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 sorry.
I don't mean to remember.
It's true that I dream less often.
I'm not ashamed of that long December
Your hand's coming down again.
I close my eyes and brace myself.
I only noticed your face.
No matter what you're gonna build my shell,
I'm falling.
I'm shedding my skin, but it's not time I'm told.
I am aware of what you mean and by then I'm only ten years old.
I close my eyes and brace myself.
I only noticed your face.
No matter what your gonna build my shell
My scars are yours today.
This story ends so good.
I love you and I understand that you stood where I stood.
I close my eyes and brace my self.
I only notice your face.
No matter what your gonna break my shell
I'm done healing.
I'm done healing.
I don't mean to remember.
It's true that I dream less often.
I'm not ashamed of that long December
Your hand's coming down again.
I close my eyes and brace myself.
I only noticed your face.
No matter what you're gonna build my shell,
I'm falling.
I'm shedding my skin, but it's not time I'm told.
I am aware of what you mean and by then I'm only ten years old.
I close my eyes and brace myself.
I only noticed your face.
No matter what your gonna build my shell
My scars are yours today.
This story ends so good.
I love you and I understand that you stood where I stood.
I close my eyes and brace my self.
I only notice your face.
No matter what your gonna break my shell
I'm done healing.
I'm done healing.

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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
i think it means she got raped when she was younger but forgave and gave it to GOD who was always there but she didnt realize it and now that she does she gives all the scars and pain 2 Him :)
I think that when she say "i'm only ten years old" I think its about when she first started experimenting with drugs. Because in one of the kerrang articles it says that she started experimenting when she was ten.
Yeah, she did start drugs at ten...I don't know, some of the lines in this song, such as "Your hand's coming down again," really stand out to me as a story of childhood abuse.
I think this song has something to do with her cousin who was allegedly beat to death by her uncle. She said that that's what made her stop believing in God and eventually got her into drugs in the first place. I don't know, just a wild guess.
I'm Sorry is about how her mother used to hit her when she was young, she understand why and Lacey forgives her.
"I'm not ashamed Of that long December Your hand's coming down again." = Lacey remembers when her mom used to hit her.
"I close my eyes and brace myself I only noticed your face." = Before her mom used to hit her she'd cringe and just get herself ready for it, It was like they were the only 2 people in the room, she remembers that night/day/time period.
"But it's not time I'm told I am aware (am aware) Of what you mean by then I'm only ten years old." = Lacey was only 10 at the time and now since she's about 34 now, she understand and is fully aware why her mom used to hit her. No one had to tell her, she understood herself.
"My scars are yours today This story ends so good I love you and I understand That you stood where I stood." = When Lacey's mom hit her, it left scars and now It's just a reminder and now that she's grown up she's happier now and the story of her life ends great. She loves her mom and why she did that and maybe when her mom was little, she used to get hit she understands where her mom stands.
" I'm done healing I'm done healing." = She's done healing, It's over now, she forgives everybody who has ever done anything bad to her.
