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 was dancing with a dirty blond texan
Charming accent but the music's playing too loud for talking
So I showed him
How people in the far east get down
Push it up, push it down
Pull it up, pull it down
Keep it up, keep it down
Now put me down
What a workout!
If you want, you can come
Come get it, get it
If you don't, you may really regret it, 'gret it
Up and down till your knees start shakin', shakin'
Ain't it good to be alive tonight
One life, two-time, three girls, four guys
Five ripples running up and down my spine
6.0 make it sweet, drop another dime
I was talking with a born-again christian
Ah-ah, ah-uh
"So what's it like to start life all over?"
He sad "amen, I feel like I've been rediscovering the tomb of tutankhamen"
Push it up, push it down
Pull it up, pull it down
Baby, don't put me down
What a workout!
What you want, it's a done deal, shake it, shake it
What you don't, you can forget about it, 'bout it
Up and down, feel your brainwaves jumpin' jumpin'
Makes me want to take a dive, oh-oh, yeah
Oh-oh, as we count to five
One life, two-time, three girls, four guys
Five ripples running up and down my spine
Can you hold on, someone's calling on the other line
I'm back
Push it up, push it down
Pull it up, pull it down
Keep it up, keep it down
Now put me down
What a workout!
If you want, you can come, come get it, get it
If you don't you may really regret it, 'gret it
Up and down till your knees start shakin', shakin'
Ain't it good to be alive tonight
One life, two-time, three girls, four guys
Five ripples running up and down my spine
6.0 make it sweet, drop another dime
Charming accent but the music's playing too loud for talking
So I showed him
How people in the far east get down
Push it up, push it down
Pull it up, pull it down
Keep it up, keep it down
Now put me down
What a workout!
If you want, you can come
Come get it, get it
If you don't, you may really regret it, 'gret it
Up and down till your knees start shakin', shakin'
Ain't it good to be alive tonight
One life, two-time, three girls, four guys

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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.
Nah, Hikki's pretty easy to understand. Especially in this song!
