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.
Oh oh, ooh, oh no
I see everybody around but it feels like we're in private
I know you want me so bad 'cause you just can't seem to hide it
The lights are moving to the rhythm of the music
When we're together
Everything just comes together, baby
So inspired by the moment we can lose it
I hope you're ready
As long as I see the strobe lights
I'm dancing all night long
When we're together baby
I'm feeling all right
You got me all night long
So tell the DJ play it
All night long (all night, all night, all night, all night)
All night long (all night, night, night, night)
So tell the DJ play it
All night long (all night, all night, all night, all night)
All night long (all night, night, night, night)
So tell the DJ play it
Tonight the admission is free
Now we're shuttin' the club down
We're moving now to the streets
All we got left is love now
Feel my troubles fading to the rhythm of your heart beat
When we're together
Everything just comes together, baby
Every motion calls your name, baby, once you start me
And I hope you're ready
As long as I see the strobe lights
I'm dancing all night long
When we're together baby
I'm feeling all right
You got me all night long
So tell the DJ play it
All night long (all night, all night, all night, all night)
All night long (all night, night, night, night)
So tell the DJ play it
All night long (all night, all night, all night, all night)
All night long (all night, night, night, night)
So tell the DJ play it
And you made me forget all my worries
Helped me put the past behind
Around us this world's in a hurry
While we stand still in time
The lights are moving to the rhythm of the music
When we're together
Everything just comes together, baby
So inspired by the moment we can lose it
And I hope you're ready
As long as I see the strobe lights
I'm dancing all night long
When we're together baby
I'm feeling all right
You got me all night long
So tell the DJ play it
All night long (all night, all night, all night, all night)
All night long (all night, night, night, night)
So tell the DJ play it
All night long (all night, all night, all night, all night)
All night long (all night, night, night, night)
So tell the DJ play it
It's only you and me together
And this feeling's so strong
Wish I could stay like this forever
All night long (all night, all night, all night, all night)
All night long (all night, night, night, night)
Said, all night long
Yeah
I see everybody around but it feels like we're in private
I know you want me so bad 'cause you just can't seem to hide it

I hope you're ready

All night long (all night, all night, all night, all night)
All night long (all night, night, night, night)
So tell the DJ play it
All night long (all night, all night, all night, all night)
All night long (all night, night, night, night)

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.
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."
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.
