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.
All the umbrellas in london
Couldn't hide my love for you
All the rain on thames-side
Couldn't stop shining through
I dreamt of you last night
Lying next to me in blue
All the umbrellas in london
Couldn't hide my love for you
Run to the window and call out my name
We'll meet where the sun goes to hide from the rain
From the rain
From the rain
All the umbrellas in london
Couldn't hide my love for you
When everyone else is hiding
Rainy sundays drunk at two
You'll whisper sweet lies to me
And one of them will be true
All the umbrellas in london
Couldn't hide my love for you
The gloom of the city at evening is still
You whisper come to me
And I always will
Always will
Always will
All the rain in this town
And still the sky is blue
Saint james square is teeming with doves
And that's what set me free
Across the darkening city
To an attic room for two
All the umbrellas in london
Couldn't hide my love for you
I counted all the lights
They don't shine as bright
They don't pierce the night
Like you do
Like you do
Like you do
Like you do
Couldn't hide my love for you
All the rain on thames-side
Couldn't stop shining through
I dreamt of you last night
Lying next to me in blue
All the umbrellas in london
Couldn't hide my love for you
Run to the window and call out my name
We'll meet where the sun goes to hide from the rain
From the rain
From the rain
All the umbrellas in london
Couldn't hide my love for you
When everyone else is hiding
Rainy sundays drunk at two
You'll whisper sweet lies to me
And one of them will be true
All the umbrellas in london
Couldn't hide my love for you
The gloom of the city at evening is still
You whisper come to me
And I always will
Always will
Always will
All the rain in this town
And still the sky is blue
Saint james square is teeming with doves
And that's what set me free
Across the darkening city
To an attic room for two
All the umbrellas in london
Couldn't hide my love for you
I counted all the lights
They don't shine as bright
They don't pierce the night
Like you do
Like you do
Like you do
Like you do

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
This must be one of the ultimate love songs ever created.
This is the most amazing love song I have ever heard in my life.
sharply the menacing wind sweeps over the bending poplars, newly bare. a george orwell reference? keep the aspidistra flying!
amazing amazing amazing. favourite song right now.
is this a magnetic fields reference? songmeanings.net/lyric.php
sweet.
its very captivity very simplistic in telling the girl how he feels about her you are transported into his emotions for just 3-4 minutes
Every time I listen this song, I picture a school trip to London. I can't help, it feels very highschool to me! :) I adore this song!
I'm surprised theres not a single comment on this song! This song is simply uplifting.
The actual song meaning is rather apparent, so need for analysis, but I did like the verse "You'll whisper sweet lies to me And one of them will be true"
She would tell him many exaggerrated promises, expressions but in the end, when she tells him that she loves him, that would be the most truest "lie" she's come to say.
agreed with blissx. until i read/heard the lyrics, i didnt really like this song, but it really is adorable.:)
