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.
When the stiff wind blows
the flag don't wiggle
in the party of special things to do
I met the ace of love
she took me to her plantation
for the love without separation
In the party of special things to do
it could happen to me
it could happen to you
I met the ace of love
she said I want you to go
to the party of special things to do
and when you're through
I'll be right here waiting for you
here take these sparks
so my distant cousins can get along with you
watch out for the mirror man
and elixir sue
When I got to the party of special things to do
it wasn't hard to find Elixir Sue
I met all the cards
the wild cards
the one-eye jill
the red queen
she turned her head
you know what I mean
she turned it back and said
"I got a brand new game I want to lay on you"
I met them all
at the party of special things to do
when I was done
I was far from through
I returned to the ace of love
now wouldn't you?
I met them all
the cabal were uniting
the cabal were uniting
It wasn't hard to find liquor at the do
I met all the cards
the wild cards
you know what I mean
then she turned it back and said
"I got a brand new game I think I want to lay on you"
I met elixir sue
at the party of special things to do
it's so special
the flag don't wiggle
in the party of special things to do
I met the ace of love
she took me to her plantation
for the love without separation
In the party of special things to do
it could happen to me
it could happen to you
I met the ace of love
she said I want you to go
to the party of special things to do
and when you're through
I'll be right here waiting for you
here take these sparks
so my distant cousins can get along with you
watch out for the mirror man
and elixir sue
When I got to the party of special things to do
it wasn't hard to find Elixir Sue
I met all the cards
the wild cards
the one-eye jill
the red queen
she turned her head
you know what I mean
she turned it back and said
"I got a brand new game I want to lay on you"
I met them all
at the party of special things to do
when I was done
I was far from through
I returned to the ace of love
now wouldn't you?
I met them all
the cabal were uniting
the cabal were uniting
It wasn't hard to find liquor at the do
I met all the cards
the wild cards
you know what I mean
then she turned it back and said
"I got a brand new game I think I want to lay on you"
I met elixir sue
at the party of special things to do
it's so special

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.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Little Feat
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”
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
