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.
Losing my head to Hollywood
My liver to London
My youth to Tokyo
Still on with the show
On, on, on
On, on, on
It's a hard lesson
But let me learn
L.A.
Big wheels
Turn, turn
All your
Forest fires
Burn
And all my dead
Meat yearns
For the vulture's
Return
Take this
D-d-d-d-d-dead meat
My d-d-d-d-d-dead meat
Your d-d-d-d-d-dead meat
Coming down
Down in Santa Monica
Suicide Motel
One date with the devil
Seven days in hell
Mother don't worry
I say the boy is doing fine
Home in a hurry
And be sane with good
T-t-t-t-time
Time
Hard
Lessons
But let me learn
L.A.
Big wheels
Turn, turn
And all your
Forest fires
Burn
And all my dead
Meat yearns
For the vulture's
Return
Take my
D-d-d-d-d-dead meat
My d-d-d-d-d-dead meat
Your d-d-d-d-d-dead meat
D-d-d-d-d-dead meat
Come on down
Dead meat
Vulture
My liver to London
My youth to Tokyo
Still on with the show
On, on, on
On, on, on
It's a hard lesson
But let me learn
L.A.
Big wheels
Turn, turn
All your
Forest fires
Burn
And all my dead
Meat yearns
For the vulture's
Return
Take this
D-d-d-d-d-dead meat
My d-d-d-d-d-dead meat
Your d-d-d-d-d-dead meat
Coming down
Down in Santa Monica
Suicide Motel
One date with the devil
Seven days in hell
Mother don't worry
I say the boy is doing fine
Home in a hurry
And be sane with good
T-t-t-t-time

Come on down
Dead meat

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.

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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Watching the video makes it seem pretty obvious...
"losing my head to hollywood my liver to london my youth to tokyo still on with the show
on and on and on on"
On tour, PW he went through depression and everywhere he went he felt less and less whole but he was still required to play.
"it's a hard lesson but let me learn..."
S&M big time. He's basically asking for punishment :-P
"and the big wheels turn, turn all your forest fires burn and all my dead meat yearns for the vulture's return
take this d-d-d-d-d-d-dead meat my d-d-d-d-d-d-dead meat your d-d-d-d-d-d-dead meat my d-d-d-d-d-d-dead meat
coming down vulture coming down down down down"
Again S&M but great use of imagery!
"down in santa monica suicide motel one date with the devil (satan) seven days in hell but mother don't worry i said the boy is doing fine home in a hurry i'll be sane with good time"
While on tour PW did experiment with satanic sex acts. This lyric is referencing to one particular occassion in Santa Monica where he temporarily was "demonized" for 7 days. He calms himself down by telling his own mother he's fine and will be sane soon.
Patrick is amazing! This song proves his amazing ability to experiment with all themes of lyrics and music.

Don't know why it posted twice... I only pressed add comment once
Aaah my heavens.
This song is amazing. The video was ... stunning.
yay for this song and battle He came into crowd for these two :D Grabbed my hand during Battle amaze!
it clearly is about some sex experiences he made in l.a. during his tour in the u.s.
in an interview patrick wolf said "vulture collaburation between me and alec empire, alec send some beats and some synth noises. it was triggering this experience i had in l.a." before he ended up in this strange experience he "reached an american version of the all time low i was experiencing in london" before "and again like the moment the song was finished … i could just totally close that book - that time of my life"
his answer to the question what he learned from this experience in l.a. "if you gonna sleep with dogs you gonna have flees — be careful who you end up in bed, kids"
btw first the video seems to be really provocing but when i watched a few times i began to like it. it fits the song
I thought that this was just generally about how whilst touring he was pretty wrecked and that the vulture(s) were people who wanted something for him. Satanic sex acts eh? Wow, I think that's weird on the basis that Patrick isn't at all religious. Still whatever floats his boat.
