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.
Pa' la salud
Pa' la salud primero yo
Primero usted
Ay
Cómetelo joven
Cómetelo jajaja
Aquí estoy con mi barrio, listo a hacer feria
Cartel Cypress Hill esta en tu área
Colectando queso allá en México
Donde el sol quema duro y baja despacio
Tengo mis camaradas y todo esta bien
Tengo una mansión en tierra que mide cien
Y todos se den cuenta vengo a hacer tranzas
Con mucha libra aquí estoy pa' La Raza
Me ven en mi ranfla con todos los hierro
Cuidando mi negocio con todo mi perro
No trates nada tengo mis soldados
Espíritu asesino, vienen preparados
Raperos desperados es nuestra tema
El dicho de nosotros A¿agarra la crema
Tequila Sunrise, con los ojos rojos, un día vamos a morir, escandaloso
Nunca conocí dinero así, en mis manos
Hasta que conocí un camarada como hermano
No importa donde miro tiene a todos asustados
Corriendo por cubre, con mas que vende 'marrados
Pero como un querieron me enseno la foto grande
Así vendiendo drogas jamas, nunca andes
No como rateros que no entienden, no comprenden
No pases anos torcido con placas en tu frente
Entiendes
Me dio una copa y tome, el sabor malo del gusano
Mejame dándome lecciones
Me cacheteo y dijo Mira, eres mi mejor paisa pero nunca me miras
Has lo que digo y te hago rico chico
Ratas duermen en hoyos, no me cruces o te pico
Que no se te olviden las reglas del juego
Te van a conocer hasta que quemes en el fuego
Mujeres falsas y dinero no va
Como tomando, manejando, mi hermano te mataran
Quédate alerto a lo que esta alrededor
Esas cosas que te dije van a ser tu matador
Tenlo todo en orden la plata no va a parar
Recuérdate de mi y siempre vas a ganar
Tequila Sunrise, con los ojos rojos, un día vamos a morir, escandaloso
Tequila Sunrise, ayayay
Tiempo vuela rápido, hijo y by surprise
Mi vana se murió y a mi me dejó
Capitán de las movidas aquí digo yo
Trágate el gusano cabrón, soy el matón
Si no me matas te mato a ti como un ladrón
Confía en nadie, vengo pa' tras
Y jamas me cruces a mi porque yo tengo más
Me recuerdo lo que dijo Jesús
Si quieres el dinero, paisa, tienes que ser primero
Que te peguen mis palabras, esta listo pa' morir
A todo tiempo, porque si no vas a sufrir
Tequila Sunrise, con los ojos rojos, un día vamos a morir, escandaloso
Pa' la salud primero yo
Primero usted

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
No need to shout, my man !
But you're absolutely right.
