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 distance and my hearts to sand
Flowing through the hour glass
Time to let go of all we know
And break our hearts in stride.
I need you now more like yesterday
The last day I could see you smile.
For the last time turn out the lights
My life on standby.
So standby and watch
This fall away and fall apart.
Just say that it's over,
It's over and she's gone.
(now...she's...gone)
Don't worry he said,
And she's not coming home.
(she's...not...coming...home)
It's over and she's gone.
The distance and my hearts to sand
Flowing through the hour glass.
I've thought of pieces, I can't let go
Of all the times I never said goodbye.
Just say that it's over,
It's over and she's gone.
(now...she's...gone)
Don't worry he said,
And she's not coming home.
(she's...not...coming...home)
It's over and she's gone.
Wake up! wake up! wake up! wake up!
Wake up now it's over...just tell me it's ok to die
Wake up! wake up! wake up! wake up!
Wake up now it's over...just tell me it's ok to die
Wake up now it's over...just tell me it's ok to die
Wake up now it's over...just tell me it's ok to die
Flowing through the hour glass
Time to let go of all we know
And break our hearts in stride.
I need you now more like yesterday
The last day I could see you smile.
For the last time turn out the lights
My life on standby.
So standby and watch
This fall away and fall apart.
Just say that it's over,
It's over and she's gone.
(now...she's...gone)
Don't worry he said,
And she's not coming home.
(she's...not...coming...home)
It's over and she's gone.
The distance and my hearts to sand
Flowing through the hour glass.
I've thought of pieces, I can't let go
Of all the times I never said goodbye.
Just say that it's over,
It's over and she's gone.
(now...she's...gone)
Don't worry he said,
And she's not coming home.
(she's...not...coming...home)
It's over and she's gone.
Wake up! wake up! wake up! wake up!
Wake up now it's over...just tell me it's ok to die
Wake up! wake up! wake up! wake up!
Wake up now it's over...just tell me it's ok to die
Wake up now it's over...just tell me it's ok to die
Wake up now it's over...just tell me it's ok to die

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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/
Head > Heels

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.
way to go lipgloss&letdown, i'm glad someone cleared that up. Hawthorne ruled on the A Static Lullaby tour, they definitely stole the show, a lot of people left after they played. Anyway you suckers out there make sure to support Hawthorne on the Take Action Tour with Sugarcult and the Early November.
