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 see the walls, then see them fall
You break through them all
I see you crawl, now you stand tall
Grow and grow till tall
In storm we scream against the stream, our eyes watering
Jump into lakes, the surface breaks
We swim underwater, and our mouths
In tune
We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
We all want to go with the breeze we will blow
We all want to know when we're all meant to go
To a place you and I
I see forest, a treasure chest full of labyrinth
I see a door, holes in the floor
We'll break seeds, we'll grow
There's songs, songs you bring to us
You pin both the wings on us
I hear, I see you sing for us
You go tie a string around us
There's songs, songs you bring to us
You pin both the wings on us
I hear, I see you sing for us
You go tie a string around us
We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
We all want to go with the breeze we will blow
We all want to know when we're all meant to go
To a place you and I
We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
We all want to go with the breeze we will blow
We all want to know when we're all meant to go
To a place you and I
I see you grow
I see you grow
Grow taller
(And our mouths
In tune)
You break through them all
I see you crawl, now you stand tall
Grow and grow till tall
In storm we scream against the stream, our eyes watering
Jump into lakes, the surface breaks
We swim underwater, and our mouths
In tune
We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
We all want to go with the breeze we will blow
We all want to know when we're all meant to go
To a place you and I
I see forest, a treasure chest full of labyrinth
I see a door, holes in the floor
We'll break seeds, we'll grow
There's songs, songs you bring to us
You pin both the wings on us
I hear, I see you sing for us
You go tie a string around us
There's songs, songs you bring to us
You pin both the wings on us
I hear, I see you sing for us
You go tie a string around us
We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
We all want to go with the breeze we will blow
We all want to know when we're all meant to go
To a place you and I
We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
We all want to go with the breeze we will blow
We all want to know when we're all meant to go
To a place you and I
I see you grow
I see you grow
Grow taller
(And our mouths
In tune)

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.
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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
this is my favorite song from "Go". it's absolutely brilliant.
I see it as similar to Boy Lilikoi - the uplifting nature of it - though both are brilliant songs in their own right.
It's a definite stand-out!
Most powerful song on Go; hands down.
I think it has to do with getting older and making sure you live life to the fullest you can despite your hardships and all the twists and turns, ups and downs life takes you through ("I see forest, a treasure chest full of labyrinth I see a door, holes in the floor We'll break seeds, we'll grow"). He knows we will all have to die eventually, but hopefully we can enjoy the journey until then. And when death does come, he knows we all want to die naturally and painlessly but we can't know for sure if that will happen; so maybe we can focus on a happy place we will go to no matter our death. He says that place is called home:: ("We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow We all want to go with the breeze we will blow We all want to know when we're all meant to go To a place you and I- Will call home").
