He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
It's nice to see you again.
I love what you've done with your hair,
how it falls on your cheeks.
Your eyes reflect one-thousand bleeding hearts.
You ask me why I'm scared.
Does it seem fair?
This ordinary voice, these ordinary features,
insist on your interest. You insist on your interest.
Are you interested?
Wait just one minute before you leave.
I won't let you walk away.
And I, and i know what you're thinking before you speak.
These sweet charms. Are not working.
Am I not the one that hurts?
Am I not the one that bleeds?
these timely conversations cover all familiar themes.
Am I not the one that hurts?
Am I not the one that bleeds?
These timely discussions don't accomplish anything.
And i'd love to believe you.
and i'm dying with concern.
but we're not getting better.
and our lives are getting worse.
is it too much to ask for a girl to see the difference?
are we wasting time?
are we wasting time?
am i wasting time?
hope you say
"wait just one minute before you leave,
i wont let you walk away"
and i, and i know what you're thinking before you speak.
these sweet charms are not working.
am i not the one that hurts?
am i not the one that bleeds?
these boring conversations cover all familiar themes.
am i not the one that hurts?
am i not the one that bleeds?
these timely discussions.
they dont accomplish anything.
am i not the one that bleeds?
these boring conversations cover all familiar themes.
am i not the one that hurts?
am i not the one that bleeds?
these timely discussions.
they dont accomplish anything.
these timely discussions
they dont accomplish anything.
these timely discussions
accomplish anything...
I love what you've done with your hair,

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Techno Ted

Audioslave
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.
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.
