High life
I just don't wanna waste another day
I'm tryin' to make things right, but to shove it in my face
And all those things you've done to me I cant erase
And I can't keep this inside
It's time to say goodbye
On the first day that I met you
I should have known to walk away
I should have told you you were crazy
And disappeared without a trace
But instead I stood there waiting
Hoping you would come around
But you always found your way to let me down
[Chorus]
It's time to say goodbye (I just don't want to waste another day)
It's time to say goodbye (cause things won't ever be the same)
It's time to say goodbye (you made me see I need to walk away)
It's time to say goodbye
After all the things I've done for you
You never tried to do the same
It's like you always play the victim
And I'm the one you always blame
When you need someone to save you
When you think you're gonna drown
Cuz if you just wrap your arms around me and pull me down
[Chorus]
Now I'm gone, it's too late
You can't fix your mistakes
I was trying to save you from you
So you scream, so you cry
I can see through your lies
You're just trying to change me
Somewhere in the distance there's a place for me to go
I don't want you to hate me, but I think you need to know
You're weighing on my shoulders, and I'm sick of feeling down
So I guess it's time for me to say goodbye
I'm tryin' to make things right, but to shove it in my face
And all those things you've done to me I cant erase
And I can't keep this inside
It's time to say goodbye
On the first day that I met you
I should have known to walk away
I should have told you you were crazy
And disappeared without a trace
But instead I stood there waiting
Hoping you would come around
But you always found your way to let me down
[Chorus]
It's time to say goodbye (I just don't want to waste another day)
It's time to say goodbye (cause things won't ever be the same)
It's time to say goodbye (you made me see I need to walk away)
It's time to say goodbye
After all the things I've done for you
You never tried to do the same
It's like you always play the victim
And I'm the one you always blame
When you need someone to save you
When you think you're gonna drown
Cuz if you just wrap your arms around me and pull me down
[Chorus]
Now I'm gone, it's too late
You can't fix your mistakes
I was trying to save you from you
So you scream, so you cry
I can see through your lies
You're just trying to change me
Somewhere in the distance there's a place for me to go
I don't want you to hate me, but I think you need to know
You're weighing on my shoulders, and I'm sick of feeling down
So I guess it's time for me to say goodbye

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I listened to this song a lot when I was having a lot of drama/problems with a college roommate just when this cd came out. The chorus reminds me so much of my views on her. And especially these lines: "It's like you always play the victim And I'm the one you always blame"
She has problems with thinking that she can do no wrong and everyone else is at fault. I would listen to this in the car, and thank SP for such a great song for me to vent through
