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.
Blood stained sheets,
What have I gotten myself into this time?
I close my eyes and I believe you.
If I should die I'll never leave you.
I wish that I could walk away
Guilt rests in my hands
I know that it is for the better
I never said that I'd compromise
Between fact or fiction
There's so much better out there
Than you and me
I could end this in seconds
I know it but I don't dare
Another sentence this all could be over
Your words are like weapons why can't you protect me
Blood stained sheets,
What have I gotten myself into this time?
I close my eyes and I believe you.
If I should die I'll never leave you.
I wish that you would walk away
Red still lines your hands
I know that it's still for the better
I never said that I'd stand aside
Between you and the door
There's nothing better out there
Than you and me
I could end this in seconds
I know it but I don't dare
Another sentence this all could be over
Your words are like weapons why can't you protect me
Blood stained sheets,
What have I gotten myself into this time?
I close my eyes and I believe you.
If I should die I'll never leave you.
Blood stained sheets.
It didn't matter when I was calling out your name
I felt the wound grow ever slowly
Closer than you'd ever hold me
Its a work of art
The way this fell apart
Was the design too faded from the start
Or was the artist just too blinded by this
No its common sense I lack the confidence
Still I'll confess all these things to you
Take a look at yourself
And tell me what do you see
I'd take a bullet for you
You'd put a bullet through me
And as I lay on the floor
With this hole in my chest
How will you walk from the truth
With all that blood on your dress
And everything that you want
Is everything that I need
I would have gave it to you
But you'd have take it from me
And every word that you said
It brought me closer to sin
I close my eyes and pretend its all fading
Another sentence this all could be over
Your words are like weapons why can't you protect me
Blood stained sheets,

If I should die I'll never leave you.
Blood stained sheets. (Its a work of art)
It didn't matter when I was calling out your name (the way this fell apart)
I felt the wound grow ever slowly (was the design too faded from the start)

So why wait for this to go your way
What have I gotten myself into this time?
I close my eyes and I believe you.

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/
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.
