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.
"This one's going out to all my heartbroken thugs"
On the east side
That's where I met my Ramona
"Ok, now, we're going to change the pace"
On the east side
That's where I met my Ramona
"I wanna go to a party"
That's what she said
Lonely, That's what I've been
"Here's my telephone number call me"
East side where the girls are fast
Tight jeans show lots of ass
I love the ladies who got some class
Love you baby til it just don't last
It's all in the past
My ruca got me waitin'
and the truth is I'm debatin'
If I'mma hang around here much longer
Waiting for my heina with a Heineken
Tryna decide if I'mma buy Ramona a Corona
She wants to have this dance
Call me
She also has a friend
Call me
She saw you on the hip hop show
But never thought she'd see you walk through that door
The parties were meant to be crashed like
Her waist was meant to be grabbed
She loves the way that we rap
But I ain't really doing nothing
Just running my track
To a party
A house party
Oh let the people
Just rally round me
And love
She sent a message of love
She said "I love up the way you move,
I love the way you rap"
Ramona please step back
Now she's my ruca
I'm barely waiting for my heina
Rally round, feel the sound
Pulled up to the party like a washed up celebrity
Waiting for the homies to get back from a beer run
Pushed a circle into a square
Shapeshifting like nobody cares
Drunken vandals playing Sublime records
While your ruca always has you waitin'
Hot boxing in a car full of females
Spread the legs in so many ways
She don't care about politics or religion
She just wants to hold you til Armageddon
Well play that song that we both dig
And then make yourself useful and pour me some whiskey
And when you move, please stay in touch with my touch
She moved from Long Beach up to LA
Right now she's selling oranges by the freeway
I wanna know, Ramona am I the only one tell me
And she said "You are the only one,
But the best is Bradley"
"Haha dude did she really say that?"
"Yup"
"Aww don't cry"
"It's cool...she's right"
And now I'm waiting for my ruca
I barely pulled up with my heina
I know tonight I'll be behind her
Don't fuck around with my heina
"See I'm from the West Side but I'd love to travel down to see ya"
On the east side
That's where I met my Ramona
"Ok, now, we're going to change the pace"
On the east side
That's where I met my Ramona
"I wanna go to a party"
That's what she said
Lonely, That's what I've been

Love you baby til it just don't last

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.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
Can't believe nobody's comment on this yet. It's my favorite track offa "Look at All the Love We Found". I think is line is obscenely cute:
I wanna know, Ramona am I the only one tell me And she said "You are the only one, But the best is Bradley"
