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've got nowhere to hide, and all bullshit aside
You've committed a terrible crime
You've stepped over the line and you'd better be running for your life
Fucked over again, I even called you a friend
A mistake I won't be repeating
I just don't understand how you can even continue to deny
You know why
(You don't remember why)
Don't you pretend that you don't know why
(You fucking parasite)
Because you're living through association that has been getting you high
You sell your soul for just a taste of my life
Now what a surprise, to discover the lies
You'll be telling again in no time
You just don't realize they'll come back and be fucking up your life
In trouble again, I just don't understand
This whole pattern that keeps repeating
You know you'll do it again and admit you can step into the light
You know why
(You don't remember why)
Don't you pretend that you don't know why
(You fucking parasite)
Because you're living through association that has been getting you high
You sell your soul for just a taste of my life
Determination has been running on high
No control, for just a taste of my life
Because your association has been getting you high
You sell your soul for just a taste of my life
Determination has been running on high
No control, for just a taste of my life
For just a taste of my life
You've got nowhere to hide and all bullshit aside
You've committed a terrible crime
You've stepped over the line and you'd better be running for your life
You've committed a terrible crime
You've stepped over the line and you'd better be running for your life
Fucked over again, I even called you a friend

You know why
(You don't remember why)
Don't you pretend that you don't know why

You'll be telling again in no time

In trouble again, I just don't understand

You know you'll do it again and admit you can step into the light

You sell your soul for just a taste of my life
Determination has been running on high
No control, for just a taste of my life
Because your association has been getting you high
You sell your soul for just a taste of my life
Determination has been running on high
No control, for just a taste of my life
For just a taste of my life

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."
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced 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.
This song is pretty self-explanatory like deciever. its about a relationship david with a girl, and she uses him to get things like jewlery, and stuff. and it seems that david has been in this situation more than once hence the line -"In trouble again I just don't understand This whole pattern that keeps repeating."
