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.
Never could say what I want to say
Never could do what I want to do
Never could believe you, if it's true
Never could, never would, you make it so hard
I never want to leave you
I'm always right, you're never wrong
We change the tune but not the song
Over and over
Till it's done, it's never done, never done
You make it so hard
Never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
Movin' together, comin' apart
You're what I need, I'm what you want
Never could refuse you from the start
Never could, never would, never could
You make it so hard
Never could say what I want to say
Never could do what I want to do
Never could believe you, if it's true
Never could, never would, you make it so hard
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
Never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
I never want to
Never could do what I want to do
Never could believe you, if it's true
Never could, never would, you make it so hard
I never want to leave you
I'm always right, you're never wrong
We change the tune but not the song
Over and over
Till it's done, it's never done, never done
You make it so hard
Never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
Movin' together, comin' apart
You're what I need, I'm what you want
Never could refuse you from the start
Never could, never would, never could
You make it so hard
Never could say what I want to say
Never could do what I want to do
Never could believe you, if it's true
Never could, never would, you make it so hard
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
Never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
I never want to leave you
I never want to

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.
Gentle Hour

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,
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
A difficult relationship but it's worth holding onto.
