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.
A vision:
your ghost blowing up globes.
Tightening them off with an x-axis-esque see-clamp,
Then setting them down through the clouds
Onto empty department store shelves.
Where they sit facing all sorts of islands
Out toward dead wee-hour isles.
has the earth come loose from its galactic neck beneath you.
Cut off above the clouds
Gone let go from the space surround it
Dropped down done to the sun system's floor
Crooked pearl of the one universe
Cleaved, fell rolling toward a corner of the cosmos
In the blacked and quiet of come time
"and you are all lamb, for this."
spring is at your back again
This time rare with your clarity...
While patches of you thought whole
Had turned up still.
Made a tar of your woe
And flesh there in
have you gone half dead...
yet...yet have you to let the worst most be
As if it were atlas to your world of cope.
and no one is out there scared
You'd set your eyes off one the ceiling all night
In the dark
Think of a song or maybe breasts
Or missing body parts
"without a universal law there is no gravity
Without a gravity there is no atmosphere
Without an atmosphere there is no chance at life
And with no chance at life...i don't exist."

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
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"

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
okay i lising to this song a lot and i think i just figure it out. okay the song call soft atlas meaning soft world in my opion and i think he is talking about a person having a vision and creating world and destroying and is his world he crate a fake wold that he creates sound like he creates it whith objects regular objects
I think it's about sleep at night and how random our thoughts and feelings can be during those times. Sometimes our thoughts get really far out there though, so we try to ground ourselves with familiar things we can actually experience i.e, a song or breasts.
It can all be very existential.
I kinda see it as an end of the world thing.. Going through life day by day never knowing if one night gravity will let go and the earth ill fall on the sun. And how there is a order in the world without it there would be no world.. And the creator of this world can end it at any moment..
good song but have no idea of the meaning but it sure does sound interesting...
you sure are on something here, my friend. i think i understand the kind-of-ness that's on your mind. great call.
