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.
Talking away
I don't know what
what to say - I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away I'll be coming for your love
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone In a day
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
And you see me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone in a day
Oh the things that you say
Is it life or Just to play my worries away
All the things I've got to remember
Shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone in a day
I don't know what
what to say - I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away I'll be coming for your love
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone In a day
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
And you see me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone in a day
Oh the things that you say
Is it life or Just to play my worries away
All the things I've got to remember
Shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone in a day

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'

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/

mxpx never covered this song. it was reel big fish. fool.
hahahaha, yeah xpank is right...
if you actually govisit mxpx.com look for the cd "on the cover" why the hell would mxpx put "take on me" on that if reel big fish did the cover? DUH lame asses
mxpx covered it too, and i like this cover, although the rbf one is better
This song is covered by MxPx, as well as Reel Big Fish. I also like the RBG version toooooooo!
MxPx did in fact cover this song, along with 7 other cover songs on their album "On the Cover"
I thought they did a good job with this one, it's one of the better covers on that CD, so take that how you want to.
Um, guys. This is an A-ha cover. I'm listening to the song right now and this is the exacty song, so yes this is a cover. and A-ha origionally had this song plus they were around before MXPX.
Don't believe me? Look up "Take on me" for titles (do a search) and some people write (aha cover) which it is, but this guy didn't give credit tothe guys. obviously because he didnt remember them.
Think back to the 80s early 90s. im not sure when this video came out. it took place in a diner, and some womans reading a comic and theres a good looking guy in it an d he starts moving and she gets sucked into the comic and its this whole big thing. Too bad they dont play it any more. it was good.
wow guys... 7 posts later and someone finally recognizes the original artist.. yes, it was A-Ha .... this song was originally released in 1985 on their "Hunting High and Low" album.... know your roots.
good cover
whoever said that MxPx did not cover this is a moron cause RBF covered it...so many bands have covered this song cuase it kicks a lot of ass....the RBF version is by far the best
