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.
Live my life around a picture
Taken when we met
Spending all of my time chasing your silhouette
For all we go through, I don't want to change you
It's my minds running in reverse trying not to forget
Who we were
Were inside
Here we go (Here we go)
[Chorus:]
'Cause we break
And we burn
And we turn it inside out
To take it back
To the start
And through the rise and falling apart
We discover who we are
Struggling with my thoughts
Change the locks inside my head
Reading between the lines
Of what you say, and what you said
Turn the radio on, to drown me out
Driving through the night to nowhere
Trying to forget
Who we were
Well it's sad
Here we go (Here we Go)
[Chorus]
And it's all
To the wind
It's all
In our heads
It's all to the wind
It's all in our heads
[Chorus]
And We Break
And we burn
and we turn it inside out
To take it back
To the start (To the start)
And through the rise and falling apart
We discover who we are
Taken when we met
Spending all of my time chasing your silhouette
For all we go through, I don't want to change you
It's my minds running in reverse trying not to forget
Who we were
Were inside
Here we go (Here we go)
[Chorus:]
'Cause we break
And we burn
And we turn it inside out
To take it back
To the start
And through the rise and falling apart
We discover who we are
Struggling with my thoughts
Change the locks inside my head
Reading between the lines
Of what you say, and what you said
Turn the radio on, to drown me out
Driving through the night to nowhere
Trying to forget
Who we were
Well it's sad
Here we go (Here we Go)
[Chorus]
And it's all
To the wind
It's all
In our heads
It's all to the wind
It's all in our heads
[Chorus]
And We Break
And we burn
and we turn it inside out
To take it back
To the start (To the start)
And through the rise and falling apart
We discover who we are

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
Mine says "Trying not to forget Who we were Where we're at And here we go"
"I turn the radio on To drown me out"
i think it s a reflective song on memories etc, it seems to indicate that he wanted to keep the initial memories rather than what he though after 'we break bend etc'
that people change and go through things and that we cen understand who we are (and who other people are) throuhg that, whether we like it/dont like it or its good/bad...well it could go either way, the verse seems to put a slightly negative spin on it and despite the chorus about falling apart it seems to be an upbeat and suprisingly positive song
Bless you, coleclark. Whoever submitted the original lyrics really needs to work on their ability to translate music to typing.
Anyway, I feel this is another identity crisis song, but about a couple. The couple goes through so much together, ups and down, good and bad, and through all of that they truly find out who they are. They don't have to resort back to "who they were" to figure out who they really are. They know who they really are after all they've encountered together because those struggles and rises have made them their true character. Wow, if I'm wrong I feel terribly stupid :]
its all good viva, a song is whatever you make of it or how the words relate to a certain part of your life, its pretty much impossible to actually know what the writer was thinking of without them telling you. so you cant be wrong :D
i dont know much history about the band members like whether jasons married or anything, but if we follow your train of thought then is it possible that jason was going through a difficult time that reminded him of the things that pulled his parent apart and this is about going back and fixing it before that happens to him? i really dont know what im talking about, im just throwing things around :P
and this still isnt out in oz! i cant find a release date on the album either...iv managed to find almost all the songs on limewire...but dont worry peoples! when the actual album comes out im def gonna buy it so they get their money!! :D
hey, in answer to myself... :P i just heard 'whatever it takes' for the first time and i think i may have been right in the previous comment, whether its written for him or through someone elses eyes is very hard with jason though...
I think there's three main meanings in this song. The first is about the discovery in relationships, that relationships are a way to realize yourself "we discover who we are". At the same time, it talks about the tumultuous path of relationships, that in times of hurt, people are "Trying to forget Who we were".
The second meaning, i think, is the idea of words being misleading, deceiving, or just simply a bad indication of what one truly feels, as indicated in "Reading in between the lines Of what you say and what you said" What one person really does says, is not necessarily what one person wishes to say, or what one person really does feel.
As for the world silhouette that is brought up numerous times, i think it is an indication that love is intangible, that alot of this are uncertain. "Chasing your silhouette", could mean chasing someone who isn't really there, that the girl will never be quite his, or that he is chasing her shadow, that he is looking and yearning for the past.
Erm, i'm not sure, that's just my interpretation i guess.
What the song says to me is that the way we handle ourselves through the ups and downs of life is who we really are.

OOH! This song has a great beat to it! I think it means how this guys is talking about his girlfriend and his past with her and he wants to get back with her and he's proving to her how much they could mean to each other and how much he needs her. Love this song.
The chorus of this song is just the high or me......Very great upbeat tempo...Nice tune...
