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.
take it back to her
to give it a chance
????????
this may or may not be a picture that you recognize
she'll be kept from seeing his face
we lay before you with all the emptiness that eats your life
drop your anchor down, and stay in place
the only way I know to make you
the only way I know to make you
is to let you know that I know
send it back to her
to give it a chance
take it this time
all regrets are scared
the port has a seam ripped wide open
don't hesitate (don't hesitate) to crawl inside
spend all your time in a sound byte
and never learn to live your life
don't be held in a grip
society, intention build up
it will kill you
i confess it was me
i'm crawling backward
what it does to you, is not the news
take it back to her
to give it a chance
take it moment by
awkward moment on stage
this may or may not be a story that you recognize
she'll be kept from seeing his face
we stand before you with all the emptiness that eats your life
drop your anchor down, and stay in place
stay in place
to give it a chance
????????

Van Halen
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.

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."
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
i cant wait for the cd!! this song is awsome!!!
I think it's "Take IT moment by awkward moment...". Makes more sense.
yeah, it for sure does, i changed it. this was a quick listening kinda thing...i heard it about twice before i attempted lyrics...im not listening to it right now, but ive heard it about 20 times now and im sure ill have a few more things that are a bit different.
I love the new album though, for sure a mix of their first 2 cds.
I think it's:
"This may or may not be a picture that you recognize She'll be kept from seeing his face We lay before you all the emptiness that is your life Drop your anchor down, and stay in place"
After hearing it live I think its:
the port has a seam ripped wide open don't hesitate (don't hesitate) to crawl inside DON'T spend all your time in a sound byte YOU'LL never learn to live your life
don't be held in THE grip OF society(anxiety?), intention build up it will kill you i confess it was me i'm crawling backward what it does to you, is not the news
