Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Don't bide your time 'cause it is almost over
And I know you're down, I'll see you around
And I know it hurts but you're just getting older
And I know you'll win, you'll do it once again
Just yesterday it, always seemed like such a dream
We're unstoppable, indestructible, nothing happens to our machine
And there's no harm, at least nothing we can see
As for you, not so true, you couldn't choose where his road would lead
What a loss, you just lost all your sleep
And we've always thought that this could never happen, you see
That it's so hard, you gotta get up on your feet
'Cause the only way, I gotta say, is to move on through the week
Don't bide your time 'cause it is almost over
And I know you're down and I'll see you around
And I know it hurts but you're just getting older
And I know you'll win, you'll do it once again
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry (what's happened to you?)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry (what's happened to you?)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry (what's happened to you?)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry (what's happened to you?)
Don't bide your time 'cause it is almost over
And I know you're down and I'll see you around
And I know it hurts but you're just getting older
And I know you'll win, you'll do it once again
And I know you're down, I'll see you around
And I know it hurts but you're just getting older
And I know you'll win, you'll do it once again
Just yesterday it, always seemed like such a dream
We're unstoppable, indestructible, nothing happens to our machine
And there's no harm, at least nothing we can see
As for you, not so true, you couldn't choose where his road would lead
What a loss, you just lost all your sleep
And we've always thought that this could never happen, you see
That it's so hard, you gotta get up on your feet
'Cause the only way, I gotta say, is to move on through the week
Don't bide your time 'cause it is almost over

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry (what's happened to you?)

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Techno Ted
Audioslave
Audioslave
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.
Fortnight
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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Jinx, you've shed new light on this song! I never saw the lyrics this way. Maybe it is about Scott! Like pre-Man Overboard or something. Read my comment about "Lemmings" where I mention this song and stick it with your idea of this song, I think you could be right. Not sure of course, but that's cool you see it that way. That'd be creepy to the max if it was about Scott! Crazy man, just crazy.
