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.
Passed out on the overpass
Sunday best and broken glass
Broken down from the bikes
And bars Suspended like spirits
Over speeding cars
You and me were kings over the
Parkway tonight
And tonight will go on forever
While we walk around this town
Like we own the streets
And stay awake through summer
Like we own the heat
Singing "everybody wake up(wake
Up)it's time to get down"
(everybody, everybody wake up
It's time to get down)
And when I pass the bottle back
To Pete on the overpass tonight,
I bet we laugh
I'm gonna stay eighteen forever
(cut me open)
So we can stay like this forever
(sun poisoned)
And we'll never miss a party
(this offer stands forever)
'Cause we keep them going constantly
And we'll never have to listen
(new haircut)
To anyone about anything
(new bracelet)
'Cause it's all been done and
It's all been said
(eyeliner)
We're the coolest kids and we
Take what we can get
(wait forever)
The hell out of this town
Find some conversation
The low fule lights been on for days
It doesn't mean anyhting
I've got another 500 nother 500 miles
Before we shut this engine down,
We shut it down
I'm gonna stay eighteen forever
(cut me open)
So we can stay like this forever
(sun poisoned)
And we'll never miss a party
(this offer stands forever)
'Cause we keep them going constantly
And we'll never have to listen
(new haircut)
To anyone about anything
(new bracelet)
'Cause it's all been done
And it's all been said
(eyeliner)
We're the coolest kids and
We take what we can get
(wait forever)
(you're just jealous cause
I'm young and in love)
Eighteen forever
(your stomachs filled up but
You're starved for conversation)
So we can stay like this forever
(you're spending all your nights
Growing old in your bed)
And we'll never miss a party
(and your tearin up your photos
'Cause you want to forget... it's over)
'Cause we keep them going constantly
(you're just jealous cause
I'm young and in love)
And we'll never have to listen
(your stomachs filled up but
You're starved for conversation)
To anyone about anything cause
It's all been done
(you're spending all your nights
Growing old in your bed)
And it's all been said
(and your tearin' up your photos
'Cause you want to forget... it's over)
We're the coolest kids and we take
What we can get
Just jealous cause we're
Young and in love
You're just jealous cause
We're young and in love [Repeat: x5]

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
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.

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
this summer has been the best summer ever. and this song is a great reminder of all the good nights. this is me and my friends summer anthem. except for the 'in love' part. we got all we could out of out town and had the best time. brand new's cd is the best cd i have heard in a long time. i personally think it surpasses TBS, even though both are great.
