its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Madeline flows like the summer stream
She talks with her eyes, she moves in a dream
Serenity grows in a pasture of green, and Madeline flows
Abagail flies on a silver wing
She might let me go she might let me sing
Prosperity lies in a mountain of things, and Abagail flies
When you find her tell her you don't mind the way that she crosses her legs
She winks to let you know
I only like to observe I don't profess to know
Kira comes on like the morning sun
She opens her eyes, she looks out for fun
Affinity flies through a canyon of one, and Kira comes on
Tabatha walks in the pouring rain
She closes her eyes to block out the pain
Disparity flows through a river of shame, and Tabatha walks
When you find her tell her you don't mind the way that she crosses her legs
She winks to let you know
I only like to observe I don't profess to know
And in the garden of blue she's coming back to you and the feeling is true
Oh Madeline won't you tell me what your gonna do
And when you find her tell her you mind the way she crosses her heart
And says I hope to die
I guess I'll never know you I guess I'll never know why
And in the garden of blue she's coming back to you and the feeling is true
Oh Madeline I never knew what you were going through
She talks with her eyes, she moves in a dream
Serenity grows in a pasture of green, and Madeline flows
Abagail flies on a silver wing
She might let me go she might let me sing
Prosperity lies in a mountain of things, and Abagail flies
When you find her tell her you don't mind the way that she crosses her legs
She winks to let you know
I only like to observe I don't profess to know
Kira comes on like the morning sun
She opens her eyes, she looks out for fun
Affinity flies through a canyon of one, and Kira comes on
Tabatha walks in the pouring rain
She closes her eyes to block out the pain
Disparity flows through a river of shame, and Tabatha walks
When you find her tell her you don't mind the way that she crosses her legs
She winks to let you know
I only like to observe I don't profess to know
And in the garden of blue she's coming back to you and the feeling is true
Oh Madeline won't you tell me what your gonna do
And when you find her tell her you mind the way she crosses her heart
And says I hope to die
I guess I'll never know you I guess I'll never know why
And in the garden of blue she's coming back to you and the feeling is true
Oh Madeline I never knew what you were going through

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.
Fortnight

The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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”
Lovely song about past relationships.... Also, to me, seems to hint at suicide:
"Oh Madeline won't you tell me what you're gonna do"
"Oh Madeline I never knew what you were going through"
Gorgeous, gorgeous song.
