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.
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
She drove a long way through the night
From an urban neighborhood
She left her mother in a fight
For a dream misunderstood
And her friends they talk on corners
They could never comprehend
But there was always something different
In the way she held a stare
And the pictures that she painted
Were of glamor and of flair
And her boyfriend though he loved her
Knew he couldn't quite fulfill
He could never meet her there
She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks
She'll be the queen of Hollywood
And the cynics they will wonder
What's the difference with this dream
And the dreams of countless others
All believing in TV
They see their hand prints in a sidewalk
Flashing cameras on the scene
And a shining limousine
She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks
She'll be the queen of Hollywood (queen of Hollywood)
She's believing in a dream
It's a loaded fantasy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
La da da, la da da
Now her mother collects cut-outs
And the pictures make her smile
But if she saw behind the curtains
It could only make her cry
She's got hand prints on her body
Sad moonbeams in her eyes
Not so innocent a child
She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks
She'll be the queen of Hollywood (queen of Hollywood)
No, she's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes, and even though she breaks
She'll be the queen of Hollywood (queen of Hollywood)
She is the queen of Hollywood
Queen of Hollywood (queen of Hollywood)
And her friends still talk on corners (queen of Hollywood)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
She is the queen of Hollywood
You see the queen of Hollywood, yeah
She drove a long way through the night
From an urban neighborhood
She left her mother in a fight
For a dream misunderstood
And her friends they talk on corners
They could never comprehend
But there was always something different
In the way she held a stare
And the pictures that she painted
Were of glamor and of flair
And her boyfriend though he loved her
Knew he couldn't quite fulfill
He could never meet her there
She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks
She'll be the queen of Hollywood
And the cynics they will wonder
What's the difference with this dream
And the dreams of countless others
All believing in TV
They see their hand prints in a sidewalk
Flashing cameras on the scene
And a shining limousine
She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks
She'll be the queen of Hollywood (queen of Hollywood)
She's believing in a dream
It's a loaded fantasy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
La da da, la da da
Now her mother collects cut-outs
And the pictures make her smile
But if she saw behind the curtains
It could only make her cry
She's got hand prints on her body
Sad moonbeams in her eyes
Not so innocent a child
She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks
She'll be the queen of Hollywood (queen of Hollywood)
No, she's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes, and even though she breaks
She'll be the queen of Hollywood (queen of Hollywood)
She is the queen of Hollywood
Queen of Hollywood (queen of Hollywood)
And her friends still talk on corners (queen of Hollywood)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
She is the queen of Hollywood
You see the queen of Hollywood, yeah

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Not sure the inspiration they had to write this song but it my favourite Corrs song. I Love how the verses build up to tell a story flowing easily into the sweeping choruses
i think it's about a small town girl who becomes a celebrity and how people start to reject her, out of jealousy or wanting to be gossips.
this song was inspired in a movie and it's about a girl pursuiting the dream of being a famous actress. But the Hollywood world it's not easy and she ends up doing things that she's not proud of, in order to get somewhere. "She's got hand prints on her body/ Not so innocent a child" - she has been used and she has done bad things.
It's such a beautiful song. My favourite ever.
