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 want to move in time with you
I want to breathe in rhyme with you
I want to feel the deepest kiss
And I want to know you feel like this
This one time, one time
Let my body do what it feels
This one time one time
Let this fantasy become real
'Cause I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
I want to feel your hand in mine
I want to feel that rush in my spine
I want to wear the scent of you
And do all the things you want me to
So baby this one time, one time
Let my body do what it feels
This one time one time
Let this fantasy become real
'Cause I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
I feel the danger of separation
I want to take your invitation
Separation, it's all around
I need this side of me
I want to move in time with you
And I want to breathe in rhyme with you
I want to stage my glows in sin
And in the dark I want to find that golden glow within
For this one time, one time
Let my body do what it feels
This one time one time
Let this fantasy become real
'Cause I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
No I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
I want to breathe in rhyme with you
I want to feel the deepest kiss
And I want to know you feel like this
This one time, one time
Let my body do what it feels
This one time one time
Let this fantasy become real
'Cause I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
I want to feel your hand in mine
I want to feel that rush in my spine
I want to wear the scent of you
And do all the things you want me to
So baby this one time, one time
Let my body do what it feels
This one time one time
Let this fantasy become real
'Cause I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
I feel the danger of separation
I want to take your invitation
Separation, it's all around
I need this side of me
I want to move in time with you
And I want to breathe in rhyme with you
I want to stage my glows in sin
And in the dark I want to find that golden glow within
For this one time, one time
Let my body do what it feels
This one time one time
Let this fantasy become real
'Cause I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
No I am not afraid to let you see this side of me

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

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"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Oh my god. This is my fav. song ever. Why haven't more people written. This is so clearly about a homosexual relationsship, and actually that's why I write today. I just want to congratulate Darren, I love him so much more for finally telling us all what we allready knew and getting married to the man he loves.
Awesomely sexy song!. This one is an old b-side (included in 'Truly Madly Completely') and sum up the feeling of the early SG stuff. Dark, full of sensuality, dreamlike. In the same style of 'Mine'. Love it!.
I've heard several interesting theories on the meaning of this song. One line in particular, "I want to stitch my clothes in sin and in the dark", has raised a lot of suspicion as to whether or not the song's about a secret extra-marital affair. (Stitch my clothes being a reference to a scarlet letter). Certainly other lines such as "Just one time, one time, let my body do what it feels", "I want to find that door and go within", and "Let this fantasy become real" back up that theory quite nicely.
Also, if I may be frank, one of the first things that came to mind when I heard this song is that it's likely about a very specific sexual act that the lyricist wants to fulfill that his lover refuses him. He's saying he's not afraid to let her see this side of him, a side which may be primal and kinky. He's sort of pleading with his lover in this song to let him fulfill this sexual fantasy of his, but his unspoken lover seems apprehensive and maybe too conservative to indulge him.
To me, the latter seems like the more likely. In the beginning, Darren is being sweet and loving, and then gradually he gets more and more frustrated and pleading, which makes me believe there's something deeply naughty he wants that he ain't getting!
Eirenightshade, I agree with both of your theories. It could be about some kind of affair. But I've ALWAYS thought he was talking about his partner letting him do something that was somehow forbidden. You can feel the urgency, the longing for it. And this naughty-dark-sexual tone was actually a very important factor of the seduction that Savage Garden was about (at least at the beggining - then after TMD and IKILY they started to be seen like familiar-sweet balladists). But this sound is truly delicious for us listeners, you can easily get lost in this confusing-tempting atmosphere.
