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.
Just like the lady in the blue dress,
You've got cigarettes on your breath,
Hairspray and some cheap perfume
I'll put a little sour in your sweet.
You've got so much fucking tongue in cheek
You want what you could never have
You said, said you want respect
Well then you better get some for yourself.
'Cause all that I see right now,
Is someone whose lost and insecure.
So you say, that I am rated X.
You suffer from the lack of sex.
Black heart and your lipstick smeared.
Your points are trite, and not too sober
To deal with your running over.
Your sane, but that ain't cleche lines.
You said, said you want respect
Well then you better get some yourself.
Cause all that I see right now,
Is someone whose lost and insecure.
Don't try to be cute with me
'Cause I know you hate yourself.
And you'd end your stupid lies now
But your too spineless.
Just like the lady in the blue dress,
You've got cigarettes on your breath,
Hairspray and some cheap perfume
You said, said you want respect
Well then you better get some for yourself.
'Cause all that I see right now,
Is someone whose lost and insecure.
You've got cigarettes on your breath,
Hairspray and some cheap perfume
I'll put a little sour in your sweet.
You've got so much fucking tongue in cheek
You want what you could never have
You said, said you want respect
Well then you better get some for yourself.
'Cause all that I see right now,
Is someone whose lost and insecure.
So you say, that I am rated X.
You suffer from the lack of sex.
Black heart and your lipstick smeared.
Your points are trite, and not too sober
To deal with your running over.
Your sane, but that ain't cleche lines.
You said, said you want respect
Well then you better get some yourself.
Cause all that I see right now,
Is someone whose lost and insecure.
Don't try to be cute with me
'Cause I know you hate yourself.
And you'd end your stupid lies now
But your too spineless.
Just like the lady in the blue dress,
You've got cigarettes on your breath,
Hairspray and some cheap perfume
You said, said you want respect
Well then you better get some for yourself.
'Cause all that I see right now,
Is someone whose lost and insecure.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
I cant believe no one has said anything about this song...its awesome!!!!! Not as emotional as most of their other songs but still a great one. It kind of reminds me of a friend I have, wont say any names but I gave it to my roommate and he just busted out laughing since he kind of dated her...haha Anyway great song and Senses Fails rocks!!!!!!
when is the CD coming out?
this song has not been posted on because it's in the lyrics. you can't expect other poeple to treat you right if you don't value yourslef because they will see through it in any way
i love this song. it's my favorite song on the new album. it just feel like sometimes it describes me and a lot of people i know. because like he said"you say you want respect" but you still hate yourself and your a mess.
i agree with badseed.
great song
These lyrics are wrong... it's:
You say, that you want respect Well then you'd better get some for yourself. Cause all that I see right now, Is someone whose lost and insecure.
Your points are trite, and I'm too sober to deal with your running over. Your same pathetic cliche lines.
And you'd end your stupid life now.
"you'd end your stupid life now/but you're too spineless"
as it is with lots of people that hate themselves but don't kill themselves. the fear of actually following through with it
just a great song man
this is my fave senses fail song,i think. sadly its definately the only really good song on their new album.just my opinion,maybe? god,we've all been so over the selifish,self indulgent,slutty miserable person in our life,right?
^uh,meaning thats what the song is about. ^
