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.
cold winter cuts - a heart that couldn’t heal
destroyed by it’s own stupidity
a frozen smile - cracks backing frigid lies
I shelter beneath a veil of happiness - a delicate facade
and snow falls as to bury what we had
everything we left behind
although your loving eyes - have left my gaze forever
they’ve been captured in my sleep - although this vacant heart
can’t go on any longer - I feel your soft breath in my dreams
but it shall not be - I cannot shake these feelings
I can’t renounce - this love for you is all I know
I am controlled by sorrow - my hope forever lost
bested by my weakness - will the spring’s warmth never come?
and the snow
still heaping on this broken back
I am lost within its persistence
you took the meaning
from this withered soul
I have no strength without your touch
and so it was - and can never be again
and so it was - and will never ever be again.
lost - this love for you is all I know.
weakness - will the spring’s warmth never come?
a little child crying - from the bunk below
I still love you - I can’t cut that tie from my life
love born in regret? was our blight carved into stone?
the stone that lines my heart - I wish I never loved you
cold sweat and eaten nails - I did this all for you.
a broken heart - a clenched fist full of hair - I did this all for you
and any other embrace - will just turn into shit
in the shadow of our former love
i’d trade a bloody wrist - to live forever in those nights
but the deed hath still been done
destroyed by it’s own stupidity
a frozen smile - cracks backing frigid lies
I shelter beneath a veil of happiness - a delicate facade
and snow falls as to bury what we had
everything we left behind
although your loving eyes - have left my gaze forever
they’ve been captured in my sleep - although this vacant heart
can’t go on any longer - I feel your soft breath in my dreams
but it shall not be - I cannot shake these feelings
I can’t renounce - this love for you is all I know
I am controlled by sorrow - my hope forever lost
bested by my weakness - will the spring’s warmth never come?
and the snow
still heaping on this broken back
I am lost within its persistence
you took the meaning
from this withered soul
I have no strength without your touch
and so it was - and can never be again
and so it was - and will never ever be again.
lost - this love for you is all I know.
weakness - will the spring’s warmth never come?
a little child crying - from the bunk below
I still love you - I can’t cut that tie from my life
love born in regret? was our blight carved into stone?
the stone that lines my heart - I wish I never loved you
cold sweat and eaten nails - I did this all for you.
a broken heart - a clenched fist full of hair - I did this all for you
and any other embrace - will just turn into shit
in the shadow of our former love
i’d trade a bloody wrist - to live forever in those nights
but the deed hath still been done

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
