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.
It's hard to know just what to do in times like these
It's hard to know just what to say
And I'm just sitting here just asking myself why
It's good to know you feel the same
And I believe
I want to be your everything
And anything you need.
[Chorus]
Don't cry for us tonight
Don't cry we'll be all right
If I could I'd be by your side
Don't cry for us
You know that I'd give anything to watch you sleep
I can picture you just lying there
We don't need to say the words
Cause they don't mean a thing
You know you're not alone when someone cares.
And I believe
You are still my anything
And everything I need
[Chorus]
Built of steel, we may seem weak
and rusted
But in times like these we've always won
and trusted
in ourselves
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
It's hard to know just what to do in times like these
It's hard to know just what to say
It's hard to know just what to say
And I'm just sitting here just asking myself why
It's good to know you feel the same
And I believe
I want to be your everything
And anything you need.
[Chorus]
Don't cry for us tonight
Don't cry we'll be all right
If I could I'd be by your side
Don't cry for us
You know that I'd give anything to watch you sleep
I can picture you just lying there
We don't need to say the words
Cause they don't mean a thing
You know you're not alone when someone cares.
And I believe
You are still my anything
And everything I need
[Chorus]
Built of steel, we may seem weak
and rusted
But in times like these we've always won
and trusted
in ourselves
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
It's hard to know just what to do in times like these
It's hard to know just what to say

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
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.
Simple lyric, catchy tune, just took me by suprise to find that they're in the same class as Hanson. Urgh, those hanson brothers are butt ugly, nothin like these guys though.
