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'm not gonna to patronise ya
But trying to write down why I like ya
It doesn't make it any better
To just steal kind words off Phil Spector
And I know all these tired cliches
But I don't know which cliche to say
Because cliches don't have any impact
So I guess I will be matter-of-fact
'Cause it's so good to know ya
That I just don't know how to show ya
I love you, you know that
Don't you?
I love you
I'm so sorry that I'm losing
When other boys would leave you swooning
When I finally get my words together
I choke and they are gone forever
But words are words and they mean nothing
Surely I love you counts for something!
So let's be hasty, and let's be reckless
Just being with you leaves me breathless
'Cause it's so good to know ya
That I just don't know how to show ya
I love you, you know that
Don't you?
I love you
I love you, you know that
Don't you?
I love you
It's so good to know ya
That I just don't know how to show ya
I love you, you know that
Don't you?
I love you
I love you, you know that
Don't you?
I love you
But trying to write down why I like ya
It doesn't make it any better
To just steal kind words off Phil Spector
And I know all these tired cliches
But I don't know which cliche to say
Because cliches don't have any impact
So I guess I will be matter-of-fact
'Cause it's so good to know ya
That I just don't know how to show ya
I love you, you know that
Don't you?
I love you
I'm so sorry that I'm losing
When other boys would leave you swooning
When I finally get my words together
I choke and they are gone forever
But words are words and they mean nothing
Surely I love you counts for something!
So let's be hasty, and let's be reckless
Just being with you leaves me breathless
'Cause it's so good to know ya
That I just don't know how to show ya
I love you, you know that
Don't you?
I love you
I love you, you know that
Don't you?
I love you
It's so good to know ya
That I just don't know how to show ya
I love you, you know that
Don't you?
I love you
I love you, you know that
Don't you?
I love you

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.
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"

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Pretty straight forward, Preston is talking about his inability to write a proper love song, so he can only say I love you to get his point across.
I don't really like The Ordinary Boys, but I think this song is really good, really sweet. Quite simple aswell, which I like.
Why "I Luv U" instead of I Love You
Omigod i think this song is so amazing! Normally i hate the ordinary boys but this has got to be one of the best songs out at the moment! eep! XD
something like em_c, this song is quite unavoidable cute, quite uncomplicated, its a statement and its beautiful.
its quite cheesy but you've got to love it!
I can't believe this is the same band that wrote Week In, Week Out and Over The Counter Culture. What a bunch of sellouts.
So I was wondering if the song isn't just that he doesn't know how to tell her he loves her, or how to write a love song...it's more that he doesn't know how to tell her he loves her without it sounding too impersonal and cliched - hence the lines about tired cliches.
I feel the same about my good lady - I can tell her I love her all day long, but it isn;t anything new and individual. He wants a way of expressing he loves her at such a depper level than he can manage with the standard "I love you like a ....
Although "I Luv U" is absolutely nothing like "Seaside" or other TOB songs, it's still a cute love song. It's one of my favourites... Preston and company really know how to make charming music, if you ask me...
WHAT HAPPENED???
I used to love this band. Seriously, they were fantastic. But now they're churning out this kind of crap I cannot bare to listen to them. A real shame they sold out, a real shame.
