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.
What are you gonna say
When she picks up the phone
Should you leave a message
When's she not at home
Wanted to know if you'd like
To see a movie or get a drink
It'd be cool just to be in your company
And if she says yes
What might my intentions be
Take this to another phase of chemistry
You gotta lie
You have to tell the truth
You have to explain why this could
Never because
There are things
That cannot be undone
There are mistakes
That will never be forgiven
Sometimes at night
I pray to wake
A different person
In a different place
Maybe we could just be friends
I'm being a bit presumptuous
The stomach churns
The mind starts to race
You notice we start to exaggerate
Well I just wanna be on your way in
God I wanna be healthy
I don't want this problem
Or you wouldn't think
Something like irresponsibility
Would complicate something like
Asking for some company
But there are things
You must accept as said and done
There are truths
You must learn to conform
You can pray all night and day
You'll always make the mistake
In the same place
Drunk mouth ruined it again
Sometimes I say the dumbest things
All but baby it's you specifically
It could be anybody
I gotta get this stuck in my head
Now it's already over
Before it's even started
When she picks up the phone
Should you leave a message
When's she not at home
Wanted to know if you'd like
To see a movie or get a drink
It'd be cool just to be in your company
And if she says yes
What might my intentions be
Take this to another phase of chemistry
You gotta lie
You have to tell the truth
You have to explain why this could
Never because
There are things
That cannot be undone
There are mistakes
That will never be forgiven
Sometimes at night
I pray to wake
A different person
In a different place
Maybe we could just be friends
I'm being a bit presumptuous
The stomach churns
The mind starts to race
You notice we start to exaggerate
Well I just wanna be on your way in
God I wanna be healthy
I don't want this problem
Or you wouldn't think
Something like irresponsibility
Would complicate something like
Asking for some company
But there are things
You must accept as said and done
There are truths
You must learn to conform
You can pray all night and day
You'll always make the mistake
In the same place
Drunk mouth ruined it again
Sometimes I say the dumbest things
All but baby it's you specifically
It could be anybody
I gotta get this stuck in my head
Now it's already over
Before it's even started

Fortnight
Taylor Swift

The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
^^ Where it says "correct lyrics" it should say, "I just want to be young, I want to live."
