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.
Let me tell you 'bout my big day
The biggest day in my whole life
He was gonna be my husband
And I was gonna be his wife
I couldn't wait to say "I do"
To show him that I care
But when I looked around
That no good wasn't there
He got cold feet, left me in the lurch
Cold feet, standin' in the church
He just ran away, left me holding the bouquet
Het got cold feet
He said he'd never been so happy
It was time to settle down
But next thing that I know
He's moving out of town
I don't know which way he went
I don't know where that man was heading
Well now you know the reason
I always cry at weddings
He got cold feet, man he just moved
Cold feet, took all my money too
He said "I'll see you later", dropped me like a hot potatoe
He got cold feet
(Did a disappearing act!)
He said "Honey I'll be there, right there by your side
When that organ starts to play that song 'Here comes the bride'"
The whole church was singing, man we really rocked the room
The only problem we had, we couldn't find the groom
He got cold feet, egg on my face
Cold feet, never left a trace
Gave mama the phone, spent my honeymoon alone
He got cold feet
Ladies if you plan to marry
Find a man that you can trust
Don't get stuck there at the altar
Or left there in the dust
Listen to these words of wisdom
And your bubble will never burst
A handsome face is one thing
But check out his feet first
And see if he's got cold feet, he left me in the lurch
Cold feet, standin' in the church
He just went away, left me holdin' the bouquet
Het got cold feet
And see if he's got cold feet, man he just flew
Cold feet, he took all my money too
He said "I'll see you later", dropped me like a hot potatoe
He got cold feet, cold feet, cold feet
The biggest day in my whole life
He was gonna be my husband
And I was gonna be his wife
I couldn't wait to say "I do"
To show him that I care
But when I looked around
That no good wasn't there
He got cold feet, left me in the lurch
Cold feet, standin' in the church
He just ran away, left me holding the bouquet
Het got cold feet
He said he'd never been so happy
It was time to settle down
But next thing that I know
He's moving out of town
I don't know which way he went
I don't know where that man was heading
Well now you know the reason
I always cry at weddings
He got cold feet, man he just moved
Cold feet, took all my money too
He said "I'll see you later", dropped me like a hot potatoe
He got cold feet
(Did a disappearing act!)
He said "Honey I'll be there, right there by your side
When that organ starts to play that song 'Here comes the bride'"
The whole church was singing, man we really rocked the room
The only problem we had, we couldn't find the groom
He got cold feet, egg on my face
Cold feet, never left a trace
Gave mama the phone, spent my honeymoon alone

Ladies if you plan to marry

Don't get stuck there at the altar

And see if he's got cold feet, he left me in the lurch

And see if he's got cold feet, man he just flew
Cold feet, he took all my money too
He said "I'll see you later", dropped me like a hot potatoe
He got cold feet, cold feet, cold feet

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"
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

@[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.
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.
