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.
A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I've saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
They disappear now when I'm dreamin' of your face
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me, yeah
The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go, oh-oh yeah yeah
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, it's only you and me
Everything I know (yeah), and anywhere I go (yeah)
It gets hard but it won't take away my love (yeah)
And when the last one falls (oh-oh) when it's all said and done
It gets hard but it won't take away my love, whoa, oh-oh
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, it's only you and me, yeah, oh yeah
Oh-oh, oh oh oh
Since the last time that I've saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
They disappear now when I'm dreamin' of your face
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me, yeah
The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go, oh-oh yeah yeah
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, it's only you and me
Everything I know (yeah), and anywhere I go (yeah)
It gets hard but it won't take away my love (yeah)
And when the last one falls (oh-oh) when it's all said and done
It gets hard but it won't take away my love, whoa, oh-oh
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, it's only you and me, yeah, oh yeah
Oh-oh, oh oh oh

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

I Can't Go To Sleep

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.

“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.
I think its about that person who (well I'd like to think of it this way) you broke up with either recently or a long time ago. And you later find out or realize that, that person means the whole world to you. Only this time its too dang late. Shes gone and shes so far away and all you can ever do is dream about her, and live for that moment that you will be together in your dreams. Its a sad song, a song of regrets maybe, but generally i think its a sad song.
It's about being completely in love and sure of your feelings for that person and even though there are many miles that serperate us right now, we're with eachother in our dreams. And you make me can't wait to see and hold you. You're the one I need, want and love... nothing will ever take away my love for you!
This has been one of my favorite songs for a long time. A few years ago (I was a senior in high school at the time) I had to put my dog to sleep after having her my whole life. I grew up with her and she was always there for me every single day, waiting to show me how much she loved me (I know this sounds stupid, but I love dogs haha). Anyway, in the car ride back from putting her to sleep, I heard this song...and although it's supposed to be about a significant other, the whole "Here Without You" part really hit home.
A couple months later, I met a girl who managed to make me feel like no other girl ever could. When we were first getting to know each other, she got a hold of my phone and saw my background (my dog) and the words "Here Without You". She thought it was about a past girlfriend that I couldn't get over, and it almost cost me a chance at being with her. But in the end, we connected over my dog, and we ended up dating for over a year (most of which was long distance) before she ended things. The ironic part of the story is that SHE became the ex-girlfriend that I couldn't get over for a while.
I know it's a pretty lame story, but I'm a pretty lame guy haha. Although it was really interesting when I heard this song on the radio just a few months after my dog passed away. I had not heard it on the radio since the day she died, but when I counted the days since she had passed...it was exactly "100 days since I saw her face". It was such a crazy coincidence (and I did NOT make it up).
But anyway, I love this song because it can represent your feelings about being away from any loved one. Whether you're torn apart by a long-distance relationship, break up, or death, "it gets hard but it won't take away my love". I think that can speak to a lot of people in a lot of situations, which is why this song is one of the best ever
I listened to this several times after I broke up with my girlfriend. It's a good thing I'm still friends with her, or I would cry every time I heard this song.
I broke up with my b/f almost a year ago, and he told me after we broke up that I should listen to the song. I did, and I balled!!! I guess it helped me see things from his side. BUT it is a great, and beautiful song!!!
This song upsets me. Its really beautiful but it reminds me a friend that passed on. Maybe because we we're listening to this song on the way to funeral. I would assume that he has lost a lover/friend..
Well i Know how You feel my Ex Dedicated This Song TO me and Then He Died Like Two days After That DDD:
I think this song has become a favorite for all the families of military and other organizations that are traveling away from each other. This is my favorite song ever!
well, I think this is a great love song. It's about sb who has broken up with his boy/girlfriend, still loves him/her and misses him/her. Ilove the music and the way he sings!
Yes being the one breaking up w/ the other person, the song's sad. BEING the one broken up w/ after 3 yrs., it's devastating. Along w/ Pearl Jam's "Black"....
Once I had a great girlfriend, but we broke up for some stupid reason and now we're still good friends but now we have an impossible relation... She has now a new boyfriend for almost 2 years and I have a new girlfriend for almost a year, but every time we meet eachother and we're alone then this world just stops for a second for both of us... We don't know what to do because we both love two persons, it's realy hard to chose between two person that are both very special to you Each time I hear this song I think the two girls I love, I know that someday I will have to let one of my precious persons go... :(
