Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Come on with me through ruined lipglock
Across Tangian deserts, we'll flock
Madcap Medusa, flank my foghorn
We'll change four seasons with our first born
All ships of sense on hyper ocean
All kites of chaos, still in motion
My culture vulture, such a dab hand
I'll steal you from the year 4000
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love
Your tears leave trails of [Incomprehensible]
Autonoma, the [Incomprehensible]
Most crippled lines that I can't get to
You'd slip through time but I won't let you
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love
Across Tangian deserts, we'll flock
Madcap Medusa, flank my foghorn
We'll change four seasons with our first born
All ships of sense on hyper ocean
All kites of chaos, still in motion
My culture vulture, such a dab hand
I'll steal you from the year 4000
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love
Your tears leave trails of [Incomprehensible]
Autonoma, the [Incomprehensible]
Most crippled lines that I can't get to
You'd slip through time but I won't let you
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
Come with me, come with me, we'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there, oh, oh, my future love
I'll always be there for you, my future love

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.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
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"
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."
Love Song x Science Fiction?
Might have something to do with Thomas Pynchon's novel 'Gravity's Rainbow' but it just as likely hasn't. Has anyone ever read it?
@Grimoire I've read it and I can find no explicit reference to it in these lyrics.

yeah it is to do with that novel. superb song, great band
i love this style and everything about it. i don't think the lyrics mean much though, its more about the sound.
The lyrics aren't very inspiring but the song is class.I love the way the song sounds though amazing!
This song IS referencing the novel. I read in an interview in Playmusic that it has something to do with the trajectory of ejaculate.
this song just makes me want to go out and start partying.
I've got my dancing shoes on!!
It is about ejaculate. Allegedly.
My brother says the lyrics suck. XD Heh, I like them though. This is one of my favourite songs right now.
Love the novel. Thomas Pynchon is a genius. This is a cool song too. :)
