Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
You've always been runnin' from some thing or another
But your fear has never had such a name
You let your problems linger
And always point the finger
Cause' there's always someone else who's to blame
But now it's not so fun, it's got you on the run
Like the barrel of a gun's at your head
And now the moment's fadin'
There's no need for hesitatin'
Cause' if you do you just might end up dead
Did you think that this would make everything right?
Did you know the price you pay is your own life?
And as you're screaming out to me to make things right, tonight
How will you end your pain?
And now you need a fixin' cause' you've got a bad addiction
And it's always screaming out for some more
You're acting like a junkie
On your back it is the monkey
As you sell your body just for the score
But now what will you do
When the choice is up to you
How will you choose to end all your pain?
But for you the only answer
Is to give in to the cancer as you shove it right back into your vein
Did you think that this would make everything right?
Can't you see the price you pay is your own life
And as you're screaming out to me to make things right, tonight
How will you end your pain?
Take a look at what you're doing
Can't you see the consequenses that have lead to your ruin?
Though I've tried and I've tried my dear
The situation's ending is clear
It's so sad to hear you say
That you fear your life is slipping away
You don't know what to do
But the answers are inside
It all comes down to you
Did you think that this would make everything right?
Can't you see the price you pay is your own life
And as you're screaming out to me to make things right, tonight
How will you end your pain?
But your fear has never had such a name
You let your problems linger
And always point the finger
Cause' there's always someone else who's to blame
But now it's not so fun, it's got you on the run
Like the barrel of a gun's at your head
And now the moment's fadin'
There's no need for hesitatin'
Cause' if you do you just might end up dead
Did you think that this would make everything right?
Did you know the price you pay is your own life?
And as you're screaming out to me to make things right, tonight
How will you end your pain?
And now you need a fixin' cause' you've got a bad addiction
And it's always screaming out for some more
You're acting like a junkie
On your back it is the monkey
As you sell your body just for the score
But now what will you do
When the choice is up to you
How will you choose to end all your pain?
But for you the only answer
Is to give in to the cancer as you shove it right back into your vein
Did you think that this would make everything right?
Can't you see the price you pay is your own life
And as you're screaming out to me to make things right, tonight
How will you end your pain?
Take a look at what you're doing
Can't you see the consequenses that have lead to your ruin?
Though I've tried and I've tried my dear
The situation's ending is clear
It's so sad to hear you say
That you fear your life is slipping away
You don't know what to do
But the answers are inside

Did you think that this would make everything right?
Can't you see the price you pay is your own life
And as you're screaming out to me to make things right, tonight
How will you end your pain?

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 Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Holiday
Bee Gees

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
This song is obviously about a drug addiction
It also touches on prostitution ("As you sell your body just for the score").
