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.
The brightest star on a cloudless night,
Some kind of miracle almost in disguise,
If I as sure as God is a monkey's dream,
Ate that mushroom and believe what he see,
The trouble with you is
You always wanna find the fire
Instead of warmng your hands by the fire side
The trouble with you is
You always looking way outside
Oh, why not enjoy yourself by the fire side
Just as the bite of the blade wakes the absent mind
There's time to dream and there's time to open your eyes
She said, just as the warmth of a kiss brings the love alive
Its right by here by the fire where the answers lie
The trouble with you is
You always wanna find the fire
Ohh, when you warmin' your hands by the fire side
The trouble with you is
You always looking for a while (way outside)
Oh why not enjoy yourself by the fire side?
But you said,
Why you always looking, always looking
She said,
Why you always looking, out side
She said..
The trouble with you is
You always looking for the fire
When you warming your hands by the fire side
The trouble with you is
You always looking for a while (way outside)
Oh why not enjoy yourself by the fire side?
The trouble with you
Is you always lookin somewhere else
Oh when what you see right there inside yourself
The trouble with you is
You always looking for a fire
Oh why not enjoy yourself by the fire side?
Oh why not enjoy yourself by the fire side?
She said
Oh and not enjoy yourself sitting by the fire
She said...
The trouble with you...
The trouble with you...
She said
Some kind of miracle almost in disguise,
If I as sure as God is a monkey's dream,
Ate that mushroom and believe what he see,
The trouble with you is
You always wanna find the fire
Instead of warmng your hands by the fire side
The trouble with you is
You always looking way outside
Oh, why not enjoy yourself by the fire side
Just as the bite of the blade wakes the absent mind
There's time to dream and there's time to open your eyes
She said, just as the warmth of a kiss brings the love alive
Its right by here by the fire where the answers lie
The trouble with you is
You always wanna find the fire
Ohh, when you warmin' your hands by the fire side
The trouble with you is
You always looking for a while (way outside)
Oh why not enjoy yourself by the fire side?
But you said,
Why you always looking, always looking
She said,
Why you always looking, out side

Oh why not enjoy yourself by the fire side?
Oh why not enjoy yourself by the fire side?

Oh and not enjoy yourself sitting by the fire

The trouble with you...
The trouble with you...

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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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 is a great new song by DMB off of the bonus disc of Stand Up. I think it's kind of one of Dave's religious songs....but anyways it's a great mellow song that'll make ya think about what you're doing or where you're going..
made me think of where im headed and where those around me seem to be going . . deep yet simple song
lol, I definatly heard this song wrong. I like the way I heard it better though, haha...j/k. When I was listening on the CD I heard:
The brightest star on a cloudless night, Some kind of miracle almost in disguise. In fact your god is a monkey's dream, Ate that mushroom and believed what he see.
lol...so a bit off...either way, its a great song.
I think the lyrics are wrong and it's
"In fact sure as God is a monkey's dream There aint that much room to believe what he see."
in this song dave is asking someone why there are trying to find the fire when its right there. you should take advantage of what you have instead of looking for something else
"If fact sure as god is a monkey's dream Ate that mushroom and believed what he'd seen"
I think the song is about people in general who are always looking for more in life, instead of just enjoying what we have been given..
R.I.P. Roi :(
