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.
In every film she saw a girl never wanted more
Than some cool boy to love and hold her tight
She wasn't so naive to hope for Keanu Reeves
But still she thought a boy could make things right
How would it feel to hold someone real
To whisper I love you and lean on his shoulder?
How would her heart react to the part
Where he puts his lips close to hers and he holds her
He just holds her?
Melanie, Melanie Melanie lies down to sleep
with a head full of dreams and hatches up schemes
Melanie Melanie Melanie plays make believe
With a heart so enthused if never yet used.
Well Melanie looked cool and soon she had quite a pool
Of hopefuil lovers swooning at her feet
But only one stood out, the boy with the film start pout
Was this the boy to make her life complete?
Then one romantic day he took her hand and led her away
He pushed her down, removed his clothes, and put his body
closer than close
he held her mouth when she tried to scream
it was all so different from in her dream
he never smiled, he never whispered
he bit her hard, but never kissed her
Why does it feel so horribly real
when images of him float back into her mind?
Why does her heart hurt most at the part
when he gets up and disappears with no goodbye, with no goobye?
Melanie Melanie Melanie lies down to sleep
with a head full of dreams, such horrible dreams
Melanie Melanie Melanie plays make believe with a heart so confused
and feeling so used, no love left to lose.
Than some cool boy to love and hold her tight
She wasn't so naive to hope for Keanu Reeves
But still she thought a boy could make things right
How would it feel to hold someone real
To whisper I love you and lean on his shoulder?
How would her heart react to the part
Where he puts his lips close to hers and he holds her
He just holds her?
Melanie, Melanie Melanie lies down to sleep
with a head full of dreams and hatches up schemes
Melanie Melanie Melanie plays make believe
With a heart so enthused if never yet used.
Well Melanie looked cool and soon she had quite a pool
Of hopefuil lovers swooning at her feet
But only one stood out, the boy with the film start pout
Was this the boy to make her life complete?
Then one romantic day he took her hand and led her away
He pushed her down, removed his clothes, and put his body
closer than close
he held her mouth when she tried to scream
it was all so different from in her dream
he never smiled, he never whispered
he bit her hard, but never kissed her
Why does it feel so horribly real
when images of him float back into her mind?
Why does her heart hurt most at the part
when he gets up and disappears with no goodbye, with no goobye?
Melanie Melanie Melanie lies down to sleep
with a head full of dreams, such horrible dreams
Melanie Melanie Melanie plays make believe with a heart so confused
and feeling so used, no love left to lose.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

good keyboard solo though
