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.
pulverization of your steel constructions
it symbolizes this worlds destruction
the statues of progression
they're built on quicksand
with the intent to collaps, it seems
prophets of calamity proclaimed their visions
worlds fell into oblivion
we all are parasites
only consume and never create
so in this age of wealth we seem to stagnate
our greed of conquer brought us this far
orchestrators of human suffering
paralyzed by greed
can't see their realm is crumbling
paralyzed by greed
we all are parasites
prophets of calamity proclaimed their visions
worlds fell into oblivion
are we still superior or did we become inferior?
[explanation] - the wellknown scientist Spencer once formulated a theory which said that evolution is a process that consists of a phase of destruction, always followed by a phase of rebuilding. if we do not change our patterns of consumption, there wil be nothing left to rebuild. the deterioration of our earth goes on undeminishedly. the different sources of energy are getting depleted, contamination becomes worse, there are almosts no forests left. everyone knows the problems, everyone knows the solutions, but still nothing is done. self-interest and greed seem to be more important than the future of our world and this of course implicates the human race's future. we believe all thes problems can be reduced to one predominant cause: our feeling of superiority. we, in the western world, have always felt superior towards the earth and towards other civilizations (although we did not call them liek this). it's time to realize that we are not better than the people living beneath the equator. in fact, concerning their humbleness towards our earth, we can learn a lot from them. we belong to the earth, the earth does not belong to us. -

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."
