Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Word Alive, The
Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
First off, I'd like to agree not as a stoner, but as a spiritual person that smokes, this is a beautiful song to smoke to. With that said...
I was lazy and didn't take the time to read pages 2-4, so this idea might have already been expressed. But if it isn't yay! Anyway, I don't think it's about a relationship at all... sorry, but in my honest opinion, that's just superficial. It's about a higher plane of thought, of spirituality...
With this song's few lyrics, I believe Maynard (whom I'll just call the narrator 'cause it could be anyone that identifies with the song), I think he's showing confusion and a lack of understanding either like a child or just someone who is in a crisis of ideas or beliefs or identity --- anything having to do with what truly makes us what we are and our essence/soul. The narrator's asking for someone, anyone to give him or her an explanation to his/her questions. And since the person is so confused and doesn't have a true feeling of who they are, the weather --- their moods, their beliefs, how they view the world (pessimistic, optimistic, realistic, etc.) --- constantly changes. In a way, I think it could tie into the weather literally in that it could be raining one minute and sunny the next to emphasize how fast this person can change.
And if that explanation confused anyone, I'll clarify it a little: imagine someone laying on a field just staring at wonder at the sky, watching the clouds go by and with every cloud that resembles something, every time a cloud blocks out the sun and then reveals it, the person's state of mind or thoughts are constantly changing, asking themselves questions about random things and then eventually just begging for a singular, constant answer.
Well, that's my view on this song. =)
