He certainly did earn that reputation.
Oh it's hard to resist
on a night like this
Impossible to withstand
When you're holding my heart in your hand
You can lay down wherever you please
Under the moon cloud masterpiece
Let our conscience be devoured
by the sweetness of the hour
Lead me down your primrose path
And give me life and take some back
Oh how I love that song
Will you play it again
Pour all your blue tides on
Your several so-called friends
Our love is sweeter than the oblivion
Now I know you got your mind
set on somebody else
I was gonna let you down
I ain't kidding myself
Oh how I paid for past mistakes
How blessed is the flesh that breaks
Now are you wide awake
Just one more time for old times sake
Lead me down your primrose path
And give me life and take some back
Oh how I love that song
Will you sing it again
Pour all your blue tides on
your several so-called friends
Our love is bigger than the oblivion
Amen, amen

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.
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.

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Can't believe nobody's commented this. There are a lot of reminiscent memories of Nick (the singer) and a girl who does not love him anymore. He portrays himself as a fool, and the title of the song shows where he is going (The oblivion) but the lyric "our love is bigger than the oblivion" shows he wants desperately to be back with her instead of in nothingness. Great instrumentals and crooning from nick in this song, it's really one of the most beautiful songs they did in una volta.
