He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
I messed up again when I tried
You spend all your money and I
And, oh! By the way.
With all you did nothing has changed
So lie like a waste by the side
As everything just falls apart
'Cause everything just fell apart for me
I cracked my head and broke my
I correct my head and broke my
I cracked my head and broke my heart
And I don't feel the need to go on
I was happier singing along the way
I had things, I need to say
But now its like a swallowed tape
That holds up my face from inside
'As everything just falls apart
'Cause everything just fell apart for me
I cracked my head and broke my
I cracked my head and broke my
I cracked my head and broke my heart
So woe is me
Oh woe is me, yeah
Woe is me
It all fell apart
I cracked my head and broke my
I cracked my head and broke my
I cracked my head and broke my...heart
And the hell of it is what we are
We finish and wish we could start again
Our skin tears away as our memories fade with age
And we don't even know 'til its gone...
But everything just fell apart
'Cause everything just falls apart for me
I cracked my head and broke my
I cracked my head and broke my
I cracked my head and broke my heart
So woe is me
It all falls apart you see
So woe is me
It all fell apart
I cracked my head and broke my
I cracked my head and broke my
I cracked my head and broke my heart
Everything just comes down
It falls around me cause, well
Everything just falls uhhhh
So woe is me
It all falls apart you see
So woe is me
It all fell apart
But I cracked my head and broke my
I cracked my head and broke my
Everything just falls a
You spend all your money and I
And, oh! By the way.
With all you did nothing has changed
So lie like a waste by the side
As everything just falls apart
'Cause everything just fell apart for me
I cracked my head and broke my
I correct my head and broke my
I cracked my head and broke my heart
And I don't feel the need to go on
I was happier singing along the way
I had things, I need to say
But now its like a swallowed tape
That holds up my face from inside
'As everything just falls apart
'Cause everything just fell apart for me
I cracked my head and broke my
I cracked my head and broke my
I cracked my head and broke my heart

Oh woe is me, yeah
Woe is me
It all fell apart

I cracked my head and broke my
I cracked my head and broke my...heart
And the hell of it is what we are

Our skin tears away as our memories fade with age

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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Holiday
Bee Gees

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
i believe the girl he might be talking about came from the song "Shallow" because in that talked about getting a 2nd chance with her and the next time he tried to get it right but messed up again and everything just fell apart completely
Bingo! That is my thought as well. The first verse is a giveaway. <br /> <br /> "And oh! By the way, with all you did nothing has changed, so lie like a waste by the side" <br /> <br /> Now, this doesn't mean that it is DEFINITELY tied to Shallow, but it is possible. <br /> <br /> The song in whole says that he tried to fix the problems in his relationship. The "spend all your money then died" line is where the girl starts speaking (which makes sense, given the next couple lines after it and the explanation I gave earlier in this post). He is broke, and because of that, dead to her (which, again, is where the Shallow connection is for me). <br /> <br /> He cracked his head by thinking he could fix it. He beat his head against the proverbial wall trying to make this relationship work. Because of that, and the hope he had, and for the fact that he feels like he could have done something different somewhere to keep her, he feels like he broke his own heart. Could also be as simple as saying "I made myself vulnerable, she doesn't care about me, and due to this, I am heartbroken."<br /> <br /> "And the hell of it is what we are<br /> We finish and wish we could start again<br /> Our skin tears away as our memories fade with age<br /> And we don't even know 'til its gone...<br /> But everything just fell apart<br /> 'Cause everything just falls apart for me"<br /> <br /> He's reminiscing. He knows who they both are, as individuals, and knowing how they went from being happy to being miserable. They "finish" by breaking up, and wish they could start over again and do some things different. The skin tearing away is metaphorical for aging, as old skin cells die, and that ties to the memories also dying with age (memories fade with age...). The rest of the verse is self-explanatory. <br /> <br /> Awesome song. Honestly, and I saw a comment on another song by Hurt, but I feel like some of the songs are coming true in my own life...it's a bit creepy. Shallow and this one both. I guess knowing J. went through it is helping me some.
