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.
You maybe far from me
but I dont need you any less
it maybe cold in your bed
but you know my love is warm
with new rules it is hard
when you cant ask anyone
who survived the distance test
and has still got strength and love
we'll be here for 30 years or maybe more
you dont have to worry that we don't have time
lets find are way to meet in the middle of
somewhere finer in our own time when we can
we try to hold our heads
above the water line
at times it's hard not to rise
to the shit you have to take.
We'll hold our heads and we'll wait
till our feet will fit there shoes
and learn to make all the choices that
all the others never made
but I dont need you any less
it maybe cold in your bed
but you know my love is warm
with new rules it is hard
when you cant ask anyone
who survived the distance test
and has still got strength and love
we'll be here for 30 years or maybe more
you dont have to worry that we don't have time
lets find are way to meet in the middle of
somewhere finer in our own time when we can
we try to hold our heads
above the water line
at times it's hard not to rise
to the shit you have to take.
We'll hold our heads and we'll wait
till our feet will fit there shoes
and learn to make all the choices that
all the others never made

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”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Last chunk has same meaning as "don't write a check you can't cash" to me, but said a lot better. But to fit it in with the rest of the song is about fighting to keep a long distance relationship working. Good song, and well written. Never heard of the group tho...send me a message thing and tell me about them if u get a chance.
I agree with you, thinkitbeit; it's about trying to keep a relationship alive even though they're apart from eachother. it's rather the hard thing to do and this song fits perfect with what i'm dealing with. i can't stop listening to it.
