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.
The capacity for innocent enjoyment
Isn't the kind of thing you learn out of your books,
There's a river of sensation running deep and wet and wide
And you swim it when you see it and you see it when you do not need to look.
Intoxication - God in the wine
Intoxication - everything all of the time
Intoxication - in every cell,
Want to feel you do that jelly-magic like you always do so well...
Now we spin around in ecstasy for hours
Feeling the current start to suck us from below
We are off to see the Wizard then we go to work again
Now the pure imagination shows us everything we ever need to know
(I'll say it again)
Intoxication - God in the wine
Intoxication - everything all of the time
Intoxication - in every cell,
Want to feel you do that jelly-magic...
(Oh...)
Intoxication - God in the wine
Intoxication - everything all of the time
Intoxication - in every cell,
Want to feel you do that jelly-magic like you always do so well...
Wine and silence hits you like a bullet in the brain
No way of knowing when Intoxication takes you out and then don't bring you back again...
Intoxication... Intoxication... Intoxication... Intoxication...
Intoxication - Holy words and holes and music
Slip it out and bite it off
Intoxication - Only he who feels it knows it
Only one heart beats up love
Intoxication - All we're hearing is firework music
Coming out the other side
Intoxication - No knowing no knowing no knowing
No knowing no knowing no...
Intoxication... Intoxication...
Isn't the kind of thing you learn out of your books,
There's a river of sensation running deep and wet and wide
And you swim it when you see it and you see it when you do not need to look.
Intoxication - God in the wine
Intoxication - everything all of the time
Intoxication - in every cell,
Want to feel you do that jelly-magic like you always do so well...
Now we spin around in ecstasy for hours
Feeling the current start to suck us from below
We are off to see the Wizard then we go to work again
Now the pure imagination shows us everything we ever need to know
(I'll say it again)
Intoxication - God in the wine
Intoxication - everything all of the time
Intoxication - in every cell,
Want to feel you do that jelly-magic...
(Oh...)
Intoxication - God in the wine
Intoxication - everything all of the time
Intoxication - in every cell,
Want to feel you do that jelly-magic like you always do so well...
Wine and silence hits you like a bullet in the brain
No way of knowing when Intoxication takes you out and then don't bring you back again...
Intoxication... Intoxication... Intoxication... Intoxication...
Intoxication - Holy words and holes and music
Slip it out and bite it off
Intoxication - Only he who feels it knows it
Only one heart beats up love
Intoxication - All we're hearing is firework music
Coming out the other side
Intoxication - No knowing no knowing no knowing
No knowing no knowing no...
Intoxication... Intoxication...

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
