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 am sorry for the bother of repeating
All the things I should believe in...
If I told my story could I use it
To bring the all the end the everything...
The effigy of what I set myself up here to be...
The hollow peace of living, still giving up all I need...
Arrives complete, telling every reason indiscreetly...
Lasting banner years of all the things I wait to see...
Am I wasting all my time
Fighting through this so-called life
Can you tell me now
How do we know just when the fight should end
When I can take the broken, bent,
and shattered hopes and walk away
From this place...
Overcome by all the dangers, in a life less ordinary
Will you know the ones who dare to carry on
With all the changes, fighting to the truth inside of me
And guiding what I need...
The if's and why's of disbelieving everything they teach...
And their advice spoken in the words that never reach...
All the heights of heaven every lesson incomplete
For lasting banner years of all the things I wait to see...
Am I wasting all my time
Fighting through this so-called life
Can you tell me now
How do we know just when the fight should end
When I can take the broken, bent,
and shattered hopes and walk away
From this place...
Do you miss me since I stood and
Walked away to find the reasons why
I'm living every day for that something
That I can't seem to find this time...
But I will be all that I set myself up here to be...
And I will try to see the future through your eyes and keep...
Myself fine, away from all the ones who punish me
For all the little reasons every vision I will keep, but...
Am I wasting all my time
Fighting through this so-called life
Can you tell me now
How do we know just when the fight should end
When I can take the broken, bent,
and shattered hopes and walk away
From this place...
All the things I should believe in...
If I told my story could I use it
To bring the all the end the everything...
The effigy of what I set myself up here to be...
The hollow peace of living, still giving up all I need...
Arrives complete, telling every reason indiscreetly...
Lasting banner years of all the things I wait to see...
Am I wasting all my time
Fighting through this so-called life
Can you tell me now
How do we know just when the fight should end
When I can take the broken, bent,
and shattered hopes and walk away
From this place...
Overcome by all the dangers, in a life less ordinary
Will you know the ones who dare to carry on
With all the changes, fighting to the truth inside of me
And guiding what I need...
The if's and why's of disbelieving everything they teach...
And their advice spoken in the words that never reach...
All the heights of heaven every lesson incomplete
For lasting banner years of all the things I wait to see...
Am I wasting all my time
Fighting through this so-called life
Can you tell me now
How do we know just when the fight should end
When I can take the broken, bent,

and shattered hopes and walk away
From this place...

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.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This is my favorite song of Gavin's. It's also the ringtone on my phone! It's about questioning what you're doing, wondering if it's even worthwhile.
