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.
Rippin' my heart was so easy, so easy
Launch your assault now, take it easy
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon,
One word and it's over
Rippin' through like a missile,
Rippin' through my heart,
Rob me of this love
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon,
And it's over
Love your ego, you won't feel a thing
Always number one,
The pen with a bent wrist crooked king
Sign away our peace, for your war
One word and it's over
Dropping your bombs now, on all we've built
How does it feel now to watch it burn, burn, burn?
Raise your weapons, raise your weapons,
And it's over
Rippin' through like a missile,
Rippin' through my heart,
Rob me of this love
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon,
And it's over
How does it feel now to watch it burn (burn)?
Rippin' my heart was so easy, so easy
Launch your assault now, take it easy
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon,
One word and it's over
Rippin' through like a missile,
Rippin' through my heart,
Rob me of this love
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon,
And it's over
Love your ego, you won't feel a thing
Always number one,
The pen with a bent wrist crooked king
Sign away our peace, for your war
One word and it's over
Dropping your bombs now, on all we've built
How does it feel now
To watch it burn, burn, burn?
Raise your weapons, raise your weapons,
And it's over
Launch your assault now, take it easy
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon,
One word and it's over
Rippin' through like a missile,
Rippin' through my heart,
Rob me of this love
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon,
And it's over
Love your ego, you won't feel a thing
Always number one,
The pen with a bent wrist crooked king
Sign away our peace, for your war
One word and it's over
Dropping your bombs now, on all we've built
How does it feel now to watch it burn, burn, burn?
Raise your weapons, raise your weapons,
And it's over
Rippin' through like a missile,
Rippin' through my heart,
Rob me of this love
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon,
And it's over
How does it feel now to watch it burn (burn)?
Rippin' my heart was so easy, so easy
Launch your assault now, take it easy
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon,
One word and it's over
Rippin' through like a missile,
Rippin' through my heart,
Rob me of this love
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon,
And it's over
Love your ego, you won't feel a thing
Always number one,
The pen with a bent wrist crooked king
Sign away our peace, for your war
One word and it's over
Dropping your bombs now, on all we've built
How does it feel now
To watch it burn, burn, burn?
Raise your weapons, raise your weapons,
And it's over

Van Halen
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.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Actually, I feel the lyrics are using war as a metaphor for the breaking point in a relationship. As mentioned above, the weapons used in this seemingly one-sided war of words are fueled by anger and mistrust. The antagonist is assaulting the singer with words, "dropping [his] bombs now, on all [they've] built" and slowly "rippin' [her] heart" out. The singer at the end leaves one last scornful remark for her ex-lover; "How does it feel now to watch it burn, burn, burn?"
Kinda brings back to mind the phrase: "All's fair in love and war." Even if it really has nothing to do with the point of view of the lyrics.
Check out Madeon's Remix of this. Its really great for being done by a 16 year old!
Madeon shows great potential. And for the record, it's not just any remix. the mau5 himself put it on the official remix CD. Not just some kid with Ableton.
