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 say you gotta go and find yourself
You say that you're becoming someone else
Don't recognize the face in the mirror
Looking back at you
You say you're leaving
As you look away
I know there's really nothin' left to say
Just know I'm here
Whenever you need me
I'll wait for you
So I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you
Come back to me
Take your time I won't go anywhere
Picture you with the wind in your hair
I'll keep your things right where you left 'em
I'll be here for you
So I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you
Come back to me
And I hope you find everything that you need
I'll be right here waiting to see
You find you
Come back to me
I can't get close if you're not there
I can't get inside if there's no soul to bare
I can't fix you I can't save you
It's something you have to do
So I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you
Come back to me
Come back to me
So I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you
Come back to me
And I hope you find everything that you need
I'll be right here waiting to see
You find you
Come back to me
When you find you come back to me
When you find you come back to me
When you find you come back to me.
You say that you're becoming someone else
Don't recognize the face in the mirror
Looking back at you
You say you're leaving
As you look away
I know there's really nothin' left to say
Just know I'm here
Whenever you need me
I'll wait for you
So I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you
Come back to me
Take your time I won't go anywhere
Picture you with the wind in your hair
I'll keep your things right where you left 'em
I'll be here for you
So I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you
Come back to me
And I hope you find everything that you need
I'll be right here waiting to see
You find you
Come back to me
I can't get close if you're not there
I can't get inside if there's no soul to bare
I can't fix you I can't save you
It's something you have to do
So I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you
Come back to me
Come back to me
So I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you
Come back to me
And I hope you find everything that you need
I'll be right here waiting to see
You find you
Come back to me
When you find you come back to me
When you find you come back to me
When you find you come back to me.

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.
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"
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I have had this song on repeat for the last week. My best friend and I aren't talking, due to her smoking WAY too much pot, and this song is comforting. It's exactly how I feel about the whole thing. When you figure out what's going on in your life, then get back to me.
Gotta love the Cookiemonster!
maybe you should understand your friend, instead of being so quick to jump out of her life. just cause your friend smokes pot doesn't mean shes forcing you to do anything and if she is, you have a voice and can always say No. if anything you should be there for her to keep an example<br /> Seek to understand before you are to quick to judge
Xmandyyyy, <br /> this makes me think of my stoner ex-boyfriend too & i dont think Karma Chameleon is judging or anything. It's pure concern for the other person.<br /> <br /> Plus im sure her friend is in a mess of troubles like my ex boyfriend is.<br /> I'm sure its not about just a little pot.<br /> a little pot doesnt hurt anyone.<br /> but if you start throwiung your life away for it, than its concerning.
Its based off an old saying. my mom says it to me all the time... "When you love someone, let them go. If they return, than they're yours to keep. If not, they were never really yours to have." simple and easy :)
i love david cook. i was a big supporter of him on american idol. this is my favorite song on his cd!
Though David didn't actually write the lyrics to this song, he interprets them in his own personal, unique way each time he sings them. He takes the message and makes the listener believe that he represents the words.
"Come Back to Me" is obviously about a separation...though for how long, it's not certain. One person in the relationship has lost their sense of identity, so they leave, and in these lyrics, their partner is stating their desire and almost desperate need to see them again...
I think this song means: ok, i need to find myself and i'll be gone until i find me. and david is waiting for her until she is back with her regular self. David sets her free and waits and waits. He also mentions he can't do anything unless she's there.
My mom and I have come to the conclusion that this song was written for the sole purpose of David losing his brother. The song lyrics, "When you find you, Come back to me" can be interpreted as, "I'll be here waiting when you get better" I think David desperatley hoped his brother would get better and he is remembering all the good times they had but he knows he isn't coming back.
I think that may be gripping at straws. The songs that make reference to his brotheh (topic wise) are permanent and AC. This song is about letting someone go (romantically) and then hopinh they'll realize what they've had all along.
I think this song is all about a couple that is in love, but one of them feels like they need to explore other options. They just aren't ready for a serious relationship.
Have been playing this song almost nonstop over the last couple of weeks. It is what I hope I can find in love someday. Someone willing to step back and recognize that sometimes you have to let the one you love work through things on their own, but support and love them through their journey.
Question though: I can't get close if you�re not there I can't get inside if there's no soul there I can't face you (this sounds to me, and makes more sense as: I can't fix you) I can't save you It's something you have to do
Anyone else?
You are right, that is the correct words, not whats posted.
lsmalplz, I got the lyrics to this and all of the other songs from this album off of davidcookofficial.com back in November when the album first came out. Someone has pointed out to me that they have since removed the official lyrics from the site, but I got them back in November so I feel fairly certain that they are correct. DCO had that part as
I can't get close if you're not there I can't get inside if there's no soul to bare I can't fix you I can't save you It's something you have to do
Some may argue with these or hear it differently but this is how they first appeared on his official site. And I've seen him in concert three times and this is how I've heard the song every time.
This song plays every time I'm at work. Always does. And I can't help but get upset, cause I feel like this sometimes. I want to leave my boyfriend, and every time we get on that rocky conversation, he always says, "You can go look for yourself. I'll wait right here." It kills me. I love the song, just hate the current situation.
