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.
I thought I knew who you were
I thought I did, now I ain't so sure
I can't believe what I see
I take a look and I know what you need
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high
Days have changed and rolled by
They are forever 'til the day that I die
You tried to kill me again
I feel no pain although the scars never mend
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high
I thought I did, now I ain't so sure
I can't believe what I see
I take a look and I know what you need
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high
Days have changed and rolled by
They are forever 'til the day that I die
You tried to kill me again
I feel no pain although the scars never mend
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
MAN WTF NO METAL FANS THESE DAYS
Talking about a bad experience speaking of wich WHY THE FCK arent there any post about BLS i mean common you UNCULTURED FCKS let go of you winnies and drop the Eminem and Listen to REAL ARTISTS
Lol.. you wonder why people don't listen to Zakk? How many people worshoped Sabbath or Zeppelin way back when? Very few. Zepp got some mainstream radio play, but you never fuckin' heard Sabbath on the top 40 stations. Ever. Nobody gave a rats ass way back when. Now Sabbath are crowned the king of Classic Music and they're cool to like.
In 20 years, people will look at shit like Limp Bizkit and wonder what the fuck they were on. That's when shit like Shadows Fall and Zakk will be 'cool'
me and this girl i was seeing called off our "relationship" on semi-mutual terms, and i feel JUST like this song.
So, I guess it's about the end of bad relationships
I think you're right. I happen to be in a kind of the same situation right now. Not that the break-up was bad. But the following reaction from her. She must be crazy or high. As simple as that. A great song with a sweet solo
My dude always sang this song all the time, then i just listen 2 it, and.. i was like hooked and shit.. i really don't know what this song is about i just love it!
