Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
A coma might feel better than this
Attempting to discover where to begin
You're weighed down, you're full of something
Of sickness, and desertion
You're weighed down, you're full of something
You're underneath it all
So say goodbye to love
And hold your head up high
There's no need to rush
We're all just waiting, waiting to die
Hoping a better place is all I need
With moments of innocence and mystery
Oh, it's the little things you miss
Like waking up all alone
Oh, it's the little things you miss
When you're underneath it all
So say goodbye to love
And hold your head up high
There's no need to rush
We're all just waiting, waiting to die
All your friends seem like enemies
When you're broken down and empty
All your friends seem like enemies
When you're broken down and empty
So say goodbye to love
And hold your head up high
There's no need to rush
We're all just waiting, waiting to die
Attempting to discover where to begin
You're weighed down, you're full of something
Of sickness, and desertion
You're weighed down, you're full of something
You're underneath it all
So say goodbye to love
And hold your head up high
There's no need to rush
We're all just waiting, waiting to die
Hoping a better place is all I need
With moments of innocence and mystery
Oh, it's the little things you miss
Like waking up all alone
Oh, it's the little things you miss
When you're underneath it all
So say goodbye to love
And hold your head up high
There's no need to rush
We're all just waiting, waiting to die
All your friends seem like enemies
When you're broken down and empty
All your friends seem like enemies
When you're broken down and empty
So say goodbye to love
And hold your head up high
There's no need to rush
We're all just waiting, waiting to die

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.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Little Feat
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”
Holiday

@[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 heard this song first with the rest of the album, and this is the first one that really jumped at me. I just loved the sound of it, and then i bothered to look into the lyrics (here at songmeanings.net, of course).
k, just a stab at the possible meaning(s): this is almost about depression. like, from a third person point of view, or sortof examining what happens. the last verse kinda makes me think that, as well as the chorus' "waiting to die" bit.
as for the possible reason/meaning, i agree with the above comment (kudos to honalulu), but just about how people can miss the key beauties of life and just get themselves into a rut, almost like a self fulfilling prophecy. If you say "the world is a depressing place" enough times, you will start to believe that and wind up all "broken down and empty"
