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.
You told me
No apologies
But I'm sorry it couldn't cut the mustard
And it's absurd
Hey, you turned the light off
You gave me darkness
You sucked the blood
Right out of life
Are you running away from me?
Are you running away from you?
Are you running away from me?
Are you running?
You showed me
What I should see
But I'm still blind
And I can't breathe
You swallowed pride
Like someone...died
You chewed it up and spit it out
But no one's to be found now
Are you running away from me?
Are you running away from you?
Are you running away from me?
Are you running?
Are you running away from me?
Are you running away from you?
Are you running away from me?
Are you running? Are you running?
Are you running? Are you running away?
Hey, what are you running away from?
Hey, what are you running away from?
What are you running away from?
You told me
What I should see
But I'm still blind
And I can't breathe
Are you running away from me?
Are you running away from you?
Are you running away from me?
Are you running?
Are you running away from me?
Are you running away from you?
Are you running away from me?
Are you running? Are you running?
Are you running away?
No apologies
But I'm sorry it couldn't cut the mustard
And it's absurd
Hey, you turned the light off
You gave me darkness
You sucked the blood
Right out of life
Are you running away from me?
Are you running away from you?
Are you running away from me?
Are you running?
You showed me
What I should see
But I'm still blind
And I can't breathe
You swallowed pride
Like someone...died
You chewed it up and spit it out
But no one's to be found now
Are you running away from me?
Are you running away from you?
Are you running away from me?
Are you running?
Are you running away from me?
Are you running away from you?
Are you running away from me?
Are you running? Are you running?
Are you running? Are you running away?
Hey, what are you running away from?
Hey, what are you running away from?
What are you running away from?
You told me
What I should see
But I'm still blind
And I can't breathe
Are you running away from me?
Are you running away from you?
Are you running away from me?
Are you running?
Are you running away from me?
Are you running away from you?
Are you running away from me?
Are you running? Are you running?
Are you running away?

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.
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
no comments.....insane
saw em last night tho, fuckin amazing... they played the chorus 2 this once more at the end.....amazing
They made a video for this song.
\'cut the mustard\' is so dated, it is adorable. I wonder if someone had to look it up yet to see what it means. This an amazing song..... good times :D
