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.
all you need
is something i'll believe
flashlights in the hall
but no call
cause when my day is done
i find where i belong
waiting on the curb
for you to come to carry on
it won't be long
we'll turn around
i care enough to wake you up
to make us mine i'll make you shine
stay the night
stay all your life
just come with me
come with me
won't you come with me
come with me again
come with me
(stay the night)
won't you come with me
(stay all your life)
come with me again
(just come with me)
fell so high i broke my jaw
i couldn't talk to you
went underground to play around it's true
but i came back
to get you at that place so i could breathe
it's 3 a.m.
and i'm up again
answering the call of all
the flowers by the bed
make me wish my head
was lying and possessed by truth alone a certain home
a wooden gate, a rabbit hole
we'll turn around it won't be long
capture that place, won't it be fun
come with me
(stay the night)
won't you come with me
(stay all your life)
come with me again
(just come with me)
come with me
(stay the night)
won't you come with me
(stay all your life)
come with me again
(just come with me)
she means more to me
than any living thing
younger than the blush of spring she sings
(stay the night)
won't you come with me
(stay all your life)
come with me again
(just come with me)
is something i'll believe
flashlights in the hall

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.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
aarrghh. why won't anyone like zwan, and why won't they like this song. Perhaps because Zwan is not cool like the pumpkins, it is softer, more mellow, and happier... it's not cool to like happy music, i guess, which is fuckin ridiculous.
humans are naturally drawn to music, it is one of the most emotional experiences that the brain is capable of, and anyone who likes music just to fit in with the crowd they want to fit with is selling their soul in a way...
so i love zwan even though all my friends go around disrespecting it left and right... one even deleted it off my ipod, telling me "it's for your own good"
anyways, i love this song... it's the perfect end track for Mary Star...
tentnant gets it
i sometimes have a tendency to view this whole album as a concept album detailing a relationship and then a breakup, even thought I KNOW BILLY DID NOT WRITE IN THIS WAY... SO WHAT! In this last scene, the emotional roller coaster has landed him in a mental hospital (flowers by the bed), and he's kind of lost himself in some blissful yet impossible hope that she will come back to him... i think it's pretty cool
