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.
I can remember days
Things weren't always this way
I used to make you smile
If only for a while
But now you can't get through
There's no way I can lose
I know some days are hard
But don't you make mine too
Cause I can't stand it when you come home
And we just fight for hours
But I won't show it
No, I'll just hold my breath and keep it quiet
Every little earthquake
Every little heartbreak, going unheard
Every little landslide
Catch it in my hand
I won't say a word
Every time you hug me
I know that it's working
Making you mine
Every clap of thunder
Only makes me stronger
On the inside
How many countless nights
I try my best to hide
Soon as you slam the door
My tears fall to the floor
I know that people change
Maybe you're not to blame
But must you burn a hole
So deep into my soul
Cause I can't stand it when you come home
And we just fight for hours
But I won't show it
No, I'll just hold my breath and keep it quiet
Every little earthquake
Every little heartbreak going unheard
Every little landslide
Catch it in my hand
I won't say a word
Every time you hug me
I know that it's working
Making you mine
Every clap of thunder
Only makes me stronger
On the inside
Every little earthquake
Every little heartbreak
Every little landslide
Catch it in my hand
Every little earthquake
Every little heartbreak
Every little landslide
Catch it in my hand
Every little earthquake
Every little heartbreak going unheard
Every little landslide
Catch it in my hand
I won't say a word
Every time you hug me
I know that it's working
Making you mine
Every clap of thunder
Only makes me stronger
On the inside
Every little earthquake
Every little heartbreak
Every little landslide
Catch it in my hand
Every little earthquake
Every little heartbreak
Every little landslide
Catch it in my hand
Things weren't always this way
I used to make you smile
If only for a while
But now you can't get through
There's no way I can lose
I know some days are hard
But don't you make mine too
Cause I can't stand it when you come home
And we just fight for hours
But I won't show it
No, I'll just hold my breath and keep it quiet
Every little earthquake
Every little heartbreak, going unheard
Every little landslide
Catch it in my hand
I won't say a word
Every time you hug me
I know that it's working
Making you mine
Every clap of thunder
Only makes me stronger
On the inside
How many countless nights
I try my best to hide
Soon as you slam the door
My tears fall to the floor
I know that people change
Maybe you're not to blame
But must you burn a hole
So deep into my soul
Cause I can't stand it when you come home
And we just fight for hours
But I won't show it
No, I'll just hold my breath and keep it quiet
Every little earthquake
Every little heartbreak going unheard
Every little landslide
Catch it in my hand
I won't say a word
Every time you hug me
I know that it's working
Making you mine
Every clap of thunder
Only makes me stronger
On the inside
Every little earthquake
Every little heartbreak
Every little landslide
Catch it in my hand
Every little earthquake
Every little heartbreak
Every little landslide
Catch it in my hand
Every little earthquake
Every little heartbreak going unheard
Every little landslide
Catch it in my hand
I won't say a word
Every time you hug me
I know that it's working
Making you mine
Every clap of thunder
Only makes me stronger
On the inside
Every little earthquake
Every little heartbreak
Every little landslide
Catch it in my hand
Every little earthquake
Every little heartbreak
Every little landslide
Catch it in my hand

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"
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."

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.
This song has a lot of meaning to me personally. Very obviously a song depicting an very unhealthy relationship. This is what it means, kind of in the context of my own experience which this song helped me through.
[I can remember days Things weren't always this way I used to make you smile If only for a while]
What this says to me is basically that it wasn't always so bad.
[But now you can't get through There's no way I can lose I know some days are hard But don't you make mine too]
Specifically the last 2 lines stick out to me. Mostly because they coincide with my own experience. Almost in that way victims try to rationalize what their abusers do. Kind of like saying "he's just been really stressed out at work lately."
[Cause I can't stand it when you come home And we just fight for hours But I won't show it No, I'll just hold my breath and keep it quiet]
Very simple. The abuser comes home and a fight starts, the victim hates it. But they don't speak up. They don't tell anyone. By their tongue and suck it up.
[Every little earthquake Every little heartbreak, going unheard Every little landslide Catch it in my hand I won't say a word Every time you [hurt] me I know that it's working Making you mine Every clap of thunder Only makes me stronger On the inside]
The first bit is kind of the same as that last verse. Every earthquake, every landslide. Those are the fights. And again, biting their tongue, sucking it up. And in the end all those fights are making the victim stronger. Eventually the victim will (hopefully) find the strength to get out of the relationship
