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.
Let's talk about the way things were
Let's talk about the way things should be
I think I'm certain
But I'm not so sure
If I'll deliver what's expected of me
Let's make believe we're all OK
You better just pretend
We're doing better
Than we've ever been
I think it's safe to say
That we've forgotten what regrets worth
Cause that's exactly
What a catastrophe is
Ignoring warnings
Thinking kids will be kids will be
A delusion
Kept at a distance
I think it's strange to have to
Fight resistance
We're gonna get it right for the first time
We're gonna get it right
Gonna get it right
We're gonna get it right for the first time
Unmask ourselves
And we'll find
[Chorus]
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
I've given up on acting
Like I'm perfect
I advise you all
To do the same
Perfection's rare
So the last time I checked
We've all been introduced
To feeling ashamed
Let's talk about the way things were
Let's talk about the way things should be
I think I'm certain
But I'm not so sure
If I'll turn my back
As soon as God lets me
Cause that's exactly
What a catastrophe is
Ignoring warnings
Thinking kids will be kids will be
A delusion
Kept at a distance
I think it's strange to have to
Fight resistance
We're gonna get it right for the first time
We're gonna get it right
Gonna get it right
We're gonna get it right for the first time
Cause when we try it alone
Then we find
[Chorus]
(And it's been brought to my attention
That nothing's really worth the mention)
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
(When me and You, subtract the latter
Equals nothing really matters)
You make me sure, in the midst
Of heartbreak and turbulence
That my spirit soars
Only because it's Yours
[Chorus]
(And it's been brought to my attention
That nothings really worth the mention)
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
(When me and You, subtract the latter
Equals nothing really matters)
[Chorus]
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
Let's talk about the way things should be
I think I'm certain
But I'm not so sure
If I'll deliver what's expected of me
Let's make believe we're all OK
You better just pretend
We're doing better
Than we've ever been
I think it's safe to say
That we've forgotten what regrets worth
Cause that's exactly
What a catastrophe is
Ignoring warnings
Thinking kids will be kids will be
A delusion
Kept at a distance
I think it's strange to have to
Fight resistance
We're gonna get it right for the first time
We're gonna get it right
Gonna get it right
We're gonna get it right for the first time
Unmask ourselves
And we'll find
[Chorus]
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
I've given up on acting
Like I'm perfect
I advise you all
To do the same
Perfection's rare
So the last time I checked

Let's talk about the way things should be

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.
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.
I think the whole perpose of this song is saying that no matter what your life consists of in the end it's all about having god in your life.
More people need to know about this song!! It's talking about how God is there every step of the way with us, and we are nothing without Him.
Never heard it before, but it sounds cool. I wanted to be the first post!
they released it on The Birds and the Bee Sides. this song makes me smile. :)
