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.
Listen to your tunes
And the untruth in your voice
You oughta melt me
When you lie
There’s no reason why
And there’s no thong in the dye
And this standing is not so good
But I never really tried
And the earth revolves for nothing
So the tourists had to cry. Try
But can’t decide what put you on
That tricky ride since high school
Try, cry you can’t decide what put you on
That tricky ride since high school
Bring the beers the last parade
Has left the house
They’ll try and hurt you
When they lie
They’re timid like the damned
Only I know where I’ll land
And this standing is not so good
But I never really tried
And the earth revolves for nothing
So my cheerleaders had to
Cry, try but can’t decide what put you on
That tricky ride since high school
Cry, try you can’t decide what put you on
That tricky ride since high school
I’ll sink and go under it
I’ll rise and get over it
I’ll float on a log in the midstream
I found out what that fear was for
And the untruth in your voice
You oughta melt me
When you lie
There’s no reason why
And there’s no thong in the dye
And this standing is not so good
But I never really tried
And the earth revolves for nothing
So the tourists had to cry. Try
But can’t decide what put you on
That tricky ride since high school
Try, cry you can’t decide what put you on
That tricky ride since high school
Bring the beers the last parade
Has left the house
They’ll try and hurt you
When they lie
They’re timid like the damned
Only I know where I’ll land
And this standing is not so good
But I never really tried
And the earth revolves for nothing
So my cheerleaders had to
Cry, try but can’t decide what put you on
That tricky ride since high school
Cry, try you can’t decide what put you on
That tricky ride since high school
I’ll sink and go under it
I’ll rise and get over it
I’ll float on a log in the midstream
I found out what that fear was for

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Those untitled tracks have caused a lot of confusion over the years about the correct tracklisting! I'm 99.9% sure that this is Structo.
