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.
¿Cómo quieres ser mi amiga
Si por ti daría la vida?
Si confundo tu sonrisa
Por camelo si me miras
Razón y piel
Difícil mezcla
Agua y sed
Serio problema
¿Cómo quieres ser mi amiga
Si por ti me perdería?
Si confundo tus caricias
Por camelo si me mimas
Pasión y ley
Difícil mezcla
Agua y sed
Serio problema
Cuando uno tiene sed
Pero el agua no está cerca
Cuando uno quiere beber
Pero el agua no está cerca
¿Qué hacer?
Tú lo sabes
Conservar
La distancia
Renunciar
A lo natural
Y dejar
Que el agua corra
¿Cómo vas a ser mi amiga
Cuando esta carta recibas
Un mensaje hay entre líneas
¿Cómo quieres ser mi amiga?
Cuando uno tiene sed
Pero el agua no está cerca
Cuando uno quiere beber
Pero el agua no está cerca
Si por ti daría la vida?
Si confundo tu sonrisa
Por camelo si me miras
Razón y piel
Difícil mezcla
Agua y sed
Serio problema
¿Cómo quieres ser mi amiga
Si por ti me perdería?
Si confundo tus caricias
Por camelo si me mimas
Pasión y ley
Difícil mezcla
Agua y sed
Serio problema
Cuando uno tiene sed
Pero el agua no está cerca
Cuando uno quiere beber
Pero el agua no está cerca
¿Qué hacer?
Tú lo sabes
Conservar
La distancia
Renunciar
A lo natural
Y dejar
Que el agua corra
¿Cómo vas a ser mi amiga
Cuando esta carta recibas
Un mensaje hay entre líneas
¿Cómo quieres ser mi amiga?
Cuando uno tiene sed
Pero el agua no está cerca
Cuando uno quiere beber
Pero el agua no está cerca

@[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.

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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Such a profound song.. Temptation is what is killing them.. A friendship is at play here.. Agua y sed, serio problema- Water and thirst, serious problem Pasion y ley, dificil mezcla- Passion and law, such a difficult mixture
Temptation and passion can defeat letting nature take its course..
would you please explain more?
u are right except for the last phrase, he is avoiding her, he is giving up at her, he is denying his natural instinct. "y dejar que el agua corra" - let the water flows, this mean that he is letting her go. beautiful and sad song anyway.
would you please help me understand this song?
Please help me understand this song. It was sent to me by someone I have been flirting with and I am lost. I do not understand Spanish so I found an English translation....but I am still lost. Please hurry : + )
@judithhahne sounds like this person, presumably your friend, is secretly in love with you, but feels that he must repress his feelings afraid that divulging his feelings for you may backfire, causing you to back away.
to falling in love in secret with a friend, the daily agony of having that person within arm’s length but yet unable to reach out. Powerless to do anything but bite your lips every time you see the soft curvature of her lips, or drown in the ocean of her eyes.
In this song, the main character has, arguably, divulged his love to his closest friend. "Còmo quieres ser mi amiga Si por ti darìa la vida," but sadly rejected, and received the most dreaded response: we can still be friends.
"Si confundo tu sonrisa Por camelo si me miras." Confused her good deeds and gestures… her friendship, for love.
"Razòn y piel, difìcil mezcla, Agua y sed, serio problema." the problem of knowing that you must stay away and repress your feelings, and like odysseus, tie yourself to the mast, when you hear her voice, and the irresistible urges of touching her skin. the intense thirst to drink of her nectar and the moisture of her lips.
"Què hacer, tù lo sabes, Conservar la distancia, Renunciar a lo natural, Why dejar que el agua corra." the protagonist asks himself a question, of which he already knows the answer to: he must keep his distance, and quit the intense love that he already, and naturally, feels for his friend.
this song is one of my favorite songs, with deep and profound lyrics, to which many of us out there can relate to.
@xenophon49 This is an amazing insight to this song. Thank you!
