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.
We spread our blankets over the lake
I [Incomprehensible]
I tried to leave but he held my arms
And head in the lake
So I grab on hold to the spider's neck
And ride out of town
?Cause I'm sick and the days are long
I tried and I tried
To squeeze the blue out of the sky
The yellow out of the sun
In that big invisible moment
The kid on my shoulders
With the time we'll make it into sand
Agreed, he took in your hand
Like a rabbit in a human skin coat
He'll dance on the yard
Like a wolf flipping goodbye notes
You'll howl at the sky
So show your cat teeth to the light
And grab into his main vein
I [Incomprehensible]
I tried to leave but he held my arms
And head in the lake
So I grab on hold to the spider's neck
And ride out of town
?Cause I'm sick and the days are long
I tried and I tried
To squeeze the blue out of the sky
The yellow out of the sun
In that big invisible moment
The kid on my shoulders
With the time we'll make it into sand
Agreed, he took in your hand
Like a rabbit in a human skin coat
He'll dance on the yard
Like a wolf flipping goodbye notes
You'll howl at the sky
So show your cat teeth to the light
And grab into his main vein

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.
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
What a lovely song! I'ven't a clue on what it means, however......
i think is about this guy who is confined to a hospital bed and uses his imagination and has these wild daydreams in order to make himself feel less miserable. and at the same time this character is realizing all the stuff he took for granted in the past. he can't wait till he gets better and gets out of there nad be with his loved ones.
It's about drug rehab.
Peeing into a jar represents getting tested.He then tries to leave but this second person he is reffering to (i assume it is his girlfriend) keeps him there.Grabbing onto the spider's neck is a withdrawl hallucination.
I don't know about the squeezing of the blue out of the sky however, nor the rest of the song.
More generally however, this song can be about anyone going through a really rough time in their life, but they have one person that helps them get through it, and stays with them the whole way.
Such lovely instrumentation.
I agree that it's about drug rehab, for the most part. But there are so many recurring themes in Seabear's music - owls, cats, wolves, lakes, arms, etc. It's like a fixation.
I think it's about a terminally ill patient.
The lines: "I tried, and I tried To squeeze the blue out of the sky The yellow out of the sun"
Suggest to me that he is trying to take in as much as possible from life before his ineluctable death.
hm, i think that he's terminally ill, but i don't think that when he says "So I grab on and hold to the spider's neck" he's going out of the hallucination, but getting out of the hospital, so he can live the best of his last moments with his love (he even says that there, the days are long). and it's not necessairly a drug problem, but any health problem.
and in the final verses,
"Like a rabbit in a human skin coat You'll dance on the yard Like a wolf flipping good-bye notes You'll howl at the sky
So show your cat teeth to the lion and grab unto his main vein"
i think he means that the last days were the best, as she's dancing, but that he's dying and saying that it's going to be hard on her, but that she has to put herself together and face it so she can live again.
oh, and a correction. i think this part:
"In that big invisible moment The king on my shoulders With the time we'll make it into sand Agreed into me keeping your hand"
is
"and that big, invisible boulder you keep on the shoulders with the time, we'll make it into sand agreeing you're keeping your hand"
corrections noted. thanks. :)
i kinda want to say its about depression, and someone sticks by his side through it. "Because I'm sick and the days are long" during depression, time doesn't seem to move. "I tried, and I tried to squeeze the blue out of the sky the yellow out of the sun" maybe he was trying really hard to not be depressed, so he tried living to the fullest. And that big invisible boulder you keep on your shoulders with the time we'll make it into sand a grain you'll keep in your hand." maybe she's carrying the weight of his depression and trying to help, and maybe over time it'll go away, but not fully, and they'll always remember that it was there.
but then again some parts don't fit. so maybe not.
I really don't think it's "I peed tight in a jar", I always heard this line as "a bee died in the yard".
I was just going to post the same correction for that line. That's exactly what I hear
I believe that it's a description of an altercation between two people that placed one into a hospital bed... or simply of 'making love' I can't pull out every word hence why I found this site. But, it's all there. I'm afraid I can't post the details it affords me, but use your imagination. And lets just say that the progression and acceleration of the Violin is her feeling the music. I see it as doing a little jumping around from separate points of view and interpret it as being very metaphorical. So I see why people hear different things. But everyone else is no more wrong than I am right. After all thats what a great song is.. A tune to your real drama.
PS I wish I had found Seabear a lot sooner. Very beautiful!
