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?
Children roam these empty streets
With lust filled eyes and jagged hearts
Narrow frames and crooked teeth
The whole more valuable than each part
And the grasp you have upon this group
Is as fragile as a pile of ash
They know your lies and weakness
With each open hand you bluntly lash
Oh, these soft legged girls
And hard faced boys
They know no God
They have no voice
So what is this I see?
There is nothing but anger
Burning inside of me
Oh, these soft legged girls (do you wish to feel complete?)
And hard faced boys
(Say you want it, you need it) They know no God
They have no voice
We are the sound
We don't belong
So raise up your hands
And sing along
We are the sound
We don't belong
So raise up your hands
And sing along
Girls with fire in their eyes
Boys with will and aim that's true
Living in a jilted world
Contempt spreads just like the flu
So let's all take some solace
In one thing that we all can trust
Adults can be fucked up, too
Sometimes even more than us
Oh, these soft legged girl (do you wish to feel complete?)
And hard faced boys
(Say you want it, you need it) They know no God
They have no voice
We are the sound
We have no voice
We are the sound
We have no voice
We are the sound
We don't belong
So raise up your hands
And sing along
We are the sound
We don't belong
So raise up your hands
And sing along
And sing along
With lust filled eyes and jagged hearts
Narrow frames and crooked teeth
The whole more valuable than each part
And the grasp you have upon this group
Is as fragile as a pile of ash
They know your lies and weakness
With each open hand you bluntly lash
Oh, these soft legged girls
And hard faced boys
They know no God
They have no voice
So what is this I see?
There is nothing but anger
Burning inside of me
Oh, these soft legged girls (do you wish to feel complete?)
And hard faced boys
(Say you want it, you need it) They know no God
They have no voice
We are the sound
We don't belong
So raise up your hands
And sing along
We are the sound
We don't belong
So raise up your hands
And sing along
Girls with fire in their eyes
Boys with will and aim that's true
Living in a jilted world
Contempt spreads just like the flu
So let's all take some solace
In one thing that we all can trust
Adults can be fucked up, too
Sometimes even more than us
Oh, these soft legged girl (do you wish to feel complete?)
And hard faced boys
(Say you want it, you need it) They know no God
They have no voice
We are the sound
We have no voice
We are the sound
We have no voice
We are the sound

So raise up your hands
And sing along
We are the sound
We don't belong
So raise up your hands
And sing along
And sing along

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
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"

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.
although this song is awesome , and thank you for putting the full version up... its not necessary to note who is singing each part of the song.
