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 lied to me,
Say you were wrong,
Like you have too many times.
And I'll believe its not my fault
like I have too much time.
So, hear me now boy, stay alive
Cuz that's the way it should go
Would your maker have opened your eyes, if he preferred them closed?
To feel the weight of summers lost.
I'd love to have you near,
and all the times we ever crossed
It was just to keep you here.
To try to be something you were not, like I have for you and promised to,
I know well get through this and won't let you do it.
So Stop, and make believe that I'm not wrong.
Cuz if I was, we'd all be gone.
Just to feel the weight of summers lost
I'd love to have you here
and all the times we ever crossed
It's just to keep you here
Just to feel the pain of summers lost
I'd love to have you here
and all the times we ever crossed
It was just to keep you here
Nights without end seem to bleed into days. Try to forget that it turned out this way. I wear the mark of the permanent stain. Not accidentally, I cursed gods good name. I am still mortified, yet relieved in a way, that when my days are done we'll be in the same place.
With winters mean brimstone, I set sail for Euphrates, All I can say is its a god
DAMN SHAME!
That we'd feel the pain of summers loss.
I'd love to have new years,
And all the times I've missed my loss
It was just to keep you, just to keep you
Just to keep you here with me, yeah.
Say you were wrong,
Like you have too many times.
And I'll believe its not my fault
like I have too much time.
So, hear me now boy, stay alive
Cuz that's the way it should go
Would your maker have opened your eyes, if he preferred them closed?
To feel the weight of summers lost.
I'd love to have you near,
and all the times we ever crossed
It was just to keep you here.
To try to be something you were not, like I have for you and promised to,
I know well get through this and won't let you do it.
So Stop, and make believe that I'm not wrong.
Cuz if I was, we'd all be gone.
Just to feel the weight of summers lost
I'd love to have you here
and all the times we ever crossed
It's just to keep you here
Just to feel the pain of summers lost
I'd love to have you here
and all the times we ever crossed
It was just to keep you here
Nights without end seem to bleed into days. Try to forget that it turned out this way. I wear the mark of the permanent stain. Not accidentally, I cursed gods good name. I am still mortified, yet relieved in a way, that when my days are done we'll be in the same place.
With winters mean brimstone, I set sail for Euphrates, All I can say is its a god
DAMN SHAME!
That we'd feel the pain of summers loss.
I'd love to have new years,
And all the times I've missed my loss
It was just to keep you, just to keep you
Just to keep you here with me, yeah.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
To me this some seems to be about a past loved one who committed suicide and coincides with House Carpenter on Vol I. "So, hear me now boy, stay alive Cuz thats the way it should go. Would you maker have opened your eyes if he'd preferred them closed?" closed eyes=dead
"I know we'll get through this and wont let you do it. So Stop, and make believe that I'm not wrong Cuz if I was we'd all be gone." meaning things will get better and he can't be wrong or everyone would've killed themselves. "when my days are done well be in the same plane." When he dies they'll meet again. This line is the best. I have felt this way toward someone I've lost as well. "Id love to have new years and all the times I've missed my loss it was just to keep you here" Missing her and remembering her, regardless how painful, is what keeps her memories alive in his mind. If you block out the memories, you'll lose them that much quicker.
