Old Like You

Captain Ahab

Fuck you mom!
I don't wanna go to school today!
I dont wanna go to church today!
I don't wanna clean my room!

Fuck you mom!
I didn't ask to be your daughter!
We don't have a special bond
I don't even like you!

I wanna stay out all night!
I wanna have boys in my room!
Why don't you buy me a car, mom?
I want a Jetta, mom, CMON!

I don't wanna get old like you
I don't wanna get old like you
I don't wanna get old like you
I don't wanna get old like you

Fuck you mom!
Why don't you let me make your mistakes?
Why don't you let me go to the prom with a guy
who's twice my age?

Fuck you mom!
Don't tell me what to wear!
I wanna get my tongue pierced mom!
It's my own fucking business!

I wanna hang out at the mall
I'll be great with the gutter punk kids
I wanna do anything
That remotely upsets you, Mom!

I don't wanna get old like you
I don't wanna get old like you

I'm not gonna get old like you
I'm not gonna get old like you

I don't wanna get old like you

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.
