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.

Feel the drug of your persona
Miss Europa disco dancer
I'm in heaven when I see you

So serene, the world turns blue
Heads are spinning, it feels so good

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,
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.
"Someone told me that it sounded like Wham! — what annoyed me pretty much. The first single I bought was My Old Piano by Diana Ross, I always liked that kind of music. Nick criticises the current TV-culture and programmes, which are based on observing other people. These people are drinking or trying to be funny. That's why I constructed a disco song. The guitar sounds like a piano, but it actually was a 58 Strat. That was really cool, the others had to stop me, otherwise I would have kept playing all day long. The line 'Braindead Motherfuckers' is about watching crap like Big Brother. Nick and I catched ourselves once watching that cracked shit for almost one hour without noticing that we became braindead ourselves." (James, Guitar 02/01)
The above users surely are "braindead motherfuckers". The song is political and talks about Europe and especially the Europian Union for god's shake.
It talks about the original hopes that it would become a human-centric super-power, instead it has remained a sinking-in-dept ugly messed-up no-brainer's land.
It's not a stab at Kylie. They like her!
Shame the left out the "Brain dead motherfuckers" bit at the end. He says it about 24 times or so!
The song is about disco music being unintellectual and repetitive, hence "braindead motherfuckers", meaning they have no mind of their own.
I don't get the European analogy. I think the song is on a more simpler level - its about girls and guys from Northern Europe who spend the summer working in beach resorts in the Med. and burn out by the end of the season through hard work and equally hard partying. Its almost a dig at Club 18-30 Holiday reps.
Yeah, I agree with the idea that this song is about EU and how it's all getting fucked up in there... I clearly see it now, in 2013, but 12 years ago I kinda thought EU was an incredible thing for the people of Europe... Can't blame myself, I was a kid back in the day; but it's amazing how the band foresaw all this shit
it'd make sense, but it's still got a glorious groove.
plus kylie and someone from the group collaborated on her album entitled impossible princess, so perhaps this could be a reflection on her public persona, or else on the entire dance pop scene in Europe.
finally on the second time 'round it's "so messed up the world turns grey"
