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 constant realization of dominance results in fear
Wake-up tired with a mouth full of nothing
Deceived distressed by the truth they've been witholding
Televisionary popular identity
Getting closer to the minute of our gravity
I sometimes ask myself did I speak my mind
Or shut my mouth
Was I a follower a leader insignificant
Mere shadow of a ghost bearing innocence
Constative voices preach
Talk of truth in their political speak
Carry on 'til they're blue in the face
And my point of view has lost it's place
Last things
Did i give nothing in return
Stand up for a cause
Give permission to a mute war
Call me ignorant maybe i was never smart
Like a wolf running high on adrenaline
All the while in the dim with a low hum
Rising up growing loud i can hear them
Religious left and right
Power hungry heads of state
Melancholy death fall of our nemesis
Strong will survive or so say our presidents
43242 code 1
Troops move forward let it all be done
Begining of the end soil has been tread
Mother daughter father song sky burns death
Premonition, television stuttering indecision
We the people citizens lies are being force fed
Money power cruelty blood is shed in our streets
When where does the sacrifice end
We're falling fast from the war inspired
Double standard idiots
Helterskelter henchmen
Consequences catastrophic
Lead us not into temptation with your
Damning words and gorified hatred
Avengeful lineage
We will bear alone to our death
Wake-up tired with a mouth full of nothing
Deceived distressed by the truth they've been witholding
Televisionary popular identity
Getting closer to the minute of our gravity
I sometimes ask myself did I speak my mind
Or shut my mouth
Was I a follower a leader insignificant
Mere shadow of a ghost bearing innocence
Constative voices preach
Talk of truth in their political speak
Carry on 'til they're blue in the face
And my point of view has lost it's place
Last things
Did i give nothing in return
Stand up for a cause
Give permission to a mute war
Call me ignorant maybe i was never smart
Like a wolf running high on adrenaline
All the while in the dim with a low hum
Rising up growing loud i can hear them
Religious left and right
Power hungry heads of state
Melancholy death fall of our nemesis
Strong will survive or so say our presidents
43242 code 1
Troops move forward let it all be done
Begining of the end soil has been tread
Mother daughter father song sky burns death
Premonition, television stuttering indecision
We the people citizens lies are being force fed
Money power cruelty blood is shed in our streets
When where does the sacrifice end
We're falling fast from the war inspired
Double standard idiots
Helterskelter henchmen
Consequences catastrophic
Lead us not into temptation with your
Damning words and gorified hatred
Avengeful lineage
We will bear alone to our death

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Magical

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This and DIY are probably my favorite songs for now. This one sounds a bit poppy for KMFDM, but it's great.
