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'm flying, and somethings reaching out
Vibrations, can you hear them now
Please help us, were running out of time
My brothers, we are deathly out of line
I feel you, on a far off distant land
We fucked up, lets give ourselves a hand
Its over. From the heavens look down
Our footsteps, gods coming around
Gotta make like a cat theif's caught in the line
Its gotta sound like a gunshot over and over
Ive gotta voice so lost off back in my head
It takes the heart rate up then down even more
Ive got my friends face down like a kid in the dark
They've got the same fear built up more even more
Ive let my eyes bright up like a predator shark
To let my mind close down every hour by hour
Finally I get this feeling were all alone in one big world
Just to realize that all these shapes and colors are so it doesn't hurt so badly
So life doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly, so life doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly
Please don't look at life, look at me so sadly. Life shouldn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly
Do you feel light shine in the darkest of nights, or does the Pain stack up from the skin to the core
Do you find every time that you cover your eyes to keep the tears held up, dripping down even more
Let the words come down, every line in sight and put the young flames up and make you cower and cower
If the sun breaks in instead of sparkin' the sight, I promise you Ill be here to let the light in
Finally I get this feeling were all alone in one big world
Just to realize that all these shapes and colors are so it doesn't hurt so badly
So life doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly, so life doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly
Please don't look at life, look at me so sadly. Life shouldn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly
I'm flying and somethings reaching out
Vibrations, can you hear them now
Please help us, from the heavens look down
Our footsteps, gods coming around
So life doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly, so life doesn't Hurt, doesn't hurt so badly
Please don't look at life, look at me so sadly. Life shouldn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly
Gotta make like a cat theif's caught in the line

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.
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
I dont know about you guys, but I like to think this whole album as a storyline. I knew it was a storyline even before they annnouncened they would make a movie with the same name.
In this particular one the lyrics sound like they are talking about a guy (?Lee?) that is shut out from the world.
Im floating, and somethings reaching out "Vibrations, can you hear them now Please help us, from the heavens on down Our footsteps, gods coming around"
He comes to realise that his life wasnt actually that bad and that he took advantage of living.
"Finally I get this feeling were all alone in one big world Just to realize that all these shapes and colors are so it doesnt hurt so badly"
but thats my two cents and I could be wrong..but I love to think of the song in this way.
