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.
If you only knew the pain
The pain I keep inside
The pain that makes me "me"
Then without it who am I
In a room with broken walls
I lay in scene and dreams
I want you to see
I'm cold and white
I'm holding on
I'll try to breath for you
I'm crying out
I'm singing loud
You could be all I need
And I'm losing my will
Just to hold you in
I'm giving up the hope
That you could have been the one
To save me from me
And now our lips will meet
and i'll taste their defeat
I'll give in this once
I'm cold and white
I'm holding on
I'll try to breath for you
I'm crying out
I'm singing loud
You could be all I need
Still I know I'll carry on
Guide me through the life I lost
To find these faults in me...
To find these faults in me
I'm cold and white
I'm holding on
I'll try to breath for you
I'm crying out
I'm singing loud
You could be all I need
I'm cold and white
I'm holding on
I'll try to breath for you
I'm crying out
I'm singing loud
You could be all I need
To save me from me
The pain I keep inside
The pain that makes me "me"
Then without it who am I
In a room with broken walls
I lay in scene and dreams
I want you to see
I'm cold and white
I'm holding on
I'll try to breath for you
I'm crying out
I'm singing loud
You could be all I need
And I'm losing my will
Just to hold you in
I'm giving up the hope
That you could have been the one
To save me from me
And now our lips will meet
and i'll taste their defeat
I'll give in this once
I'm cold and white
I'm holding on
I'll try to breath for you
I'm crying out
I'm singing loud
You could be all I need
Still I know I'll carry on
Guide me through the life I lost
To find these faults in me...
To find these faults in me
I'm cold and white
I'm holding on
I'll try to breath for you
I'm crying out
I'm singing loud
You could be all I need
I'm cold and white
I'm holding on
I'll try to breath for you
I'm crying out
I'm singing loud
You could be all I need
To save me from me

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,
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical
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.
This is definitely one of my favorite Amber Pacific songs.
Mine too. It's catchy and great, the kind you can listen to over and over. I love the chorus. "I'll try to breathe for you" and "You could be all I need" are my favorite lines.
I really like this song but i have no clue what its about...
To me, it's an unrequited love song, or a lost love song. The person who the song is about doesn't want the person who's singing it any more, or they're seriously messing with them. I can relate to this song, and it's one of Amber Pacific's best.
i can relate to this song too. its about two people and one of them really likes the other one and the other one sometimes likes them and sometimes doesn't and its seriously messed. and now the person is starting to give up hope that the other could have been the one to help them through everything else they were going through. "i'm giving up the hope that you could have been the one to save me from me"
for me, i've liked my ex ever since he dumped me and for about 5 months he's liked me (or so everyone else says and he makes it seem like) but nothing ever happend and i was so conviced that something would happen, but at his party all of a sudden he changed his mind and just likes me as a friend. and now he'll probably go back to making fun of me like at the beginning of the year.
so basically the moral of the song is dont get your hopes up too high cause people just suck in general and they'll do all sorts of things to mess with you.
If you only knew the pain, The pain I keep inside, The pain that makes me me, Then without it who am I? In a room with broken walls, And I'll lay a scene and dreams, I want you to see,
thats me in summary. PLEASE SAVE ME FROM ME. some times i just wanna scream that out and intruduce the world to the real me.
Amber Pacific is part of the Take Action Tour which is for suicide prevention and when they came to Richmond they sang it and said it is about suicide.
the pain isn't specific in this, it can be interpreted as anything the person doesn't want people to know. Be it hung up on a ex, or drugs, or being gay, whichever. But whatever it is, the person is on the brink of giving up on life, and then he finds someone who he thinks might be able to get him to forget or stop whatever it is that's keeping him down. But now he's starting to doubt that this new person will actually get him to stop whatever it was. And he's starting to lead back into it.
More insight on "the pain". The way it makes me me. That means that whatever it is effects everything he does. Which i think is pretty cool way of saying it. Be it an ex-girl who he can't meet a new girl. Or alcohol or drugs, making him have to have it. Or being gay, having to fake when the boys are at it. But if you lost that that, what would you be? Since it has become you, yet no one knows it.
