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.
I value you more than you will ever know!
I know I'm not the only one
concerned about where this has gone.
The feelings that we both once shared,
they still exist, they went nowhere.
And you, you know it's true.
For you I am still here!
I'd hate to see it end this way.
It plagues my conscience every day.
And I want nothing more.
All I need lies in you!
Don't say this is the end.
I know I'm not the only one
who wishes we could get along.
Hanging out from 8 to 3,
and never wanting to fall asleep.
I just hope that you
will work with me
to make this right.
We can't just give up.
It's not fair.
This road, it's long.
If it will work with me.
Then I can say
I did not give up.
It's not fair.
You know it's true.
Don't pretend that you don't!
Tomorrow if we don't speak
A piece of my heart you will keep.
And we, we know it's true.
This is harder than I thought!
This can't be how this ends...
This can't be how this ends!
You have me waiting.
(I'm waiting.)
Waiting in suspense.
I just don't want it.
Tell me where you stand.
Quit walking on that fence.
Are you ready now?
(So are you ready?)
We're taking this to slow.
Soon we'll have nothing left to show.
My time is running on
and it isn't slowing down.
Never on my side.
You hate when I'm around.
Show me, show me what you said
is what, what you truly meant.
Don't say that i have to
lose another friend.
This very moment,
nothing else this important!
This very moment,
nothing else is this important!
Show me what you said
is truly what you meant...
I know I'm not the only one
concerned about where this has gone.
The feelings that we both once shared,
they still exist, they went nowhere.
And you, you know it's true.
For you I am still here!
I'd hate to see it end this way.
It plagues my conscience every day.
And I want nothing more.
All I need lies in you!
Don't say this is the end.
I know I'm not the only one
who wishes we could get along.
Hanging out from 8 to 3,
and never wanting to fall asleep.
I just hope that you
will work with me
to make this right.
We can't just give up.

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.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
brilliant song damnit! about a guy; a girl; and him being all sprung on her.
It could also be about two friends trying to rekindle a lost or dying friendship.
i love this song. reminds me of situations i've been in many times. great song
This song describes everything im going through. its also an amazing song.
yeah, i have to agree with ecyay, its about a dying friendship, not so sure about the boy/girl thing. i had an experience like this, my best friend and i were seeing less and less of each other, she doesn't go to my school or anything, and i listened to this song, i coulda swore this was written about me. jk, not really, but i related to it a lot.
I can relate to this so much. So many lost friends. It's unfortunate.
Brilliant song. The Breakdown is pretty intense. I like the dueling Harmonies.
"Don't say that I have to lose another friend."
It's about friendship.
