its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
What?
I'm back
You don't say that I'm pretty
All these simple things
Adding up to big ones
There is where you messed up
No movies or flowers
Hours not knowing
Where you are or who you're with
There is where you messed up
You keep on actin' like
I really need a brother
Man I don't need a brother
Better get you're ish together
Can't keep on holding on
Waitin' for you
And baby there is where you messed up
You keep on actin like
I really need a brother
Man I don't need a brother
Can't keep on holding on
Waiting for you
And baby there is where you messed up
You keep on actin' like
I really need a brother
Man I don't need a brother
Better get you're ish together
Can't keep on holding on
Waitin' for you
And baby there is where you messed up
I don't need your money &no dinner
I got jewelry, winner to loser
And baby there is where you messed up
You take me for granted
And expect me to stay right here
And wait on you while you're having fun
There is where you messed up
(You keep on actin')

He certainly did earn that reputation.

Word Alive, The
Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

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.
I like the song. Aaliyah will live in my heart forever.
