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.
On your feet, who's with me

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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
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.
nobody has commented??? Wow. So sad...
I know the support for the soldiers is great and it is even better that they are performing for them but it is hard to get to pumped up for I song that supports a war I dont believe in...
"You can hate the war, but love the American Warrrior"
Support the Soliders!
It's not supporting war, thepeephater, it's supporting the soldiers, and their willingness to risk their lives to protect the United States.
I love the fact that DP had the balls to go over to Iraq for our soldiers. It just shows how awesome of a band they are. You dont have to support the war, but support our troops wherever they go! -Semper Fidelis-
It's obvious the song is a tribute to our american troops. Your lyrics are wrong though:
On your feet, who's with me? On your feet, who's with me?
One world, made better Aim straight, heart center There is no compromise Your pain, your worth, your sacrifice On your feet, who's with me? On your feet, let's go
Every time I see inside you, I see myself within you Let's go
(Ooh, yeah) This is for the soldiers (Ooh, yeah) This is for the soldiers (Ooh, yeah) This is for the soldiers All for one, let's go
On your feet, who's with me?
Gut tight, hold steady Bellicose, and ready There is no compromise Your pain, your worth, your sacrifice On your feet, who's with me? On your feet, let's go
Every time I see inside you, I see myself within you Let's go
(Ooh, yeah) This is for the soldiers (Ooh, yeah) This is for the soldiers (Ooh, yeah) This is for the soldiers All for one, incoming
Every time I see inside you, I see myself within you Don't let that fade away
Your pride, inside of me Your honor, inside of me Respect, inside of, inside of me Go
(Ooh, yeah) This is for the soldiers (Ooh, yeah) This is for the soldiers (Ooh, yeah) This is for the soldiers My Soldiers, let's go
(Ooh, yeah) This is for the soldiers (Ooh, yeah) This is for the soldiers (Ooh, yeah) This is for the soldiers All for one, incoming
Every time I see inside you, I see myself within you Don't let that fade away Every time I see inside you, I see myself within you Don't let that fade away
SUPPORT THE TROOPS!! this song freakin rocks
I love this band. They will be performing for the second time in the Camp LeJeune area. I'm all for the troops and what they are doing. We can't be wussies and not defend our country from terrorism. There is no draft, these men and women knew there was a chance for them to go to war...even before there was one. I had lost some friends over there, but they had told me "I'm doing the right thing". So, if you are not proud of your country, stop whinning and go to another country.
Proud Marine Wife
yea man i saw DP at this fucking small town in my state called CAMBRIDGE, MD and dude they blew the fucking roof off the place and when they played this song...EVERYONE WAS LOUDER THAN THE SINGER WITH THE MIC! so after the show i got all the autographs and the Guitarist though did sumthin unbelieveable....HE FILLED OUT THE TICKET INFO!!! name, address, phone number EVERYTHING i was like HOLY SHIT lol good night
We need more songs like this, if it wasn't for our troops we wouldn't have freedom in this country...
