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.
You're just the blood in my hand
You mean nothin', man
You're just the blood in my hand
You mean nothin', man, man, man
You're just the blood, blood
I can see the moon and I can see the stars
Even see the world except for where you are
Set fire my page, did you close the book?
Set fire my page with your sideways look
'Cause I hate you but I need you
I need you to let me go
This duet, let's do it
You're just the blood in my hand
This duet, let's do it
You mean nothin', man
It's duet, it's duet
You're just the blood in my hand
It's duet, it's duet
You're just the blood, blood
Just let me go
Like a bull in a china shop, hey
You leave me waitin', waitin' for the chaos to stop
What's wrong with you, there ain't no clue
Can't walk in my shoes when they're stomping on you
'Cause I hate you but I need you
I need you to let me go
This duet, let's do it
You're just the blood in my hand
This duet, let's do it
You mean nothin', man
It's duet, it's duet
You're just the blood in my hand
It's duet, it's duet
You're just the blood, blood
'Cause I hate you but I need you
I need you to let me go
'Cause I hate you but I need you
I need you to let me go, go
It's duet, it's duet
It's duet, let's do it
Every time you speak to me
Your words drenched in hypocrisy
And every time you look down on me
I feel no worth in what you see
And I feel no worth in what you need
And I feel no worth in what you see
This duet, let's do it
You're just the blood in my hand
This duet, let's do it
You mean nothin', man
It's duet, it's duet
You're just the blood in my hand
It's duet, it's duet
You're just the blood, blood
'Cause I hate you but I need you
I need you to let me go
'Cause I hate you but I need you
I need you to let me go, go
It's duet, it's duet
It's duet, it's duet
It's duet, it's duet
You're just the blood in my hand
It's duet, it's duet
It's duet, it's duet
It's duet, it's duet
You mean nothin', man
Ah, I need another drink
You mean nothin', man
You're just the blood in my hand
You mean nothin', man, man, man
You're just the blood, blood
I can see the moon and I can see the stars
Even see the world except for where you are
Set fire my page, did you close the book?
Set fire my page with your sideways look
'Cause I hate you but I need you
I need you to let me go
This duet, let's do it
You're just the blood in my hand
This duet, let's do it
You mean nothin', man
It's duet, it's duet
You're just the blood in my hand
It's duet, it's duet
You're just the blood, blood
Just let me go
Like a bull in a china shop, hey
You leave me waitin', waitin' for the chaos to stop
What's wrong with you, there ain't no clue
Can't walk in my shoes when they're stomping on you
'Cause I hate you but I need you
I need you to let me go
This duet, let's do it
You're just the blood in my hand
This duet, let's do it
You mean nothin', man
It's duet, it's duet
You're just the blood in my hand
It's duet, it's duet
You're just the blood, blood
'Cause I hate you but I need you
I need you to let me go
'Cause I hate you but I need you
I need you to let me go, go
It's duet, it's duet
It's duet, let's do it
Every time you speak to me
Your words drenched in hypocrisy
And every time you look down on me
I feel no worth in what you see
And I feel no worth in what you need
And I feel no worth in what you see
This duet, let's do it
You're just the blood in my hand
This duet, let's do it

'Cause I hate you but I need you
I need you to let me go, go
It's duet, it's duet
It's duet, it's duet
It's duet, it's duet
You're just the blood in my hand
It's duet, it's duet
It's duet, it's duet
It's duet, it's duet
You mean nothin', man
Ah, I need another drink

Fast Car

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I think this song means duet as in a fight. Saying that the person is insignificant and it doesn't matter that they judged him without giving him a chance.
He needs this person, but he hates them, and he hates that he needs them. He feels desperate but still full of hatred.
