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.
Flaunt your will at every wheel
Perish it, your chocolate soul
Cobblestones under your wheels
I got pictures on my mind
I got pictures on my mind
I got pictures on my mind
I got pictures on my mind
Circumvent your thick ego
When in fights, they're on the go
You can't tell me that I'm real
I got pictures on my mind
I got pictures on my mind
I got pictures on my mind
I got pictures on my mind
Fear waits (fear waits)
For us (for us)
When the present can't be sealed
Away (away)
Gold dust (gold dust)
Now the dishes can be cleared
Fear waits
For us (for us)
'Til the moment is revealed (revealed)
Then turns (then turns)
To rust (to rust)
For the mighty conquered meal
Can't you look at my shaved ass
Ounce is gone, and God is once
You can't see me suddenly
I got pictures on my mind
I got pictures on my mind
I got pictures on my mind
I got pictures on my mind
I got pictures on my mind
Perish it, your chocolate soul
Cobblestones under your wheels
I got pictures on my mind
I got pictures on my mind
I got pictures on my mind
I got pictures on my mind
Circumvent your thick ego
When in fights, they're on the go
You can't tell me that I'm real
I got pictures on my mind
I got pictures on my mind
I got pictures on my mind
I got pictures on my mind
Fear waits (fear waits)
For us (for us)
When the present can't be sealed
Away (away)
Gold dust (gold dust)
Now the dishes can be cleared
Fear waits
For us (for us)
'Til the moment is revealed (revealed)
Then turns (then turns)
To rust (to rust)
For the mighty conquered meal
Can't you look at my shaved ass
Ounce is gone, and God is once
You can't see me suddenly
I got pictures on my mind
I got pictures on my mind
I got pictures on my mind
I got pictures on my mind
I got pictures on my mind

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.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Pffft. C'mon people, it ain't that hard. It's about taking a shit.
I can see people criticizing already, but you gotta remember System of a Down is a band that borderlines the avant-garde, and as such, doesn't write straight-forward lyrics about clichéd themes (no shit).
Read the lyrics again with the meaning I propse on your mind; it makes sense.
I just love the part where he sings "ba ba ba baaaa", makes me smile every time. (:
ditto
The pictures were mentioned in the song "Boom"! How these pictures are driving people crazy because of our war.
i'll bet $20 that Daron wrote this, haha.
and I think it's time someone should post the lyrics sorry I'm from germany and don't understand anything but : I've got pictures on my mind... ;) & ...fair ways, four us... so, anyone who knows more?

In my opiniom he's talking about the struggle to live in the moment;<br /> <br /> (Look inside yourself)<br /> Circumvent your Tiki doll <br /> When in fights<br /> They're on the go<br /> <br /> <br /> I've got pictures on my mind<br /> <br /> (Thoughts about the past, not living in the present)<br /> <br /> When the present can be sealed<br /> Away<br /> Cold rust<br /> For the mighty conquered meal<br /> <br /> (Wasting value time in life with images from the past in his head)<br /> <br /> Can't you look at my shamed ass?<br /> Now she's gone and got us once<br /> You can't see me Saturday<br /> <br /> I've got pictures on my mind<br /> <br /> (Too busy in life living in thoughts of the past to enjoy today)
