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.
She's got too many troubles on her mind. her father told her to leave this was too much trauma. For a poor widower's soul.
she was once happy, before she killed him and buried him beneath the sand
God cant save her now she's going to the guillotine
Her soul can now be forever torched but her body will remain here with me...
So I guess you can say I love a corpse but thats just insane
I awoke last night to hear the screaming of a child but it wasn't mine. I doubt this fairytale will put me back to sleep, but what the hell...
I opened the bathroom door and there on the floor wrapped in towels was a small child
so they say she was bearing a child when she was put to death but now my imagination is going too far.
So I went to a man in white to ask for help.
He said move to the south to find redemption, why the south I don't know but you must trust me...Then the man in white fell to his knees...
To my former self this is my scrapbook
I'll paint my walls you'll see me there
I've seen a masterpiece covered in blood
he's a ghost a broken dream, access my mind make me a believer, 'cause the four-horsemen of the apocalypse are coming and they are not bringing flowers
keep me awake, you'll find we have something in common
yes sir
she was once happy, before she killed him and buried him beneath the sand
God cant save her now she's going to the guillotine
Her soul can now be forever torched but her body will remain here with me...
So I guess you can say I love a corpse but thats just insane
I awoke last night to hear the screaming of a child but it wasn't mine. I doubt this fairytale will put me back to sleep, but what the hell...
I opened the bathroom door and there on the floor wrapped in towels was a small child
so they say she was bearing a child when she was put to death but now my imagination is going too far.
So I went to a man in white to ask for help.
He said move to the south to find redemption, why the south I don't know but you must trust me...Then the man in white fell to his knees...
To my former self this is my scrapbook
I'll paint my walls you'll see me there
I've seen a masterpiece covered in blood
he's a ghost a broken dream, access my mind make me a believer, 'cause the four-horsemen of the apocalypse are coming and they are not bringing flowers
keep me awake, you'll find we have something in common
yes sir

Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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.
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.
one more thing i must add however is the fact that this song is very good and i love the flow.
i listen to it over and over for the line
"God cant save her now she's going to the guillotine"
