You may be the one
But you'll never be the one
You think you understand
But you don't understand

You may be my love
But you'll never be my love
You may take my hand
You who demand so much

And then there was the kiss
Right out there in the universe
How did that happen?
No, it could not have been worse

You forgot yourself
It could not have been worse
It broke my heart
It broke my heart

I used to love you
See the light inside of you
I used to dream that
You were an angel
You were an angel
And I was a starving child

You may have the question
But you'll never answer to me
You may have the goodness somewhere
But you'll never let me see
You may be the righteous one
But it won't be right for me
How its lasted so long
Its a mystery to me

I used to love you
See the light inside of you
I used to dream that
You were an angel
You were an angel
And I was a starving child

You may cry the tears
But the tears aren't really for me
You say its taken years
Years of regret and pain

Forget me not
Says "I'm so afraid"
Says "There's no fear in your eyes,
Tell me another lie"

I hear the honors calling
I hear angry words
Flying across the ocean
Like some sea birds
Never stopping
I feel my blood racing
I can't believe what you are saying
I used to love you so much

I used to love you
See the light inside of you
I used to dream that
You were an angel
I used to love you
See the light inside of you
I used to dream that
You were an angel
I used to love you
See the light inside of you
I used to dream that
You were an angel
You were an angel
And I was a starving child
And we were magic

    Pretty obvious meaning, about somebody who she was once in love with and then things changed. She is looking back on their relationship, reflecting on the good times and the bad, and coming to terms with the fact that they won't be together anymore. She used to dream that they were an angel, but now that is not the case.

    Simple song but one of the best on the latest album.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
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.

Fortnight
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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
