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.
Kids, you have to remember that
I'm up here conducting you for a reason, okay?
Watch me, watch my fingers, here we go, ready?
Watch me, one and two and three and ready
Dès le premier jour
Ton parfum enivre, mon amour
C'est dans ces instants
J'aimerais être comme toi par moments
Mais depuis ce jour
Je n'ai qu'un seul, et unique regret
My wing tips waltz across naive wood floors
They creak innocently down the stairs
Drag melody
My percussive feet serve cobweb headaches
As a matching set of marching clocks
The slumbering apparitions
That they've come to wake up
Here I am, composing a burlesque
Out of where they rest their necks
Sunken in their splintered cradles
And ramshackle heads
They ask for it
As a girl, you have set your heart on
Haunting me forever from the start
It's never silent
Ever since we met
I only shoot up with your perfume
It's the only thing that makes me feel as good as you do
Ever since we met
I've got just one regret to live through
And that one regret is you
How does a heart love
If no one has noticed its presence?
And where does it go?
Trembling hands play my heart like a drum
But the beat's gotten lost in the show
You have set your heart on
Haunting me forever from the start
It's never silent
Ever since we met
I only shoot up with your perfume
It's the only thing that makes me feel as good as you do
Ever since we met
I've got just one regret to live through
And I regret never letting you know
Ever since we met
I only shoot up with your perfume
It's the only thing that makes me feel as good as you do
Ever since we met
I've got just one regret to live through
And that one regret is you
Mona Lisa
Pleased to please ya (and that one regret is you)
Mona Lisa
Pleased to please ya (and that one regret is you)
Mona Lisa
Pleased to please ya (I've got just one, ahh)
I'm up here conducting you for a reason, okay?
Watch me, watch my fingers, here we go, ready?
Watch me, one and two and three and ready
Dès le premier jour

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.
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"
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."
Well, they released it under the name of "The Paul Reveere Juimpsuit Apparatus" so I don't really think it's going to be on their next album, but was on the album they discarded, the cabin album...
And as far as the meaning goes, I'll say is part of the story they were creating for the second album, it was a love story of sorts, or as they said "A fairy-tale for adults"
The first verse sounds like an introduction from the narrators "Composing a burlesque, out of where they rest they necks" A burlesque is a theatrical story, commonly a parody. So he is making this story out of other peoples hearts (out of where they rest their necks, necks "rest" in the chest, related to feelings and hearts)
Still working on the rest...
