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 are naked
Standing at the other end of this poison arrow.
I am William Tell and you are the girl with the golden apple
You are hungry to be swept off your feet
you wanna do this out in the open
But my aim is often weak
And you fear my shoulders sloping
Your split ends will end up falling anyway
Before the weight of the apple world
Gets to turn them all grey
And your eyes they need
Calming down
Well you are wise
And you are free
To let the apple touch the ground
Or keep it standing tall
Cause this won't hurt at all
You are half asleep
You're half of a girl
And half of a child
Maybe five feet deep
You're as tall as the world
Up to your eyes
And you've been hogging all the sheets
Often balling them up
Even drawing a line
And spending half of your time
Deciding to roll over
When you do
I'll be there with a smile
Expanding far and wide
And I pull you in much closer
In my dreams you are queen of the ball
And sometimes you off my head
Well to me it's a happy ending
For you I'd fall
Cause that wouldn't hurt at all
Not at all
While this woman is sleeping here
I tell her what I can't if I were to wake her
Powerful but hardly will she ever hear the,
The secrets I've saved up
Well you are famous indeed
For all your shyness
Ain't that sweet
Ain't this a fine mess
We're in so deep
I must've got lost in the process
Just let things be easy
And an honest boy you've made me
Because the solice that you gave me
Was proven problems ain't the main thing to fall apart
The archers sloping shoulders
Well any story's tale is tall
Thus reminding love is allegorical
I mean the goal here after all
Is not to hurt at all
Standing at the other end of this poison arrow.
I am William Tell and you are the girl with the golden apple
You are hungry to be swept off your feet
you wanna do this out in the open
But my aim is often weak
And you fear my shoulders sloping
Your split ends will end up falling anyway
Before the weight of the apple world
Gets to turn them all grey
And your eyes they need
Calming down
Well you are wise
And you are free
To let the apple touch the ground
Or keep it standing tall
Cause this won't hurt at all
You are half asleep
You're half of a girl
And half of a child
Maybe five feet deep
You're as tall as the world
Up to your eyes
And you've been hogging all the sheets
Often balling them up
Even drawing a line
And spending half of your time
Deciding to roll over

Expanding far and wide

In my dreams you are queen of the ball

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.

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”
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
