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'm going nowhere
Don't look so scared
I'm going nowhere
So tell me that you love me again
Tell me that you care
So tell me that you love me again
Yeah I'm going nowhere
Don't look so scared
I'm going nowhere
Could be
Could be
Could be
I'm already there
Don't look so scared
I'm going nowhere
So tell me that you love me again
Tell me that you care
So tell me that you love me again
Yeah I'm going nowhere
Don't look so scared
I'm going nowhere
Could be
Could be
Could be
I'm already there

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Beautiful song. Wow... I am the first to comment on this song and "this Morning." I guess nobody heard either one. I'd share this with you if you want... maybe provide an email on here????
I think it's an extra song on the UK CD version, which might be why nobody else has commented no it. It's lovely tho, and an actual upbeat song lyrically. Very romantic.
This song is so beautiful in it's simplicity. The ending is so predictable but it's still really sweet. In that way this song is really great, totally tear jerking!!!
Wow. I always loved this song, but now it means so much more to me.
From the first time I heard the intro of this song, I already fell in love with it
This is such a great song, too bad it wasn't on the USA release. I can listen to it over and over just for the amazing piano and guitar. The intro sounds like this song would have fit great on the Disintregration album, it has that kind of feeling to it. A good song to listen to when you are feeling depressed.
i die 4 this song
I love this song. It reminds me of the Wild Mood Swings b-sides. Somewhere between "Ocean" and "It Used to Be Me".
It sounds almost happy, but it really isn't. To the listener, the narrator "going nowhere" is a relief. It's a good thing. But to the narrator here, it seems as if the only reason he's going nowhere or not leaving is because for some reason he can't. It's too difficult emotionally maybe? Something is preventing him from leaving. I think my interpretation is really sealed in the last lines - "could be I'm already there". I'm already nowhere. He's stuck. Trapped in what could be some sort of hell with the person he's addressing. It's a very tiresome, melancholy and trapped sort of song. Accepting the sort of hell you're in. And from the lines "so tell me that you love me again" and "tell me that you care" it seems that this is someone who is trapped with someone else. Someone that hurt them and the narrator here is wanting desperately to believe that even though this person hurt them greatly, they still love them and still care about them.
This sounds an awful lot like some sort of codependent relationship, which is why I feel it resonates with me so intensely.
