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.
Mother may I lay my head down,
what would you say,
If all that's lost may never be found,
it's gone away,
Never thought it would be me
held so high, fell so far
Mother may I lay my head down,
my falling star.
Superhero won't you come and take me away,
Superhero won't you come save my day?
And if I ever could have faked it, oh it would show
And if I ever could have made it, would I be gold?
I never wanted to be what they even wanted me to be,
now this story ends untainted, without me....
Superhero won't you come and take me away,
Superhero won't you come and fly me away?
Superhero, superhero, superhero won't you come,
save my day...
Won't you, won't you, won't you take me home?
Won't you, won't you, won't you take me home?
Won't you come and take me?
Won't you come rescue me?
Won't you come and take me?
Hero, hero, hero
Won't you take me home,
Superhero won't you come and take me away,
Superhero won't you come and fly me away?
Superhero, superhero, oh my hero, oh my hero
Superhero won't you come save my...
Mother may I lay my head down,
what would you say,
If all that's lost may never be found,
it's gone away,
Never thought it would be me
held so high, fell so far
Mother may I lay my head down...
what would you say,
If all that's lost may never be found,
it's gone away,
Never thought it would be me
held so high, fell so far
Mother may I lay my head down,
my falling star.
Superhero won't you come and take me away,
Superhero won't you come save my day?
And if I ever could have faked it, oh it would show
And if I ever could have made it, would I be gold?
I never wanted to be what they even wanted me to be,
now this story ends untainted, without me....
Superhero won't you come and take me away,
Superhero won't you come and fly me away?
Superhero, superhero, superhero won't you come,
save my day...
Won't you, won't you, won't you take me home?
Won't you, won't you, won't you take me home?
Won't you come and take me?
Won't you come rescue me?
Won't you come and take me?
Hero, hero, hero
Won't you take me home,
Superhero won't you come and take me away,
Superhero won't you come and fly me away?
Superhero, superhero, oh my hero, oh my hero
Superhero won't you come save my...
Mother may I lay my head down,
what would you say,
If all that's lost may never be found,
it's gone away,
Never thought it would be me
held so high, fell so far
Mother may I lay my head down...

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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
actually, i really like this song. and i kinda disagree (to the other comments, sorry to say)... i think it's about just simply getting away from the world, faking who she was and didn't show her true self with "And if I ever could have faked it" and "I never wanted to be what they even wanted me to be" to support it. so yea, simply getting away. :)
To me this song is about the not so sucessfull carrer of Vanessa. She is a so aweasome artist and she never had the recognition that she deserve.
"And if I ever could have faked it, oh it would show" I think that the labels always try to make her a typical pop star, that sings only to pleasure the biggest public, but she knows that she would never could do that, or wanted do it.
"And if I ever could have made it, would I be gold?" She is thinking on teh possibilyty of being the ordinary pop star, and if she have do that on teh start, she would be a big star with gold records and stuffs..
And she is kind off telling to shes Mom, asking confort, that she will never be a big star.
"i'm a falling star"
this is a cute song many people don't from vanessa. i thought i'd add it cause it's so adorable
i dont understand it...
i really think she was sexually abused.. i think this song is about her losing her innocence.. more so someone stealing it from her "Mother may I lay my dead down, what would you say, If all that's lost may never be found, it's gone away, Never thought it would be me" shes crying to her mother for help basically her innocence was lost by someone she trusted very much.. and she wants to tell her mom but shes scared.
"Won't you take me home, Superhero won't you come and take me away, Superhero won't you come and fly me away? Superhero, superhero, oh my hero, oh my hero Superhero won't you come save my..." basically she wants to be taken away from this place or saved by someone..
I refuse to believe that this song is about rape or sexual abuse.
I personally love this song, because I can relate to it, often. I think what she's trying to convey is that she made a mistake (possibly in a relationship?) and she got hurt emotionally in the process. Then, she's miserable, and just wishes her 'superhero' would come and take her away from all her problems.
One of my favorite 'sad' songs. :)
i think it's one of those songs that could bean a lot of things. great song *
I think it's a song that Vanessa wrote while she was in ballet school..sort of giving reasons why she dropped out of Ballet school? She was faking who she was and had to get away, like doedoe181 said :)
"Never thought it would be me held so high, fell so far...I'm a falling star" - she had dreams and was good at Ballet, now she's done something wrong/different that's caused her dreams to be crushed..
"I never wanted to be what they even wanted me to be, now this story ends untainted, without me...." - she left Ballet school b/c of something did, she won't be included in their story
She's calling out for some help from her Superhero..
