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.
Don't remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans denied
So as you read this, know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile when you think of me
My body's gone, that's all
À tout le monde
À tous mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free
If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There's nothing more to say
Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And living all are scarred
À tout le monde
À tous mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free
So as you read this
Know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all (you all)
Please smile, smile when you think about me
My body's gone that's all
À tout le monde
À tous mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free
À tout le monde
À tous mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
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/

Head > Heels

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I was really disappointed that Christina was hardly on the track at all. She had few solo parts and during the duet parts her voice was mixed down so you could barely hear her.
