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.
"Up In The Air"
The lines are drawn in the sand tonight.
And decisions must be made.
Another year to waste my time?
Or should we let this fade?
The asphalt top is smooth tonight,
Like I wish my words could be.
Maybe the right line could make you want me,
and end this dull charade.
Because you always seem to fall for him,
The one who says things right.
He's never at a loss for words,
and always makes you smile.
But maybe I havent found that someone,
And my heart just thinks its you.
Maybe you just ain't right for me,
In my mind I know thats true.
The truth in this reality,
Is a sledgehammer to the face.
Like many nights walked past your house,
Im tired of this place.
Don't make this harder than it really is,
Im ready to be crushed.
Just say the things I fear so much,
Im never good enough.
The lines are drawn in the sand tonight.
And decisions must be made.
Another year to waste my time?
Or should we let this fade?
The asphalt top is smooth tonight,
Like I wish my words could be.
Maybe the right line could make you want me,
and end this dull charade.
Because you always seem to fall for him,
The one who says things right.
He's never at a loss for words,
and always makes you smile.
But maybe I havent found that someone,
And my heart just thinks its you.
Maybe you just ain't right for me,
In my mind I know thats true.
The truth in this reality,
Is a sledgehammer to the face.
Like many nights walked past your house,
Im tired of this place.
Don't make this harder than it really is,
Im ready to be crushed.
Just say the things I fear so much,
Im never good enough.

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.

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
this is a pretty good song, but with some good guitar it could be amazing! :)
