High life
I was biting the time zone
And we embellished the banks of our bloodstreams
And threw caution to the colorful
Then we fell asleep in the car
Until the bumps woke me up in your grip
And the tide took me to your mouth
And then swept me back down to your palms
It's them that put me inside the reminder
That yours is the only ocean (yours is the only ocean)
That I wanna swing from
Yours is the only ocean
That I wanna hang on
I've got this ego mechanic
She's always trying to give me vitamins
Ah, she'd be frightened of your reflection
I preferred her as a cartoon
If I could be someone else for a week
I'd spend it chasing after you
'Cause she's not shattering my attitude
No matter how she folds the potion
Yours is the only ocean (yours is the only ocean)
That I wanna swing from
Yours is the only ocean
That I want to hang on to
(I'm swinging on)
Yours is the only ocean
Yours is the only ocean
Yours is the only ocean
Yours is the only ocean
Potion approaching, shield your eyes
Potion approaching, visualize
Holding a token, swollen in size
Potion approaching, shield your eyes
Oh, but if we're gonna escape though
We really ought to think it through
Would you like me to build you a go-kart?
And we embellished the banks of our bloodstreams
And threw caution to the colorful
Then we fell asleep in the car
Until the bumps woke me up in your grip
And the tide took me to your mouth
And then swept me back down to your palms
It's them that put me inside the reminder
That yours is the only ocean (yours is the only ocean)
That I wanna swing from
Yours is the only ocean
That I wanna hang on
I've got this ego mechanic
She's always trying to give me vitamins
Ah, she'd be frightened of your reflection
I preferred her as a cartoon
If I could be someone else for a week
I'd spend it chasing after you
'Cause she's not shattering my attitude
No matter how she folds the potion
Yours is the only ocean (yours is the only ocean)
That I wanna swing from
Yours is the only ocean
That I want to hang on to
(I'm swinging on)
Yours is the only ocean
Yours is the only ocean
Yours is the only ocean
Yours is the only ocean
Potion approaching, shield your eyes
Potion approaching, visualize
Holding a token, swollen in size
Potion approaching, shield your eyes
Oh, but if we're gonna escape though
We really ought to think it through
Would you like me to build you a go-kart?

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.
every1 is entitled to their own interpritation, thats the whole fun of art... but my interpritation, as a poet..this is definatly about Sex. I'll explain my views in a bit. i just love this song, i cant listen to it enough, is that bad that i have it b4 its out?
anyways... "I was biting the timezone and we embellished the backs(banks*) of our bloodstreams and threw caution to the colourful" think about it, time slows down when youre about to fuk and biting the timezone means that he was going to endulge in every second he was gonna be sexin her...embelishing the banks=forplay, getting excited(either person) getting the adreniline rush right before fu*king. and taking caution=Condom ;)
"I am a fell asleep in the car until the bumps woke me up in your grip"the already fu*ked and he zonked out, and woke him up for more, "and the tide took me to your mouth And swept me back down to your **Palms its them that put me inside the reminder that yours is the only ocean" trasnlation***** "the way things were going, i got bossed up then, out the mouth, to the hands, to the inside of the 'reminder'(its a vagina ;]) and this is why i only like sexin you"
"ego mechanic"=someone who always gives him compliments(vitamins) secret(he still fcks her) "no matter how she folds the potion" if he could be sum1 else for a week he would try and get the first girl to give him attention n lovin
"Potion approaching, shield your eyes, Potion approaching, visualize, " ---i agree, this is cum, dont get it in your eyes "Holding a token, swollen in size" hmm..what to u do with tokens? you put them in slots! swollen in size...idk...wait yes i do, hes talkin bout his penis.
I love this song, and im helluh juiced that they are coming to Oakland next month!! i already got my tickets =]
one love, J. Temptation (myspace.com/money_mann)
