
because its so effing beautiful!
I read somewhere on myspace that they broke up because of it becoming all about business instead of music. Maura had another band called Ambulette and they broke up too.
beautiful beautiful beautiful... i love them so much
to me, it almost sounds like the subject of the song had been with her previously but left her because she was too dramatic... and she sounds like she's determined to get him back, almost like she is obsessed... kind of reminds me of the movie swimfan
