Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
May I do the un-troduction, Cinderella
Shoe, shoe was Cinderella
In this little cellar
We grow like weeds
Cause it’s damp and dark
And we chose to park right here
Oh dear oh dear oh dea-ea-ea-ear
Someone is bound
To notice that we don’t
Blend in no matter how hard
The bartender tries
With our parking skills
And our lullabies
So he lays and lies and lies
Awake
Sayin’ oh man
I’ve got me a cunt back home
And she’s got herself a
Bun in the oven
If you know what I mean
I mean I tried
I tried to keep the whole thing clean
And it never happened on a screen
And it was seen
Never happening by
Millions of people
Oh sometimes you just gotta
Sell your sou-ou-oul
Sometimes you just gotta
Sell your soul
Cinderella
Shoe, shoe
Cinderella, Cinderella
Shoe, shoe
Cindere-eh-eh-ella
Shoe, shoe was Cinderella
In this little cellar
We grow like weeds
Cause it’s damp and dark
And we chose to park right here
Oh dear oh dear oh dea-ea-ea-ear
Someone is bound
To notice that we don’t
Blend in no matter how hard
The bartender tries
With our parking skills
And our lullabies
So he lays and lies and lies
Awake
Sayin’ oh man
I’ve got me a cunt back home
And she’s got herself a
Bun in the oven
If you know what I mean
I mean I tried
I tried to keep the whole thing clean
And it never happened on a screen
And it was seen
Never happening by
Millions of people
Oh sometimes you just gotta
Sell your sou-ou-oul
Sometimes you just gotta
Sell your soul
Cinderella
Shoe, shoe
Cinderella, Cinderella
Shoe, shoe
Cindere-eh-eh-ella

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

@[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.
After running a search for this song (in order to comment on it), it occurs to me that Regina Spektor - Cinderella is the only result. Regina's the only artist to ever make a song called Cinderella? Interresting.
Anyway, are we sure these lyrics are right? it seems like at the beginning Reg sings "she was" in some places, and "shoe" the rest. But i'm no expert.
i love this song. awesome piano, and i'd bet my bottom dollar that the lyrics are deep.... no idea what they mean, though. Is Cinderella the pregnant ahem girlfriend "back home" the bartender is talking about? apparently they were seen making love on tv. (where else has a screen, shown to millions of people?) i get a kind of Braille vibe from the whole unappreciated pregnancy thing.
arrite. that's all i got.
