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.
Lights out-- shadows bloom
crawling hands slide to me--across a midnight room
i fear my blankets may not be the best
defenses that i could muster
still the cold beyond is like lizard claw
crawling from the hereafter
silent things scream from silent dreams BANG
still the room is still but i'm filled with a cold
I'M TERRIFIED!!!!
I'M TERRIFIED!!!!
I'M TERRIFIED!!!!
I'M TERRIFIED!!!!
pause cold i'm alone
i pick up the phone
but i fear
that it's been disconnected
i don't even check
because i hear a breath
and i know
this is the end of me
i'm going to hell
A silent scream it whispers free from me
my mouth is dry my eyes are wide
i'm statuesque- petrified
the room is BLACK!!!!
my mind is RED
i'm alone in the room
but theres someone in my head
HUNGRY HANDS HAUNT ME IN THE MORROW OF THE NIGHT
I'M THINKING SHAKING BEGGING for a precious nite-light because
I'M TERRIFIED!!!!
I'M TERRIFIED!!!!
I'M TERRIFIED!!!!
I'M TERRIFIED!!!!
what should i do when the nightmares come true
the lampshades have faces and the closets are cruel
gasp and TREMBLE- weep and DROOL
dawns glorious light-- a stale recourse
in the empty cup i'm still seeing stars
well thats all right
it's like i'm already there
seven dawns UP seven moons DOWN
i'll get to sleep some night soon
thats all right
it's like i'm already there
crawling hands slide to me--across a midnight room
i fear my blankets may not be the best
defenses that i could muster
still the cold beyond is like lizard claw
crawling from the hereafter
silent things scream from silent dreams BANG
still the room is still but i'm filled with a cold
I'M TERRIFIED!!!!
I'M TERRIFIED!!!!
I'M TERRIFIED!!!!
I'M TERRIFIED!!!!
pause cold i'm alone
i pick up the phone
but i fear
that it's been disconnected
i don't even check
because i hear a breath
and i know
this is the end of me
i'm going to hell
A silent scream it whispers free from me
my mouth is dry my eyes are wide
i'm statuesque- petrified
the room is BLACK!!!!
my mind is RED
i'm alone in the room
but theres someone in my head
HUNGRY HANDS HAUNT ME IN THE MORROW OF THE NIGHT
I'M THINKING SHAKING BEGGING for a precious nite-light because
I'M TERRIFIED!!!!
I'M TERRIFIED!!!!
I'M TERRIFIED!!!!
I'M TERRIFIED!!!!
what should i do when the nightmares come true
the lampshades have faces and the closets are cruel
gasp and TREMBLE- weep and DROOL
dawns glorious light-- a stale recourse
in the empty cup i'm still seeing stars
well thats all right
it's like i'm already there
seven dawns UP seven moons DOWN
i'll get to sleep some night soon
thats all right
it's like i'm already there

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
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.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
Bee Gees

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Eliano is sadly wrong. While he starts off making sense, he falls apart by stating that terribly stupid thing that everyone says. Birdo, Pol's Voice and Cutsman are NOT songs ABOUT those characters, just like House of Boo is NOT about BOO at all. Any song that HORSE has put out thus far that is named after a character from nintendo is simply using them as a METAPHOR, making a REFERENCE to them. While dean-ial is almsot completely right in everything he said, he needs to stop say that those songs have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with those characters, because that's a bit of an exaggeration. They aren't ABOUT them, but they do reference them.
