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.
She’s eating this disorder
Starving herself.
‘Cause she’s starving for attention
Like it’s vital to her health
And she cries
Out in lights
If anyone could see me
Could you give me what I need?
She takes her pills and it keeps her alive
She takes these pills to fill her up inside
He's standing on the corner
Holding out his hand
And he’s begging for someone
Anyone to understand
And he cries
Out in lights
If anyone could see me
Could you give me what I need?
If anyone could see me
Could you make my heart not bleed?
(repeat)
You take your pills to fill you up inside
Starving herself.
‘Cause she’s starving for attention
Like it’s vital to her health
And she cries
Out in lights
If anyone could see me
Could you give me what I need?
She takes her pills and it keeps her alive
She takes these pills to fill her up inside
He's standing on the corner
Holding out his hand
And he’s begging for someone
Anyone to understand
And he cries
Out in lights
If anyone could see me
Could you give me what I need?
If anyone could see me
Could you make my heart not bleed?
(repeat)
You take your pills to fill you up inside

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

"If anyone could see me Could you give me what I need?"
my fav part
drug addicted girlfriend maybe?
this song reminds me of my friend..it reminds me of how she pretended she didn't need anybody and nothing was wrong..i hated to see her rot away in a corner like that..
"Eating [this] disorder"? "Starving herself"? Anorexia anyone...?
umm actually it's a song for anyone in genrel, I don't struggle with any of the things that the chacters are in this song, but it touchs me, becase it reassures me that ther IS a God, and that in Him there IS Hope. this is truly an amazing song, NEVERTHELESS can sure write good music! and perform it well to!
i agree with foreverhis888 this song is talkting about how everyone tries to fill their lives with things that they think will satify them but in the end they just end up feeling empty and lost. we look for happiness in the places we shouldn't, we think that a person, material object, a certain look, etc. can fill the whole we have, the emptiness we long to fill but the one and only person who can do that is staring us right in the face. it's god, so why do we still look for these things, why are we running?
