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.
Okay, so you've never done this before and that's cool
And all but I want you to try this with me,
Let's go, don't worry
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
I once used to dream of peace until I found you,
Once upon a time baby,
I once used to dream so sweet until I had a taste of you,
Once upon a time baby,
Reaching out to outer space dancing to awesome sounds,
This all new to you?
Reaching out to hold your close so I don't slip away,
Explore a new approach,
A whole new free I say
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
I know it's easy to imagine,
But it's easier to just do,
See, if you can't do what you imagine,
Then what is imagination to you?
Just a waste of space in your brain,
To take the place of hate,
Or things all the same,
Tell me your secrets
The things that make you tick,
I like it when you talk
Because your voice is angelesque (aye),
I want to kiss you on your space below your navalette
The taste that you keep neat, so moist like a towelette,
This will mark the day our minds and souls will connect,
Let's not forget the sex,
My heart you can collect (now now)
Yeah my heart you can collect (now now)
My heart you can collect (yeah yeah)
Have just one more cap babe babe babe
Have just one more stem babe.
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Pop it, ready, go, let it, take take take take over,
Get ready, pop it, let's go, get ready, le-le-let take it over,
Get ready, pop it, let's go, take it, just let it, take take you over,
Get ready, let's go, let's go, hey
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Soon after falling into a deep but psychedelic state
To escape the prison of our reality
A hero becomes trapped in his own peaceful place
Which immediately becomes his sanctuary,
A place filled with his wildest dreams,
This is his new home.
And all but I want you to try this with me,
Let's go, don't worry
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me

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.
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.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
"I know it's easy to imagine, but it's easier to just do See, if you can't do what you imagine, then what, is imagination to you"
One of the best Cudi lines ever.
Great song.
The song is clearly about doing shrooms with a girl, although he forgets to mention that you should probably wash your mouth out with water and/or have a few altoids before making out with a girl if you just chewed on some mushrooms :P no one wants to taste that haha
