its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
McCarren Park when your body gave ground
1 o'clock, June 6, sun out
God hid in amphetamine waves
Margaritas & disposable days
We folded arms & I felt your heart hum
Speedy eyes & I want what I want
The truth, cut with adrenalized fear
Cashed baggies in our ashtray beers
I know you know
I wanna love you but I can't let go
Honey, it never stops
No, it never stops
McCarren Park when the culture crashed down
Copy after copy til the color washed out
I bet the future on an ice cream cone
I kept it secret til I took you home
The day split to two sides
You flipped a quarter, said "I can't decide
Honey, it never stops."
The leaves laughed, the bed burned
I know I want you, but I'm waiting my turn
Honey, it never stops
No, it never stops
McCarren Park when the beauty bled out
20 years in my cottonball mouth
You held my hand, said, "Don't let me drift."
I said, "I'd never even think of it."
And I knew, right there
I could have you but I'd have to share
Honey, it never stops
So we slept, the sun left
I dreamt nothingness in shades of red
Honey, it never stops
No, it never stops
1 o'clock, June 6, sun out
God hid in amphetamine waves
Margaritas & disposable days
We folded arms & I felt your heart hum
Speedy eyes & I want what I want
The truth, cut with adrenalized fear
Cashed baggies in our ashtray beers
I know you know
I wanna love you but I can't let go
Honey, it never stops
No, it never stops
McCarren Park when the culture crashed down
Copy after copy til the color washed out
I bet the future on an ice cream cone
I kept it secret til I took you home
The day split to two sides
You flipped a quarter, said "I can't decide
Honey, it never stops."
The leaves laughed, the bed burned
I know I want you, but I'm waiting my turn
Honey, it never stops
No, it never stops
McCarren Park when the beauty bled out
20 years in my cottonball mouth
You held my hand, said, "Don't let me drift."
I said, "I'd never even think of it."
And I knew, right there
I could have you but I'd have to share
Honey, it never stops
So we slept, the sun left
I dreamt nothingness in shades of red
Honey, it never stops
No, it never stops

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.
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.

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”
The man in the first clip sounds almost exactly ike a man I grew up in a private religious school with; he's the most respected man there and I remember several times when kids could not be controlled by the teachers themselves, he would come straighten us out. When I first heard this song that sample took me from my almost asleep state to massive deja vu...freaked me out a bit!
I said all that just to say that the man in the sample is possibly very similar...a religious man disciplining school-age kids.
