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.
I hitched a ride with my soul
By the side of the road
Just as the sky turned black
I took a walk with my fame
Down memory lane
I never did find my way back
You know that I gotta say time's slipping away
And what will it hold for me
What am I gonna do while I'm looking at you
You're standing ignoring me
I thought that I heard someone say now
There's no time for running away now
Hey now! Hey now
Feel no shame 'cause time's no chain
Feel no shame
The first thing I saw
As I walked through the door
Was a sign on the wall that read
It said you might never know
That I want you to know
What is written inside of your head
And time as it stands
Won't be held in my hands
Or living inside of my skin
And as it fell from the sky
I asked myself why
Can I never let anyone in?
I thought that I heard someone say now
There's no time for running away now
Hey now, hey now!
Feel no shame 'cause time's no chain
Feel no shame
Feel no shame 'cause time's no chain
Feel no shame
I hitched a ride with my soul
By the side of the road
Just as the sky turned black
I took a walk with my fame
Down memory lane
I never did find my way back
You know that I gotta say time's slipping away
And what will it hold for me
What am I gonna do while I'm looking at you
You're standing ignoring me
I thought that I heard someone say now
There's no time for running away now
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now, hey now
Feel no shame 'cause time's no chain
Feel no shame 'cause time's no chain
Feel no shame 'cause time's no chain
Feel no shame
By the side of the road
Just as the sky turned black
I took a walk with my fame
Down memory lane
I never did find my way back
You know that I gotta say time's slipping away
And what will it hold for me
What am I gonna do while I'm looking at you
You're standing ignoring me
I thought that I heard someone say now
There's no time for running away now
Hey now! Hey now
Feel no shame 'cause time's no chain
Feel no shame
The first thing I saw
As I walked through the door
Was a sign on the wall that read
It said you might never know
That I want you to know
What is written inside of your head
And time as it stands
Won't be held in my hands
Or living inside of my skin
And as it fell from the sky
I asked myself why
Can I never let anyone in?
I thought that I heard someone say now
There's no time for running away now
Hey now, hey now!
Feel no shame 'cause time's no chain
Feel no shame
Feel no shame 'cause time's no chain
Feel no shame
I hitched a ride with my soul
By the side of the road
Just as the sky turned black
I took a walk with my fame
Down memory lane
I never did find my way back
You know that I gotta say time's slipping away
And what will it hold for me
What am I gonna do while I'm looking at you
You're standing ignoring me
I thought that I heard someone say now
There's no time for running away now
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now, hey now
Feel no shame 'cause time's no chain
Feel no shame 'cause time's no chain
Feel no shame 'cause time's no chain
Feel no shame

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.

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.

“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.
This has to be the most underrated Oasis song.
true i agree this is a great song
It's about how you choose to let your past define you. "Feel no shame, cos time's no chain."
@ophelia219 Exactly mate
I took a walk with my fame Down memory lane I never did find my way back
i always took this to mean that he looked back on his memories, and kind of became obsessed with them, and wanted to relive the good old days, before he was famous.
The song is about the band becoming famous and the things that happened to them.
In the first verse he is talking about the fame that they got so quickly. And finding it hard to get 'back down to earth' and communicate with other non famous people.
In th next two verses he is feeling the emotion that I would imagien all famous people feel. What else can I do? Is this my peak? And someone says to him 'there's no time for running away'.
Feel no shame is about not feeling guilty just because you are rich and succesful. It just happens to some people.
Then after that is just the same really. My favourite part of the sogn is 'as i feel from the sky i asked myself why can't i ever let anyone in' This is just talkign about how h started to find it how hard it is to trust people.
Good song.
This song is SO UNDERRATED. It's one of my favorites. The lyrics are just brilliant.
i think it means he is thinking about life before he was famous and also how he cant control time but i think often times oasis songs arent all about one thing as many great songs arent so you cant just base the entire song meaning on one lyric.
In my opinion, I hate it when people refer to tracks as "fillers," it simply shows how they don't appreciate certain music.
I LOVE this song, probably even more than Wonderwall. This song isn't completely underappreciated, and probably skipped by many of those playing the CD. Sad.... such a beautiful song.
I hitched a ride with my soul By the side of the road Just as the sky turned black I took a walk with my fame Down memory lane I never did find my way back
hmm.... maybe he became more spiritual when things got bad and he tried to remember life before fame and couldn't? I don't think that would be what they're saying but it's too many nouns to let me do this easily...
I took a walk with my fame Down memory lane I never did find my way back
i assumed that meant he cant figure out how he became famous
the rest of the song just seems to talk in generalities that apply to a lot of situations, something oasis is very good at. a relationship? a spiritual journey? random disjointed thoughts? you decide
still an awesome song
only 2 comments on this song? i'm surprised.
it's a brilliant song with a good sound to it.
how can anyone not like oasis? what is there not to like!?!? i think they're the best band out there. can't wait until march 20th when i'm seeing them live again. :)
