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.
Rain loves the flowers for a drop at a time when they collide
Petals love the dirt and make them strong when flowers die
Dirt tries to love everything but it's only dirt
Just because it hurts
Don't mean that it's love
You are the punch line to every joke i've ever told
You are in coffee and everything I've ever loved
You can kiss a million other boys, I don't mind
You can't break what's not real
Just because it hurts
Don't mean that it's love
Petals love the dirt and make them strong when flowers die
Dirt tries to love everything but it's only dirt
Just because it hurts
Don't mean that it's love
You are the punch line to every joke i've ever told
You are in coffee and everything I've ever loved
You can kiss a million other boys, I don't mind
You can't break what's not real
Just because it hurts
Don't mean that it's love

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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."
one of the most amazing songs just the chorus "just because it hurts don't mean that its love" is extravagant the age of rockets has some amazing sounds, deep lyrics from andrew futral, and fantastic potential, so support them
i just love this song and i totally support The Age of Rockets, they need to be discovered by more people, they are just too amazing to be hidden.
stiffy danger--- right on.
Dirt tries to love everything..... but it's only dirt
(:
=D i know they're going to make it bigg.
but anyways about the song
it's so pretty =]
does anybody think they have any insight to the meaning? i have a vague idea.. but not anything exact.
They're so wise. :)
He thought he loved her, but realized he was wrong. I particularly like "You are the punch line to every joke i've ever told". There's usually a certain amount of bitterness I get coming out of a relationship and this sums it up quite concisely.
I love the textures he creates with sound, but some of these lyrics, I hate to admit, are rather weak. "Just because it hurts, don't mean that it's love," for example.
I love this band. His voice is great in this song. I agree that some of these lyrics arent all that great, but in general I think they're good. I disagree that "Just because it hurts, don't mean that it's love" is bad lyrics. I think they're great in this song. I think this band'll be huge someday.
