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 can?t laugh to hard I?m on a diet
I?m trying to lose myself
You ought to try it
Just starve for 6 days straight
Oh it?s a riot
Every Sunday night
I binge and I barf cause I carry the scars of an eight-year-old
Who?s mother applied the same rules to a kids body
As her own
I think you?ll leave me soon
Though I?ve no proof of it
But I?ll make it easier for you
By being a little bitch
And this is just the fear
But I think the reason
Why I?m scared you broke is
The only male influence I?ve had
After daddy went and left
Were my mother?s weekend lovers and
Their alcoholic breaths
I?ll tell you what caused it
If you handle the effects (the effects 2x)
Yes I?ll tell you what caused it
If you handle the effects (the effects 2x)
I?ll tell you what caused it
If you handle the effects
Yes I?ll tell you what caused it
If you handle the effects
I can?t laugh to hard I?m on a diet
I?m trying to lose myself
You ought to try it
Just starve for 6 days straight Oh it?s a riot

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.

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.

“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.
Incredible song, can really relate.
"I can't laugh too hard I'm on a diet, I'm trying to lose myself" To me this is about how having a disordered relationship with food and diet takes the joy out of you, and you don't really laugh or just play as much. It's also about trying to run away from yourself or problems in your life, you make food into the biggest problem, but it's really just a distraction.
The 2nd verse makes a lot of sense to me, so many times I've pushed people away, convinced they won't stick around anyways.
I really love how she sings this one, very powerful :)

I think that this is a therapy session. "I'll tell you what caused it if you'll handle the effects." I picture her in a shrinks office, pouring her heart out to try and get a handle on the emotional damage her past has caused. And I think I read somewhere that it was in therapy Maria Mena started writing poems (which eventually became songs) in the first place, so it makes sense.
