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.
Decrease the light, increase the smiles...a familiar heat is swarming the
air. Soothing movements that help the evening come to a halt. Lifetime
achievement... the looks on their faces make it worthwhile. The swaying
of the ocean, to the swaying of your hips...shivering as your lover's
caress touches your lips. Perfect world and perfect lives, we have the
soundtrack for their futures. The seawater smell in the cold outside
world seems to be enchanting the room. The chatter of riches keeping the
beat, as the sea seems to freeze. The brisk air seems to make our hearts
colder. The dimming smiles seem to have halted with a silent scream. We
must play on. The perfect life torn apart in a matter of seconds...I hear
their streams and cries...I know now that I'm the only one who possesses
true happiness. We must play on. The perfect life torn apart in a matter
of seconds...I hear their screams and cries...I know now that I'm the only
one who possesses true happiness. We must play on. Keep the beat, we tap
our feet...screams add a new feel to what we've perfected so dear. We'll
play to our deaths for we possess true happiness. We are finally free.
Dying with our one passion, music: the greatest wealth of them all. We
must play on.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
As weird as it seems this song is about the Titanic (yes the ship). The band supposedly kept playing while the boat was sinking, and that is the biggest dedication to music I could ever think of. If I were to die today I would love to spend my last moments either playing music or enjoying some of my favorite artists. This song is a dedication to all the music we create, our fans and anyone who is truly in love with music. -tommy
one of their best songs that i find it to be a powerful homage to music.
This is about the band that played on the Titanic and how they continued to play even as the ship sank and the rest of the boat fell into chaos.
wow
awesome song
awesome band FULLSTOP.
Leap the beat, we tap our feet, Screams add a new feel to what we've, to what we perfected so dear. We'll play to our deaths for we posses true happiness. We are finally free. Dying with our one passion, music, The greatest wealth of them all. We must play on.
deeeem.
iGod, you made this song's meaning so much more beautiful. i love this song and the amazing instrumentals, but i must say, the way you explained the lyrics just makes the song in a way seem..i don't know..magical?
I just copied it off the BTBAM website.
A few corrections:
"Leap the beat, we tap our feet" should be: "Keep the beat, we tap our feet"
"A familiar beat is swarming the art" should be: "A familiar beat is swarming the air"
The intro is amazing on this song. Absolutely love it
incredible. btbam is perfect. end of story.
best BTBAM song yet. Crazy ass lyrics!!(in the good way)
