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.
That burning feeling.
Red liquids.
Clear liquids.
Blessed are the sick.
Children shiver in the river.
Where is our god now?
Does he watch over all in El Segundo?
He don't lie when he say,
"Under."
I'm wasting away.
I find time to pine.
When pining away my time.
Within sin
With no redemption
We will find our souls
And the shells they're kept in
All wasted away.
Blessed are the sick in me.
The prey, the thrill, the chill and we
Are martyrs that crumble on time.
Predestination.
We'll stop upon dimes.
And he'd constructed us all in El Segundo,
As the shivering children pray.
Demons in
Demons out.
Cry for dawn.
Gratis.
Bored.
I'm the matador of the children's ward.
Beggars wed choosers.
Red sheets.
Bed sheets.
Boozers.
I'm the head fan.
Blessed be my bed pan.
It's a cold, having just been mugged feeling.
In the sun
I've got this for you
It's under my finger nails.
I brought this for you.
It's typically Sunday.
I'm digging a hole.
Red liquids.
Clear liquids.
Blessed are the sick.
Children shiver in the river.
Where is our god now?
Does he watch over all in El Segundo?
He don't lie when he say,
"Under."
I'm wasting away.
I find time to pine.
When pining away my time.
Within sin
With no redemption
We will find our souls
And the shells they're kept in
All wasted away.
Blessed are the sick in me.
The prey, the thrill, the chill and we
Are martyrs that crumble on time.

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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
i have NEVER felt so much power and emotion from a song. gave me fucking CHILLLLS, man. oh my God. the only thing i have to say about the lyrics is the end [my favorite part]: "All wasted away. I'm digging a hole. This is what it's like to be alone." its actually "I'm digging a hole. I'll shut out the world. [insert line i dont know but really want to find out]. This is what it's like to be alone, this is what it's like to be alone."
^anyone know that line ?
Daryl ? thank you. and i'm sorry for the both of us.
ah found it.<br /> "I'm digging a hole. I'll shut out the world. No--I'm on top, I'm feeling done with this. This is what it's like to be alone, this is what it's like to be alone."<br /> boom.<br /> Jesus.
I have Ulcerative Colitis - which is the sister disease to Crohn's. I had to have my entire large intestine removed after 33 days in the hospital. This disease came out of no where to me and my boyfriend of two years left me during it. This song really hit home because there aren't many people who understand what it is like to poop bloody diarrhea and not being able to make it to the bathroom - it isn't your typical first date topic, yet it is such a huge part of who we are. While it doesn't define us, it does have an affect on our lives. I feel for ya Daryl. I wonder "Why" sometimes too.
Daryl says: "It's basically about the sickness I have to deal with, and it's about the first two years I spent being diagnosed with it. It's just about how I dealt with it and also the lack of compassion I got from a certain woman during that period of my life. That was the period where she had grown outta me and I needed her most ya know? When I was down on my knees hoping not to die, dealing with sickness and all these big changes in my life that if you knew me you would have been there for me but... She knew me damn well and she whored herself around rather than being there for me during that point in my life. It's also about dealing with being completely alone. Being a kid who just got outta high school and not having any answers and not having anyone to give me the right answers about being sick and feeling alone. It's the most important thing I ever wrote in my whole life as far as music and lyrics are concerned."
Great song about the time he used to spend in hospitals alone.....even tho i cant relate to that i can relate to times when u are alone and everything seems 10X worse than it is....tho its nothing compared to what it must have been like for him!
i'm pretty sure this song is what got me through high school.
Such a good song. I love the "children shiver in the river" line, just cause it always makes me think of Mu Empire.
Haha, fuck. I meant to post this on Mu Empire, and say that I liked the line cause it reminded me of this song. Should probably not post at 2/3 AM anymore.<br /> <br /> Nonetheless this is hands down the best GJ song, the ending still gives me chills everytime.<br /> <br /> Sorry for the stupid comment, hah
i think this is the best song i have ever heard by glassjaw. the emotion that daryl puts into the end of it is amazing and i can almost feel the pain that he went through. i wish i could write a song like this.
Sean Huey
this song is pretty dope.....
yea g this shiznat is off da hook yo. wtf?
Favorite song on the album. Highly emotional song. If you know what Daryl had to go through with his disease, and listen ot this song and every word he sings, there is no doubt that you will at least get a tear in your eye. True music at it's best, pulling the emotion out of it's listner, no one likes to be alone, and if you are listen to this song. I'm sure you can find a way to relate. Daryl is the man.
