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 seen the stars
Here's your troubles ending
A million miles from here
Will they disappear
A galaxy of excuses far away
The frequencies of our little towers
A rusty sound reminding us to pray
Will you tell me if it really matters
So take your bags
But leave your things behind
Cause this is never over
Going undercover
Said you were another
Why don't you just let me down
When you're in your positions
I don't see inhibitions
The time has come to let your demons out
We broke down and we broke up running
Oh my God, our chance has passed away
It's boring down to the changes in our hearts
So take your bags
But leave your things behind
Cause this is never over
So tell me what were you really looking for
Going undercover
Said you were another
Why don't you just let me down
When you're in your positions
I don't see inhibitions
The time has come to let your demons out
Here's your troubles ending
A million miles from here
Will they disappear
A galaxy of excuses far away
The frequencies of our little towers
A rusty sound reminding us to pray
Will you tell me if it really matters
So take your bags
But leave your things behind
Cause this is never over
Going undercover
Said you were another
Why don't you just let me down
When you're in your positions
I don't see inhibitions
The time has come to let your demons out
We broke down and we broke up running
Oh my God, our chance has passed away
It's boring down to the changes in our hearts
So take your bags
But leave your things behind
Cause this is never over
So tell me what were you really looking for
Going undercover
Said you were another
Why don't you just let me down
When you're in your positions
I don't see inhibitions
The time has come to let your demons out

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I figure he's speaking to God with that line. A lot of Christian bands use that line in similar context. Underoath comes to mind off the top of my head.
