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.
Once more, I'll say goodbye to you
Things happen but we don't really know why
If it's supposed to be like this
Why do most of us ignore the chance to miss?
Oh yeah
Torn apart at the seams and my dreams turn to tears
I'm not feeling this situation
Run away, try to find that safe place you can hide
It's the best place to be when you're feeling like
Me (me), yeah (yeah)
All these things I hate revolve around
Me (me), yeah (yeah)
Just back off before I snap
Once more you tell those lies to me
Why can't you just be straight up with honesty? (Honesty, honesty)
When you say those things in my ear
Why do you always tell me what you wanna hear? (Wanna hear, wanna hear)
Oh yeah
Wear your heart on your sleeve, make things hard to believe
I'm not feeling this situation
Run away, try to find that safe place you can hide
It's the best place to be when you're feeling like
Me (me), yeah (yeah)
All these things I hate revolve around
Me (me), yeah (yeah)
Just back off before I snap
And you'll see (see) me (me)
All these things I hate revolve around
Me (me), yeah (yeah)
Just back off before I snap
Torn apart at the seams are my dreams to the tears
I'm not feeling this situation
Run away, try to find that safe place you can hide
It's the best place to be when you're feeling like me
It's the best place to be when you're
Me (me), yeah (yeah)
All these things I hate revolve around
Me (me), yeah (yeah)
Just back off before I snap
And you'll see (see) me (me)
All these things I hate revolve around
Me (me), yeah (yeah)
Just back off before I snap
Things happen but we don't really know why
If it's supposed to be like this
Why do most of us ignore the chance to miss?
Oh yeah
Torn apart at the seams and my dreams turn to tears
I'm not feeling this situation
Run away, try to find that safe place you can hide
It's the best place to be when you're feeling like
Me (me), yeah (yeah)
All these things I hate revolve around
Me (me), yeah (yeah)
Just back off before I snap

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
Magical

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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I think there's a possibility this song is maybe about a relationship breakdown, and either, the self hating, or the feeling of just hating everything around you, related to that. It seems that the person involved is confused about things ('I'm not feeling this situation'), and the other person isn't making things any easier for them ('once more...wanna hear?'). They just feel that they should be left alone, like they can't be trusted to be with people ('just back off before I snap'). It's a really great song!
love this song! 'torn apart at the seams are my dreams to the tears' just an amazing line. whole song is basically about someone forcing you to self hate. maybe a relationship or summat blah love sucks!
this song has a lot of meanings and many beyond what it was originally written about. i see this song as being about relationships and having them go wrong. i see someone that has their own demons that ends up tearing the relationships they are in apart and they hate that but they cannot do anything about it. the relationship starts to go sour and they start lying to each other and saying to each other what they want to hear, telling the other person things in order convince themselves rather than the other person. they find themselves in this situation and say goodbye again and then run away to their safe place where they are single and alone which they hate too. this person wears their heart on their sleeve though and doesn't take long to fall back in love with someone else even though its hard for them to believe that this person is going to be the one. eventually things fall apart and that person isnt what they thought they were and they are running away again. all the problems in the relationship are the same and revolve around this person. this is what this song speaks to me.
ace song i realy liked it
Great song i love it, im not sure but i think the lyrics go "Torn apart at the seams, and my dreams turn to tears" but im not exactly sure
Met these guys at Cambridge...Matt Tuck is the coolest guy ever

You are one lucky fucker for meeting them. You are my idol now.
this was the first Bullet song i heard and it's absolutely amazing! i love their stuff now
yeah the lyric is 'torn apart at the seams and my dreams turn to tears' :( i love this song i think it's one of their best :) i think it's about a relationship fallin apart but have u seen the video it's got a lot of car crashes in it...????
well hasnt anyone seen the video...its about a girl who cant sleep cos she is haunted by her nightmares. Hence the reason why matt sings "torn apart at the seams are my dreams to the tears". Its all about freakin nightmares init.
the video confuses me! but it probably has got something to do with nightmares.....would make sense
