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.
Man's best friend is beautiful and
Affectionate and ideal pet. Cats are the
Same, we make up their names and our
Love for them is real. Listen up, I gotta
Ask it, how can we be so cruel? You say
You care, that's a lie. My true
Compassion is for all living things and not
Just the ones who are cute so I do what I
Can. I wanna save lives and I've got a
Plan.
Under the table he'll eat your dinner like
The veggies we can't stand. What kind of
Meal would he make? We don't want to
Ask it. Tradition is all that keeps him
Alive. Listen up, I gotta ask it, how can
We be so cruel? You say you care, that's
A lie. My true compassion is for all living
Things and not just the ones who are cute
So I do what I can. I wanna save lives
And I've got a plan.
Why am I so upset. Don't even own a
Pet. I am not trying to press my will. I am
Not the first to say...
THOU SHALT NOT KILL
Full is all you want to feel. We eat to stay
Alive, but it's their lives we steal. I think
We'd like to change, but most of us are
Stuck, that's why cats and dogs have
ALL THE LUCK.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
this is a great song, so awesome
that's why cats and dogs have ALL THE LUCK.
first gb song i heard. it got me into this band.
this song is about eating dogs and cats. the singer must really hate cats and dogs.
hahAHHAhahahAHh
this song is about the contradiction in loving some animals while at the same time slaughtering others. I'm getting the lead singer was vegetarian, if not vegan. I don't really know.
I do know, though, that this song RULES.
I think its about how we shouldn't eat animals at all and it saying how our pets are no different than the animals people eat to "survive." At the end he's saying how sometimes it hard not to eat meat even though we try. Which is true.
Great song I must add.
i think that if you don't know who anthony civarelli is you shouldn't comment
thats a stupid statement person before me.... there r tons of bands where i dnt care about the members just the sound.
yup vegetarianism. word up. not my shit, bc im addicted to mexican food and sushi, but as the song says ide like to change but im stuck haha
The second verse is about how we keep pets down. What kind of meal would your dog make? You don't even know, you just feed him the scraps. Tradition is all the keeps him alive.
