its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
You're talking, it all sounds fair
You promise your love, how much you care
I'm still listening and still unsure
Your actions are lacking, nothing is clear
No more words
You're telling me you love me while you're looking away
No more words, no more words
And no more promises of love
Remember when the words were new
They carried a meaning, a feeling so true
But I'm looking for a long romance
Not a picture of passion or one time chance
No more words
You're telling me you love me while you're looking away
No more words, no more words
And no more promises of love
Well don't fool your self
Your empty passion won't satisfy me
I know, so don't pretend that you want me
You don't want me
No more words
You're telling me you love me while you're looking away
No more words, no more words
And no more promises of love
We make love, it's all the same
Your eyes show nothing, no lover's flame
But don't promise we can work it out
You can leave right now if you're feeling doubt
No more words
You're telling me you love me while you're looking away
No more words, no more words
And no more promises of love
No more words
You're telling me you love me, you're looking away
No more words, no more words
And no more promises of love
No more words (and no more promises)
No more words, and no more promises of love
No more words (and no more promises)
No more words, and no more promises of love
You promise your love, how much you care
I'm still listening and still unsure
Your actions are lacking, nothing is clear
No more words
You're telling me you love me while you're looking away
No more words, no more words
And no more promises of love
Remember when the words were new
They carried a meaning, a feeling so true
But I'm looking for a long romance
Not a picture of passion or one time chance
No more words
You're telling me you love me while you're looking away
No more words, no more words
And no more promises of love
Well don't fool your self
Your empty passion won't satisfy me
I know, so don't pretend that you want me
You don't want me
No more words
You're telling me you love me while you're looking away
No more words, no more words
And no more promises of love
We make love, it's all the same
Your eyes show nothing, no lover's flame
But don't promise we can work it out
You can leave right now if you're feeling doubt
No more words
You're telling me you love me while you're looking away
No more words, no more words
And no more promises of love
No more words
You're telling me you love me, you're looking away
No more words, no more words
And no more promises of love
No more words (and no more promises)
No more words, and no more promises of love
No more words (and no more promises)
No more words, and no more promises of love

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate

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.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
a telethon is on now and berlin just came om to play this song (acoustic) and they added this to the middle (from a fleetwood mac song):
"Now here you go again You say you want your freedom Well who am I to keep you down It's only right that you should Play the way you feel it But listen carefully to the sound Of your loneliness Like a heartbeat.. drives you mad In the stillness of remembering what you had And what you lost And what you had And what you lost,"
I think it adds a lot to the song...
I love the 20s style Gangster video that goes with this song. It's a really good piece altogether. I found the "Love Life " album to be superior to their debut album "Pleasure Victim".
Someone is saying and not doing. Well not showing.
Apparently the dude shes singing to in the song.
I believe that person in the song is a certain ex-lover that also happens to be a fairly well known classic alternative DJ...
