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.
We are all we have tonight
WHOA OHHH OHHH
The ones you can't control
Brought together by life's twist
Have only one another to depend upon
Displaced from society, outcast we are
We have nothing to live up to
We are all we've got
HEY! Loud, fast music
HEY! Sweat and dirt
HEY! Songs from a man's soul
HEY! Noise of battle
HEY! Black clouds of smoke
HEY! It's time to lose control
C'MON GET UP NOW
Vengeance with our fist
RIGHT NOW
Screaming in the air
WHOA OHHH OHHH
We are all we have tonight
All these joys and sorrow
I gladly sadly bring
This music's all we've got
The only place I need is drinking here tonight
Together with you all
HEY! Loud, fast music
HEY! Sweat and dirt
HEY! Songs from a man's soul
HEY! Noise of battle
HEY! Black clouds of smoke
HEY! It's time to lose control
C'MON GET UP NOW
Vengeance with our fist
RIGHT NOW
Screaming in the air
WHOA OHHH OHHH We are all we have tonight
NOW - vengeance with our fist
WHOA OH OH - screaming in the air
The only place I need is drinking here with you
WE ARE ALL WE HAVE TONIGHT
This noise is all we've got
So let me hear you sing
WE ARE ALL WE HAVE TONIGHT
HEY! Loud, fast music
HEY! Sweat and dirt
HEY! Songs from our soul
HEY! The only songs we need
WHOA OHHH OHHH
We are all we have tonight
WHOA OHHH OHHH
The ones you can't control
Brought together by life's twist
Have only one another to depend upon
Displaced from society, outcast we are
We have nothing to live up to
We are all we've got
HEY! Loud, fast music
HEY! Sweat and dirt
HEY! Songs from a man's soul
HEY! Noise of battle
HEY! Black clouds of smoke
HEY! It's time to lose control
C'MON GET UP NOW
Vengeance with our fist
RIGHT NOW
Screaming in the air
WHOA OHHH OHHH
We are all we have tonight
All these joys and sorrow
I gladly sadly bring
This music's all we've got
The only place I need is drinking here tonight

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
its about belonging in a group, a very specific one(while in the pit) were everywhere else u are a misfit, an outcast.... i know i feel that way
