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.
I know my uses
I have my pride
But my heart is still untamed
I learned my lessons
I've conquered death
I go on and I'm unashamed
I'll paint your bones to match my eyes
They're the darkest I have ever seen
Until I'm lucid, I can't be told
I know my voices
They tell me to believe
Another fucking accident out of control
All the attitudes will never change
My imitations are leading the way
I can't accept that I still don't find this strange
In light of my ability to feel denial
I walk away from everything with just a smile
The agony of coming home has gone away
It's everywhere
It's everyone
It's every day
Are you ready for the time of your life
Are you ready for the time of your life
I beg your pardon
I'm out of the way
A new conspiracy has taken my place
So over and over, I smell the decay
Believe what you want to, the cycle stays the same
In light of my ability to undermine
I walk away from apathy, I'm feeling fine
The agony of cynicism beckons me
It's everywhere, it's everyone, it's everything
Are you ready for the time of your life
Are you ready for the time of your life
Are you ready for the time of your life
Are you ready for the time of your life
Let's, pretend, we're not at the end
Pretend, that we have nothing left
Let's, pretend, we're not at the end
Pretend, that we have nothing left
Let's, pretend, we're not at the end
Pretend, that we have nothing left
Let's, pretend, we're not at the end
Pretend, that we have nothing left
Are you ready for the time of your life
Are you ready for the time of your life
Are you ready for the time of your life
Are you ready for the time of your life
Are you ready for the time of your life
Let's, pretend, we're not at the end
Pretend, that we have nothing left
Let's, pretend, we're not at the end
Pretend, that we have nothing left
I have my pride
But my heart is still untamed
I learned my lessons
I've conquered death
I go on and I'm unashamed
I'll paint your bones to match my eyes
They're the darkest I have ever seen
Until I'm lucid, I can't be told
I know my voices
They tell me to believe
Another fucking accident out of control
All the attitudes will never change
My imitations are leading the way
I can't accept that I still don't find this strange
In light of my ability to feel denial
I walk away from everything with just a smile
The agony of coming home has gone away
It's everywhere
It's everyone
It's every day
Are you ready for the time of your life
Are you ready for the time of your life
I beg your pardon
I'm out of the way
A new conspiracy has taken my place
So over and over, I smell the decay
Believe what you want to, the cycle stays the same
In light of my ability to undermine
I walk away from apathy, I'm feeling fine
The agony of cynicism beckons me
It's everywhere, it's everyone, it's everything
Are you ready for the time of your life
Are you ready for the time of your life
Are you ready for the time of your life
Are you ready for the time of your life
Let's, pretend, we're not at the end
Pretend, that we have nothing left
Let's, pretend, we're not at the end
Pretend, that we have nothing left
Let's, pretend, we're not at the end
Pretend, that we have nothing left
Let's, pretend, we're not at the end
Pretend, that we have nothing left
Are you ready for the time of your life
Are you ready for the time of your life
Are you ready for the time of your life
Are you ready for the time of your life
Are you ready for the time of your life
Let's, pretend, we're not at the end
Pretend, that we have nothing left
Let's, pretend, we're not at the end
Pretend, that we have nothing left

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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."

I don't know about the meaning of this song.
I just wanna say that it would awesome if they played this live with the chorus and everything! Can you imagine how cool would it be?
No comments? Really? Well then, I sorta like this song. The beginning isn't much special nor are the instruments but the lyrics are kinda fun, and Taylor has a pretty neat voice during the verses.
No clue as far as meaning goes but for some reason I don't feel like we're looking at anything too profound.
i havent heard the song because i havent found a place to download it!! i cant wait 2 more days til the album comes out in the US!!
it seems again this song is a message to the girl hes writing about in the other songs, gehenna, snuff, i agree nothing too profound but to perhaps her and him. it seems to fit the situation the other lyrics paint a picture of, he walks away from her, with just a smile, it seems a back and forth message, 'i can let you go, or i can take you back' im sure it makes more sense to them.. but it definitely seems like a message to her, somewhat even taunting her.
this song is prety cool. i got the album at 1 am on the day it came out of a website for downloads and its just as good as the cd. this song is a good song its just that theres beter in the cd too.
I think this is my favourite off the album,but can anyone else hear a woman screaming with corey? I may be imagining things but the line "LET’S - PRETEND - WE’RE NOT AT THE END PRETEND - THAT WE HAVE NOTHING LEFT"
It sounds like a woman screaming the line is mixed with coreys voice..I don't know But it's what I am hearing
Hmmmm I don't think that's a shick, I'm pretty sure it's Clown or Chris doing backup there
It also might be turntables.
I mean the last line, when he says "Lets pretend...." basically the end of the song
am i the only one who thinks this song sounds like stone sour?
bearerofgnomes... pardon me if you already knew this but... maybe thats because Corey Taylor's IN Stone Sour and he's brought back some of that influence with him to Slipknot. I've heard a little bit of stone sour in "Dead Memories", "Vendetta", the chorus of "Psychosocial", and "Snuff" Maybe that's just me, though.
