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.
Please mom, you ground me all the time
I know that I was right all along
And I'm hoping
Remember I'm a kid
I know not what I did
Just having fun
You couldn't wait for something new
And yesterday I thought of you
It left me to think as if I couldn't walk away
It's too late, I fell through
Nothing to lose
A boy who went out when he finished all his chores
Nothing to do
They can't trust me because I blew it once before
Shit dad, please don't kick my ass
I know I've seen you trashed at least one time
Can I blame it on one of my dumb friends?
It's been awhile since I have used that line
You couldn't wait for something new
And yesterday I thought of you
It left me to think as if I couldn't walk away
It's too late, I fell through
Nothing to lose
A boy who went out when he finished all his chores
Nothing to do
They can't trust me because I blew it once before
(Alright)
Nothing to lose
A boy who went out when he finished all his chores
Nothing to do
They can't trust me because I blew it once before
I know that I was right all along
And I'm hoping
Remember I'm a kid
I know not what I did
Just having fun
You couldn't wait for something new
And yesterday I thought of you
It left me to think as if I couldn't walk away
It's too late, I fell through
Nothing to lose
A boy who went out when he finished all his chores
Nothing to do
They can't trust me because I blew it once before
Shit dad, please don't kick my ass
I know I've seen you trashed at least one time
Can I blame it on one of my dumb friends?
It's been awhile since I have used that line
You couldn't wait for something new
And yesterday I thought of you
It left me to think as if I couldn't walk away
It's too late, I fell through
Nothing to lose
A boy who went out when he finished all his chores
Nothing to do
They can't trust me because I blew it once before
(Alright)
Nothing to lose
A boy who went out when he finished all his chores
Nothing to do
They can't trust me because I blew it once before

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.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
i just got caught drunk by my parents, and im grounded. coincidentally i popped dude ranch in and was suprised to realize tom wrote this song about me.
i love blink and this song is so awesome. what other band relates to teens as well. they have a great sense of humor and then can be serious. this song is great cuz how many times have you thought this about your parents?
My friend said this song best described him ...
This is a good song, I don't like too much of Blink though.
This song best describes me too. Tom wrote this song about the one time he got drunk at a High School Football game with his friends and one of them fell flat on his face in front of the Dean, and he got exspelled for a year. Yup, that's me...
well, this little jam is about just being a kid, doing dumb shit, then getting grounded for it, or for heavens sake, a little belt action. i remember those days, that belt hurted, now im 18 and im a big boy who doesnt get grounded. lovely.
tom got caught drinking in highschool
thats what this is about.
i love this song
What the hell? 'this song sucks big black cock'? Please explain to me how a song can suck cock. If you're gonna have a comment, at least make it half intelligent. Noone will respect your opinions if you make them so ridiculous and pointless. Anyways this song is really good. I love the way he tries to blame the friends...
sucks a big black cock? thats mature. n e way~ive used the "i'll blame it on my friends" idea way 2 many times. seriously~if u have a smirnoff ice wrapped in a sweatshirt and it drops out onto the kitchen floor (opned and half empty becuz u already drank most of it) DO NOT try to say that yur best friend (who u havent seen since the party u got home from hours ago) made u drink it. all it gets u is grounded and slapped becuz yur parents are as wasted as u. well, thats in my case e way. ahhh....my wonderful 13 year old life.....
great song parents suck
