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've been trying to shape up
Shape up and raise hell
But it's so hard to wake up
'Cause baby, I ain't well
This is my head exploding from the weight of the thoughts inside
These are my thoughts escaping through the ventilation-shaft
Though my words weight a ton they can hardly ever come out right
This is an emergency call 'cause my head explodes tonight
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my voice signing off
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my heart signing off
I've been trying to catch up
Catch up with the fuzz
But it's so hard to wake up
And even catch the buss
Well this is my concentration leaking out into the drain
These are my lungs breaking down from too many cigarettes
And though my words could save the world, they never come out right
This is an emergency call 'cause I haven't seen the light
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my voice signing off
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my heart signing off
Only cowards need help to get by
Only cowards need friends to survive
This is my head exploding from the weight of the thoughts inside
These are my thoughts escaping through the ventilation-shaft
Though my words weight a ton they can hardly ever come out right
This is an emergency call 'cause my head explodes tonight
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my voice signing off
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my heart signing off
Shape up and raise hell
But it's so hard to wake up
'Cause baby, I ain't well
This is my head exploding from the weight of the thoughts inside
These are my thoughts escaping through the ventilation-shaft
Though my words weight a ton they can hardly ever come out right
This is an emergency call 'cause my head explodes tonight
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my voice signing off
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my heart signing off
I've been trying to catch up
Catch up with the fuzz
But it's so hard to wake up
And even catch the buss
Well this is my concentration leaking out into the drain
These are my lungs breaking down from too many cigarettes
And though my words could save the world, they never come out right
This is an emergency call 'cause I haven't seen the light
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my voice signing off
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my heart signing off
Only cowards need help to get by
Only cowards need friends to survive
This is my head exploding from the weight of the thoughts inside
These are my thoughts escaping through the ventilation-shaft
Though my words weight a ton they can hardly ever come out right
This is an emergency call 'cause my head explodes tonight
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my voice signing off
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my heart signing off

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.
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.
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.
Punchline

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.
Wow, I'm the first to comment for this song ^_^. Well, this was the first song I heard from Disco Ensemble and it got me to listen to other songs from them. Here are a couple of things that I tried to interpret(they might be obvious. Oh Well):
"This is my head exploding from the weight of the thoughts inside These are my thoughts escaping through the ventilation-shaft Though my words weight a ton they can hardly ever come out right This is an emergency call ‘cause my head explodes tonight" ~The two lines starting with "This" and the "These" are saying that he has all these things he could say although he never does, so he is going crazy. Then the line "Though my words...." means that his words has a lot of meaning and they never come out the way he wants it.
"I’m trying to shout But no sound comes out This is my voice signing off I’m trying to shout But no sound comes out This is my heart signing off" ~Again, he wants to say a lot of things, but could never bring himself to and he just shuts off, and has a lot of inner battles with himself(sounds kind of like me).
"Well this is my concentration leaking out into the drain These are my lungs breaking down from too many cigarettes And though my words could save the world, they never come out right This is an emergency call ‘cause I haven’t seen the light" ~Now, his concentration is leaving him and it seems he is slowly dying(probably not physically, but emotionally and socially) and he hasn't found anyone or anything to save him.
"Only cowards need help to get by Only cowards need friends to survive" ~He is also likely to be stubborn or doesn't feel like he needs help from anyone(Although I sometimes follow the first line's mentality, I don't know about the second line). But I'm not too sure on this one though.
Sorry if I completely interpreted this wrong, but this is what the song means to me and I wanted to share it. Even though I don't think that many people will see this. If you say something back that is mean or insulting(unless you're just helping me figure out this or any other of the songs) I will probably just laugh it off or whatever seems more fun at the moment. I'm always looking for a good laugh :).
