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 ain't going nowhere long as he's the driver You can ride with him but he'll never be the same One look at ya tells me that you wanna be taken higher See the problem is you wish he could make you feel the way I do
Why waste time when you know I got it C'mon girl you know you want it You know it's impossible to get what you're looking for From him he can't do it Like me I'm goin' prove it I got a question can you help me out
How many people can do it like me ZERO Keep it so cool like me ZERO Girl you know there ain't nobody nobody Else that can make it so hot like me ZERO Take it to the top like me ZERO Girl you know there ain't nobody nobody ZERO
It ain't a good look without me in your corner You can rock with him but he'll never fill my space One look at him tells me that he ain't the right one for you I don't understand why you settle being here in second place
Why waste time when you know I got it C'mon girl you know you want it You know it's impossible to get what you're looking for From him he can't do it Like me I'm goin' prove it I got a question can you help me out
How many people can do it like me ZERO Keep it so cool like me ZERO Girl you know there ain't nobody nobody Else that can make it so hot like me ZERO Take it to the top like me ZERO Girl you know there ain't nobody nobody ZERO
There's only one guy that can make you feel right that's me, myself and I So why even try to make it work With him only you know I'm the original
How many people can do it like me ZERO Keep it so cool like me ZERO Girl you know there ain't nobody nobody Else that can make it so hot like me ZERO Take it to the top like me ZERO Girl you know there ain't nobody nobody ZERO

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
