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.
painting the night unreal
out-glossing neon ,selling sex-appeal
cheaper thrills and instant visions ;
dreams that men will steal
barge in on softer shoes
putting stickers on the darker hues
carnivores in pink polyester
dig that L.A. ruse
those family ties ,those brainless insulting big lies
that bald-eagle seal,so that we know it isn't real
initiate and commence countdown
there's a new sheriff in town
paint the night in your favourite shade
before the colours all fade,the thrills all decay
untill there is nothing but mediocrity on display
keep it contained and still
put some meaning in those sugared pills
let them dream their sweet psychosis
syndicate their thrills
the greatest scam ,the soft white underbelly of uncle Sam
the stench and the pain you can never contain
out-glossing neon ,selling sex-appeal
cheaper thrills and instant visions ;
dreams that men will steal
barge in on softer shoes
putting stickers on the darker hues
carnivores in pink polyester
dig that L.A. ruse
those family ties ,those brainless insulting big lies
that bald-eagle seal,so that we know it isn't real
initiate and commence countdown
there's a new sheriff in town
paint the night in your favourite shade
before the colours all fade,the thrills all decay
untill there is nothing but mediocrity on display
keep it contained and still
put some meaning in those sugared pills
let them dream their sweet psychosis
syndicate their thrills
the greatest scam ,the soft white underbelly of uncle Sam
the stench and the pain you can never contain

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.

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."
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
This is a briliant comment on the U.S.A., a country with which MP have something of a love-hate relationship with. On their first album lobotomizer was already a tune which seemed to be about America (home of the brave).
What makes this tune special for me is that I listened to it a lot befor and after septer 11th 2001 and it strikes me how much the lyrics seem to be about everything that has happened since. What the singer (Bent) is trying to say, i think, is that nothing much has changed since the days of the Vietnam war, though a lot of people in th U.S. would deny that. These days they still 'barge in' (Irak), only on 'softer shoes'. 'Putting stickers on the darker hues', the media in the U.S. are controlled mainly by large corporations and aren't really objective about what terrifying things are going on in the U.S.
A new sheriff in town seems to be about George W. Bush, although i think they wrote the song prior to his election......
the bald eagle, well, we all know what happened to him. He became extinct. Who shot one of the last bald eagles? I think it was a president, but i'm not shure. The bald eagles seal is still used, even though the animal has been extinct for years. So is the american dream. They are still trying to sell it, but it has lost it's shine a long time ago.
