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.
Take off your gloves and put them down
I'll take you on all by myself
I watch you run till you can't breathe
And then I'll take a little life from you like you did to me
The third straight day
She's done it again
She went and ran her mouth till it was dry and empty
One more shot, the last one failed
Karma is the one that helps me prevail
I can't stand the thought of you alone without me there
I'm alone, I'm alone standing here
My dear, I am a little bit obsessed with knowing about everything
I'll be waiting till the sun comes up
You're home and you're safe again
I took a dive and nearly drowned myself
But there's something about the way that it felt
When you're all alone, about to die real slow
Time to take your life and seperate heaven from hell
The first to fall is the first to bleed
The first to love is the first in need
I can't be wrong, and I can't be right
I swore that I would be ok if you left tonight
I can't stand the thought of you alone without me there
I'm alone, I'm alone standing here
My dear, I am a little bit obsessed with knowing about everything
I'll be waiting till the sun comes up
You're home and you're safe again
My dear, I am trying my best but my best has failed again
I am torn up
This is tearing me apart
I guess it's time for a new start
I can't stand the thought of you alone without me there
I'm alone, I'm alone standing here
My dear, I am a little bit obsessed with knowing about everything
I'll be waiting till the sun comes up
You're home and you're safe again
My dear, I am trying my best but my best has failed again
I am torn up
This is tearing me apart
I guess it's time for you...
To take off your gloves and put them down
I'll take you on all by myself
I'll take you on all by myself
I watch you run till you can't breathe
And then I'll take a little life from you like you did to me
The third straight day
She's done it again
She went and ran her mouth till it was dry and empty
One more shot, the last one failed
Karma is the one that helps me prevail
I can't stand the thought of you alone without me there
I'm alone, I'm alone standing here
My dear, I am a little bit obsessed with knowing about everything
I'll be waiting till the sun comes up
You're home and you're safe again
I took a dive and nearly drowned myself
But there's something about the way that it felt
When you're all alone, about to die real slow
Time to take your life and seperate heaven from hell
The first to fall is the first to bleed
The first to love is the first in need
I can't be wrong, and I can't be right
I swore that I would be ok if you left tonight
I can't stand the thought of you alone without me there
I'm alone, I'm alone standing here
My dear, I am a little bit obsessed with knowing about everything
I'll be waiting till the sun comes up
You're home and you're safe again
My dear, I am trying my best but my best has failed again
I am torn up
This is tearing me apart
I guess it's time for a new start
I can't stand the thought of you alone without me there
I'm alone, I'm alone standing here
My dear, I am a little bit obsessed with knowing about everything
I'll be waiting till the sun comes up
You're home and you're safe again
My dear, I am trying my best but my best has failed again
I am torn up
This is tearing me apart
I guess it's time for you...
To take off your gloves and put them down
I'll take you on all by myself

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue

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.
