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.
Your street is littered with houses, of people that|You've never met|Names that you would thought you'd remember|But knew you'd always forget|Memories stripped from the past|The questions that never got asked|Like a broken down car in an old parking lot|Means nothing at all but it's that you got|And the moment is slippin' away|The answers you give aren't that great|It's like all the you do it's just old and they're new|And they're lost||[Piping solo]||All of your mistresses lied|To save your relationships, save you from time|When you slip into knowing that nothing is going to|Kill you faster than life|In the end you're just moments away|From the chances you thought you might take|It's like all that you do is just old and then new and|Then lost|And the words that you tried hard to say get caught in||The noose that you make|It's like all that you do is just old and then new and|Then lost||In the end you're just moments away from the chances|You thought you might take|It's like all that you do is just old and then new and|Then lost (x3)||[Guitar solo]||( all that you are is not, all that you do's forgot,|Hold on to what you got (x2)||In the end you're just moments away from the chances|You thought you might take|It's like all that you do is just old and then new and|Then lost|Your street is littered with houses of people that|You've never met|Names that you thought you'd remember|But knew that you'd always forget|All that you are is not, all that you was forgot hold|On to what you got (x3)|Hold on to what you got (x4)|

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I think that this song is about missed chances in life, things that you regret not doing.
The streets are littered with thousands, of people that you've never met, names that you thought you'd remember, knew you'd always forget, memories stripped from the past, the questions that never got asked, like a broken down car in an old parking lot, means nothing at all but it's that you got, and the moment is slippin' away, the answers you give aren't that great, it's like all the you do it's just old and they're new and they're lost
[piping solo]
All of your mistresses lied, to save your relationships save you from time when you slip into knowing that nothing is going to kill you faster than life, in the end you're just moments away from the chances you thought you might take, it's like all that you do it just old and they're new and they're lost
and the words that you tried hard to say, get caught in the noose that you made it's like all that you do is just old and they're new and they're lost
In the end you're just moments away, from the chances you thought you might take, it's like all that you do is just old and they're new and they're lost
just old and they're new and they're lost just old and they're new and they're lost
[guitar solo]
All that you are is not all that you forgot hold on to what you got, All that you are is not all that you forgot hold on to what you got in the end you're just moments, away from the chances you thought you might take it's like that all you do is just old and they're new and they're lost
the street is littered with thousands of people that you've never met names that you thought you'd remember knew that you'd always forget
All that you are is not All that you was forgot Hold on to what you got
All that you are is not All that you was forgot Hold on to what you got
All that you are is not All that you was forgot Hold on to what you got
Hold on to what you got Hold on to what you got Hold on to what you got Hold on to what you got
fuckin great song!!!!
This song is beautiful.
i love this song so much, but just a quick comment, and i MIGHT be wrong but i thought it was "and the answers you give all LACK WEIGHT" instead of aren't that great but w/e doesn't matter because this song is great anyway
