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.
Just a list of things I'd do if I could fly
Oh I would fly straight to the moon
To bring the sands back here to you
And we'd make castles where we'd spend our days
And rooms that last eternities
And perfect cracks get fixed with ease
And if it falls apart faster than we had planned
We'll plan for something else
Doesn't matter if it's raining or it's dark
You'll be my something else
The only else cared for you are
And if I prayed for one more thing it would be time
Just a second I could pause
Just one more minute at exhaust
'Cause on the list of everything I need
There's air but first there's you and me
There's love and love your everything
'Cause I've had dreams where we collected
All the clocks and put them all to bed
Because here inside this moment there is us
There need be nothing else
This is something I've wished for
If I had to walk the earth a thousand times
I'd do it 'cause I love you
Because if you said I had to
I would know it to be true
And I would spend every night under the stars
To memorize the patterns
Both our heartbeats would make
It might stop me from shaking
And the truth is
I'd be shameless
And I'd be grateful
For this one chance
For our first dance
And you are, you are, you are, you are, you are the one
If I had to walk the earth a thousand times
I'd do it 'cause I love you
Because if you said I had to
I would know it to be true
And I would spend every night under the stars
To memorize the patterns
Both our heartbeats would make
It might stop me from shaking
And the truth is
I'd be shameless
And I'd be grateful
For this one chance
For our first dance
And you are, you are, you are, you are, you are the one
Oh I would fly straight to the moon
To bring the sands back here to you
And we'd make castles where we'd spend our days
And rooms that last eternities
And perfect cracks get fixed with ease
And if it falls apart faster than we had planned
We'll plan for something else
Doesn't matter if it's raining or it's dark
You'll be my something else
The only else cared for you are
And if I prayed for one more thing it would be time
Just a second I could pause
Just one more minute at exhaust
'Cause on the list of everything I need
There's air but first there's you and me
There's love and love your everything
'Cause I've had dreams where we collected
All the clocks and put them all to bed
Because here inside this moment there is us
There need be nothing else
This is something I've wished for
If I had to walk the earth a thousand times
I'd do it 'cause I love you
Because if you said I had to
I would know it to be true
And I would spend every night under the stars
To memorize the patterns

And the truth is

And you are, you are, you are, you are, you are the one

And you are, you are, you are, you are, you are the one

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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."

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,
One word comes to mind when I hear this: Nathan. I love you with all my heart and someday we'll have our first dance.
