Standing on the border
Looking out into the great unknown
I can feel my heart beating faster
As I step out on my own
There's a new horizon
And the promise of favorable wind
I'm heading out tonight,
Travelling light
I'm gonna start all over again

And buy a one-way ticket
On a west bound train
See how far I can go
Cause I'm gonna go out
Dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know
I will face the world around me
Knowing that I'm strong enough
To let you go
And I will fall in love again
Because I can

Gonna climb the mountain
And look the eagle in the eye
I won't let fear clip my wings
And tell me how high I can fly
How could I have ever believed
That love had to be so blind
When freedom was waiting, d
Own at the station
All I had to do
Was make up my mind

And buy a one-way ticket
On a west bound train
See how far I can go
Cause I'm gonna go out
Dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know
I will face the world around me
Knowing that I'm strong enough
To let you go
And I will fall in love again
Because I can

Well,
I have walked through the fire
And crawled on my knees
Through the valley
Of the shadow of doubt
Then the truth came shining
Like a light on me
And now I can see my way out

Buy a one-way ticket
On a west bound train
See how far I can go
Cause I'm gonna go out
Dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know

Buy a one-way ticket
On a west bound train
I'm gonna have my breakfast
With some pink champagne
Gonna sail the ocean,
Gonna spread my wings
Gonna climb that mountain,
Gonna do everything

Techno Ted
Audioslave
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.

Holiday
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.

Mountain Song
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."
