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.
Oh
Oh, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Oh
I thought I might begin by filling you in
In case you didn't already know
I'll never forget how you got up and left
In fact, it was downright pretty low
There ain't no way I wanna
You know I ain't gonna
Take you back, so don't even try
You can beg, you can plead
You can sweat, you can bleed
Too bad I could care if you cry
That's it (that's all)
We had fun (had a ball)
It was good while it lasted
But now I'm past it
(It was short) It was sweet
Sure you swept me off my feet
I miss you now and then
But would I do it all again? Nah
You won't find me
Naked and cold, just a-sittin' on the doctor's table
Waitin' to be told just why
I'm no longer able to feel my heart beatin'
Give me a good reason why
I kinda went numb
Just around about the time you told me you were movin' on
And you said that you were gonna phone me
It's been so long and there ain't nothin' wrong with the line
It's too late to regret it
But you're the one who said it
We're better off being apart
I hate to be a downer
But don't bother comin' 'round here
'Cause I won't have a change of heart (a change of heart)
That's it (that's all)
We had fun ( had a ball)
It was good while it lasted
But now I'm past it
(It was short) It was sweet
Sure you swept me off my feet
I miss you now and then
But would I do it all again? Nah
You won't find me
Naked and cold, just a-sittin' on the doctor's table
Waitin' to be told just why
I'm no longer able to feel my heart beatin'
Give me a good reason why
I kinda went numb
Just around about the time you told me you were movin' on
And you said that you were gonna phone me
It's been so long and there ain't nothin' wrong with the line
Nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah
Ha
Hey, yeah, yeah
Well, I hope you learned a lesson
'Cause you'll never be messing
With my head again the way that you did
It was never gonna work, you were too much of a jerk
I'm finally fed up with it
That's it (that's all)
We had fun (had a ball)
It was good while it lasted
But now I'm past it
(It was short) It was sweet
Sure you swept me off my feet
I miss you now and then
But would I do it all again? Nah
You won't find me
Naked and cold, just a-sittin' on the doctor's table

Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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.
This song actually applied to a relationship once,quite abit ago... "Said that you were going to phone me. It's been so long, and there Ain't nothing wrong with the line".
He took two years to call me back!!!! And I got to say "Nah",to his asking me out again.
I LOVE THIS SONG AND HOW COME BARELY ANYONE WRITES IN SHANIA'S PAGES!!! SO UNCOOL! lol ooooo wellllllll... i guess im the only dysfunctional emo/coutnry kid
OMG i love shania twain!! this song is soo cool, i had a friend that i wanted to say good bye to, ok my ex, he hurt me in so many ways when we where dating. so i sang him this song and he left!

"(It was sure!) It was sweet" is wrong.
It should be: "(It was short!) It was sweet"
