its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
You sauntered off and you said how’s tricks
You can’t mix drugs with your politics
So we took and talked and lost the plot
And after that everything seemed fine
And as it stings and beautiful collide
We watch each others worlds ride under the tide
With intoxicating hands
Cold cold hearts
And well laid plans
Are you listening
Are you listening
As the days
Like the waves
Pile up behind you
La la la la la
You keep it all
Melt my plastic heart
And help me move on
I’m moving on
How do you escape
The great pails of pouring rain
Go to an island or a house in Spain oh
La la la la la la oh
Oh how we’d kill to go
Erect the gutters and move us in
Life or buildings and medicines
We all make the same mistakes
Our pitfalls pull us together
Are you listening
Are you listening
As the days
Like the waves
Pile up behind you
La la la la la
They keep it all
Melt my plastic heart
And help me move on
Ohh
???
La la la la la
You keep it all
Melt my plastic heart
And help me move on
La la la la la
Keep it on
Friends for life and acquaintances
Romance and great distances
There’s been so many casualties
But I cannot run out over these
Oh no
You can’t mix drugs with your politics
So we took and talked and lost the plot
And after that everything seemed fine
And as it stings and beautiful collide
We watch each others worlds ride under the tide
With intoxicating hands
Cold cold hearts
And well laid plans
Are you listening
Are you listening
As the days
Like the waves
Pile up behind you
La la la la la
You keep it all
Melt my plastic heart
And help me move on
I’m moving on
How do you escape
The great pails of pouring rain
Go to an island or a house in Spain oh
La la la la la la oh
Oh how we’d kill to go
Erect the gutters and move us in
Life or buildings and medicines
We all make the same mistakes
Our pitfalls pull us together
Are you listening
Are you listening
As the days
Like the waves
Pile up behind you
La la la la la
They keep it all
Melt my plastic heart
And help me move on
Ohh
???
La la la la la
You keep it all
Melt my plastic heart
And help me move on
La la la la la
Keep it on
Friends for life and acquaintances
Romance and great distances
There’s been so many casualties
But I cannot run out over these
Oh no

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.

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”

@[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.
i think anthony rossomando wrote this one though, maybe about his life before DPTs?
