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 saw she was living under some branches
I saw she was happy in her circumstances
I also live under branches
I'd rather not live in these places (in these places)
We won't get married
'Cause she won't have me
She wakes up awfully early these days, these days
And there's no one else so kind
There's no one else to find
It's hard for me but I'm trying
It's hard for me but I'm trying
I saw she was busy gathering wood for a fire
I'd like to help her some
But she replies it's done
We won't get married
'Cause she won't have me
She wakes up awfully early these days, these days
And there's no one else so kind
There's no one else to find
It's hard for me but I'm trying
It's hard for me but I'm trying
It's hard for me but I'm trying (It's hard for me but I'm trying)
It's hard for me but I'm trying (It's hard for me but I'm trying)
It's hard for me but I'm trying (It's hard for me but I'm trying)
It's hard for me but I'm trying (It's hard for me but I'm trying)
It's hard for me but I'm trying (It's hard for me but I'm trying)
It's hard for me but I'm trying (It's hard for me but I'm trying)
It's hard for me but I'm trying (It's hard for me but I'm trying)
It's hard for me but I'm trying (It's hard for me but I'm trying)
It's hard for me but I'm trying (It's hard for me but I'm trying)
It's hard for me but
I saw she was happy in her circumstances
I also live under branches
I'd rather not live in these places (in these places)
We won't get married

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Ahh...this album is so mournful and thought-provoking. I possess the same kind of faith in my opinions as circle_w does, but...
This song just feels like it's speaking of two people who have experienced their own share of pain - "...I also live under branches, I'd rather not live in these places..." - and while the writer now attempts to seek partnership and solace in this kind woman, she seems content to seek it within herself. She struggles with this though, as she "...wakes up awfully early these days..."
The verse that says "I saw she was busy...etc.," evokes images of someone reaching out, only to be told not to bother, they don't need it.
what, no comments?
come on, you can't hear 'we won't get married..' and not be touched in some way?
beautiful song.
i'd like to hear what people have to say about this song.. because i've too little faith in my own (uninformed) opinions, and i really really like this song, esp. the 'we won't get married 'cause she wont have me' line.. i mean, is this song based on a true story, ?
hmm, that's quite a nice take on things, Smarm. your belief that she is content to seek solace within herself perfectly explains why she is happy (living under branches) whereas the narrator is not.
this is -such- a melancholy song.. beautiful, all the same, yet so sad, so desolate.. i really -feel- the narrator's sense of helplessness (even if it is fictional!)
Unrequited love. She is happy with her life but he is unhappy with his because she dosen't love him and he can't see how he could ever love anyone else. It's great to hear bands singing about simple themes in a not too obvious way. Great band, beautiful songs.
It's about love not returned. I didn't like the music to these lyrics at first, but the heroic horns undergirding Tim Smith's "it's hard for me but I'm trying" liturgy is pure musical genius.
