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 sit and think about
How you can hit the scene
Take one look inside
Your mirror clear to see
You need to find yourself
As honest as can be
There must be fifty ways to make a record
Now don't get wrapped into
The hype and what they think
This shit ain't rocket science
the scene changes with beats
And now you ask yourself
How you want to be seen
There must be fifty ways to make a record
He's up inside the clubs
They like to lean and rock, oh
Stands around and looks intrigued by what he saw
Now he asks me,
How he can make good songs to reach the top
There must be fifty ways to make a record
fifty ways to make a record
You got talent and
Your soul cannot be bought
He looked and smiled at me
And told me, "Thanks a lot"
See I could use your help
And would you please explain about the fifty ways
It's kind of easy, if you have a open mind
This game is more than spending money and fucking dimes
It's all within your words, some shit that outlives time
There must be fifty ways to make a record
fifty ways to make a record
How you can hit the scene
Take one look inside
Your mirror clear to see
You need to find yourself
As honest as can be
There must be fifty ways to make a record
Now don't get wrapped into
The hype and what they think
This shit ain't rocket science
the scene changes with beats
And now you ask yourself
How you want to be seen
There must be fifty ways to make a record
He's up inside the clubs
They like to lean and rock, oh
Stands around and looks intrigued by what he saw
Now he asks me,
How he can make good songs to reach the top
There must be fifty ways to make a record
fifty ways to make a record
You got talent and
Your soul cannot be bought
He looked and smiled at me
And told me, "Thanks a lot"
See I could use your help
And would you please explain about the fifty ways
It's kind of easy, if you have a open mind
This game is more than spending money and fucking dimes
It's all within your words, some shit that outlives time
There must be fifty ways to make a record
fifty ways to make a record

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
