Saw her from afar
Study how she moves
Straight into my twisted temptation
All of these thoughts
God made me a monster without an intention to get caught

I'm your neighbor, I'll be your best friend
I'll be with you when you're at your end
With a smile you will not suspect
Don't make me upset

Got you in the throes
And now you can't go
Take you for my own
Fingers & Toes

Envision you're a dream
I'll tear you at the seams
You can be my queen
I'll cherish all your pieces

Oh you silly girl
Never be alone
I got your skin and bones

Such a pretty girl
I love it when you're crying no oh oh oh oh
No oh oh oh oh

How you fascinate
Such anticipation
I can almost taste it taste it

Oh what fun we make
We'll play operation
You can be my patient in this game

I'm your neighbor, I'll be your best friend
I'll be with you when you're at your end
With a smile you will not suspect
Don't make me upset

Got you in the throes
And now you can't go
Keep you for my own
Fingers & Toes


Envision you're a dream
I'll tear you at the seams
You can be my queen
I'll cherish all your pieces

Oh you silly girl
Never be alone
I got your skin and bones

Such a pretty girl
I love you when you're crying no oh oooh

Got you in the throes
And now you can't go
Keep you for my own
Fingers & Toes

Envision you're a dream
I'll tear you at the seams
You can be my queen
I'll cherish all your pieces

Oh you silly girl
Never be alone
I got your skin and bones

Such a pretty girl
I love you when you're crying no oh oh oh oh

I love you when you're crying (no oh oh oh oh)
I love you when you're crying (no oh oh oh oh)
I love you when you're crying (no oh oh oh oh)

I love you when you're crying no oh oh oh oh

    I think it's "I love you when you're crying no"

    reminds me of The Lovely Bones

So this has been.my favorite song of OTEP's since it came out in 2004, and I always thought it was a song about a child's narrative of suffering in an abusive Christian home. But now that I am revisiting the lyrics, I am seeing something totally new. This song could be gospel of John but from the perspective of Jesus. Jesus was NOT having a good time up to and during the crucifixion. Everyone in the known world at the time looked to him with fear, admiration or disgust and he was constantly being asked questions. He spoke in "verses, prophesies and curses". He had made an enemy of the state, and believed the world was increasingly wicked and fallen from grace, or that he was in the "mouth of madness". The spine of atlas is the structure that allows the titan to hold the world up. Jesus challenged the state and in doing so became a celebrated resistance figure. It also made him public enemy #1. All of this happened simply because he was doing his thing, not because of any agenda he had or strategy. And then he gets scourged (storm of thorns) There are some plot holes here but I think it's an interesting interpretation.

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

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.

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”
