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.
Can you take this broken boy
And put the pieces back as one?
Though he has all of his toys
He is never having fun
Because its not enough
Now we're growing up
We had given up
We're moving on
Because its not enough
We were growing up
We had given up
And I won't hear what you say so
Save your sympathy
Who'd you think you're fooling
Everything is dead
Now you welcome me
To a town called hypocrisy
Save your sympathy
Who'd you think you're fooling
Everything is dead
Now you welcome me
To a town called hypocrisy
A town called hypocrisy
Can you take this lonely girl
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
And pick her up from off the ground?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Cause there's no pride to be found
When you follow sheep around
And no future here
No future for us in this town
Because its not enough
Now we're growing up
We had given up
We're moving on
Because its not enough
We were growing up
We had given up
And I won't hear what you say so
Save your sympathy
Who'd you think you're fooling
Everything is dead
Now you welcome me
To a town called hypocrisy
Save your sympathy
Who'd you think you're fooling
Everything is dead
Now you welcome me
To a town called hypocrisy
La, la, la, la la la la la la la
La, la, la, la la la la la la la
La, la, la, la la la la la la la
La, la, la, la la la la la la la
Because its not enough

We had given up
We're moving on
Because its not enough
We were growing up
We had given up
And I won't hear what you say so
Save your sympathy
Who'd you think you're fooling
Everything is dead
Now you welcome me
To a town called hypocrisy
Save your sympathy
Who'd you think you're fooling
Everything is dead
Now you welcome me
To a town called hypocrisy
And put the pieces back as one?
Though he has all of his toys

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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
i think this song is in response the the critisism the band got for 'selling out' basicly giving the fingers to their critics and saying that thjey are hypocrits, when their critics are hypocrits themselves.
