Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
My friends say it's alright, keep my hands
Just out of sight
In bedrooms where I'm nothing else
There are broken laws
And empty shelves
And wonderful paintings of white
Wedding dresses
I will love you forever (but these paintings
Will last longer)
There's fake gold melting in my hands
Took it and lost some of my friends
I died telling the world
This medicine, will bury me in unpaved sheets
But I know a ghost and she knows that
I know a ghost and she knows how to protect me
There's God then there's me
Then there's everything in between
And there's God, there's me
There's Saturn, there's me
And forget everything in between
My hands shake and squeeze tight
During surgery at night
Time is medicine
And all the reason why we can
Down fire, warm up our veins
Until we forget all our names
Forget this itching trigger finger grip
Cause there's something dancing in my head
To a song I can't forget
And right now it's spinning the world
It's the medicine that I need
Like clean new sheets
But I know a ghost and she knows that
I know a ghost and she knows how to protect me
There's God then there's me
Then there's everything in between
And there's God, there's me
There's Saturn, there's me
And forget everything in between
There's a mirror that's never seen a face
In a room that takes up space
There's a journal and a lock of hair
There's a feather that never found the air
And they said I can leave heaven now
Just out of sight
In bedrooms where I'm nothing else
There are broken laws
And empty shelves
And wonderful paintings of white
Wedding dresses
I will love you forever (but these paintings
Will last longer)
There's fake gold melting in my hands
Took it and lost some of my friends
I died telling the world
This medicine, will bury me in unpaved sheets
But I know a ghost and she knows that
I know a ghost and she knows how to protect me
There's God then there's me
Then there's everything in between
And there's God, there's me
There's Saturn, there's me
And forget everything in between
My hands shake and squeeze tight
During surgery at night
Time is medicine
And all the reason why we can
Down fire, warm up our veins
Until we forget all our names
Forget this itching trigger finger grip
Cause there's something dancing in my head
To a song I can't forget
And right now it's spinning the world
It's the medicine that I need
Like clean new sheets
But I know a ghost and she knows that
I know a ghost and she knows how to protect me
There's God then there's me
Then there's everything in between
And there's God, there's me
There's Saturn, there's me
And forget everything in between
There's a mirror that's never seen a face
In a room that takes up space
There's a journal and a lock of hair
There's a feather that never found the air
And they said I can leave heaven now

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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 think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Sounds more like Alcohol rather than drugs.
Down fire, warm up our veins Until we forget all our names Usually when you drink straight it burns and usually gives you a warm feeling inside...warming up your veins, your blood, making you feel warm inside. The surgery at night is probably talking about cutting yourself or contemplating suicide, also the itching trigger finger. I mean just because a song mentions veins doesn't guarantee that it must be about heroin. If there was the case, and it always meant that, then it would really be as interesting.
