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.
Lemon gin, corn fields plowed under.
Cigarettes, Southern Comfort
with your friends behind the bleachers it’s my first dance.
He’s gonna beat it in the high school gym
It’s almost summer, almost warm enough to swim.
Backyards are waiting.
He’s got your name, he’s got your number
He’s got your name, he’s got your number
The sun sets across the parking lot,
walking cool with your friends.
Before the ready cops even know you’re in the sand.
The night is waiting
Here he comes, you’re a little nervous
Here he comes; well you’re getting up the courage, yeah
The music sucks
But he’s your salvation
Cherry lip gloss, and you’re what he’s tasting yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
You’re in his car getting high
Pair of fuzzy dice by the dashboard light
Super toke, gets smoke in his eyes
Your head is swimming with the anticipation and suddenly,
You’re puking out the door with your pants around your knees
But he’s a nice boy so he drops you on your street.
I can’t believe it
Looks like you blew it
He’s got your name; he’s got your number
He’s driving away; I want to bomb her yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So you stumble home
But you don’t quite make it
You wake up on the lawn
Of your next door neighbor’s
The sun is warm.
It’s almost summer, yeah
Cigarettes, Southern Comfort
with your friends behind the bleachers it’s my first dance.
He’s gonna beat it in the high school gym
It’s almost summer, almost warm enough to swim.
Backyards are waiting.
He’s got your name, he’s got your number
He’s got your name, he’s got your number
The sun sets across the parking lot,
walking cool with your friends.
Before the ready cops even know you’re in the sand.
The night is waiting
Here he comes, you’re a little nervous
Here he comes; well you’re getting up the courage, yeah
The music sucks
But he’s your salvation
Cherry lip gloss, and you’re what he’s tasting yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
You’re in his car getting high
Pair of fuzzy dice by the dashboard light
Super toke, gets smoke in his eyes
Your head is swimming with the anticipation and suddenly,
You’re puking out the door with your pants around your knees
But he’s a nice boy so he drops you on your street.
I can’t believe it
Looks like you blew it
He’s got your name; he’s got your number
He’s driving away; I want to bomb her yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So you stumble home
But you don’t quite make it
You wake up on the lawn
Of your next door neighbor’s
The sun is warm.
It’s almost summer, yeah

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.

lousyveil's lyrics are dead on. i love every verse of this song. it does a great job of showing a scene. its bittersweet and homey. honestly, one of my favorites. ever.
the first version I heard had Jason explaining the story of this song before he sang it. it was so funny
I love this. Especially when he sings "and youre what he's tasting" And the guitar is so so pretty
