High life
Life is short
When it doesn't rain it snores
Yeah the cookie crumbles but in who's hand?
All things said and all things done
Life is short
Oh I am young but have aged
Waited long to seize the day
All things said and plenty done, life is short
Oh could this be
Oh could this be the day I've waited for?
Another door to peek in through
The floor is filthy
But the couch is clean
At the end of the day
That's another day gone
Life is short, oh life is short
Oh
Could this be
Oh
Could this be the day I've waited for?
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Oh I am young but I have aged
Waited long to seize the day
All things said and plenty done
Oh I am young but I have a past
Travelled far to find the start
Yes I am scared and I've been burnt
But life is short
Oh
Could this be
Oh
Could this be the day I've waited for?
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
When it doesn't rain it snores
Yeah the cookie crumbles but in who's hand?
All things said and all things done
Life is short
Oh I am young but have aged
Waited long to seize the day
All things said and plenty done, life is short
Oh could this be
Oh could this be the day I've waited for?
Another door to peek in through
The floor is filthy
But the couch is clean
At the end of the day
That's another day gone
Life is short, oh life is short
Oh
Could this be
Oh
Could this be the day I've waited for?
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Oh I am young but I have aged
Waited long to seize the day
All things said and plenty done
Oh I am young but I have a past
Travelled far to find the start
Yes I am scared and I've been burnt
But life is short
Oh
Could this be
Oh
Could this be the day I've waited for?
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

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 Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.
I can't tell you how many times I've asked myself if this is the day I've waited for... There are times when I deliberate about doing something, over and over and over and then, well, it's too late. Slowly but surely though I am keeping in mind that life is short indeed and sometimes you just have to go for it. ~ Great song all around!
make the most of each day. treasure the moments. don't waste chances waiting around. they're all short. & life is short too.
brilliant song.
life is short
I love this song. I think it's so well written.
Oh I am young but I have aged. Waited long to seize the day. All things said and plenty done, Oh I am young but I have a past. Traveled far to find the start. Yes I am scared and I've been burnt. But life is short.
there's some mistakes in those lyrics. these are correct ones:
When it doesn't rain it snores Yeah the cookie crumbles but in who's hand? All things said and all things done Life is short
Oh I am young but I have aged Waited long to seize the day All things said and plenty done...life's too short
Ooooh could this be.... Ooooh could this be the day I've waited for?
Another door to peek in through The floor is filthy But the couch is clean At the end of the day That's another day gone Life is short....Ooo life is short
Ooooh Could this be.... Ooooh Could this be the day I've waited for?
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba...
Oh I am young but I have aged Waited long to seize the day All things said and plenty done Oh I am young but I have a past Travelled far to find the start Yes I am scared and I've been burnt But life is short
Ooooh Could this be... Ooooh Could this be the day I've waited for?
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba...
great song :] and yes, life is too short.
Life is short. A common and oh so true saying made into an awesome song.
love it. reminds me that i'm young & should make the most out of all the opportunities that come my way...because life is short. and it could be the thing i'm waiting for. and turns out sometimes it is. very happy song.
i love this song. it makes me feel like i should do more and take advantage of the time i have. its a really good song
Wonderful song - it's truthful yet optimistic. I heard it on Grey's Anatomy.
