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.
I wanna be the one that's catching all the luck
Sitting on a mountain of a million bucks
It's time I get a taste of the Hollywood life
Sleeping all day, getting drunk all night
Can I be the one getting all the free shit?
Hanging out with Hef; got my house on Cribs
If I could have a chance to be living this way
I would show you all that I'm not the same
Famous for nothing, you're not above me
You're gonna come and go, come and go
Then you're gone
Famous for nothing, loser got lucky
You're gonna come and go, come and go
Then you're gone
I wanna be the one with hundreds in my hand
Slipping right by the bitch door man
It's time to start seeing things going my way
Sipping on some Jack and a bottle of Grey
Can I be the one with the thirty-two cars?
Sitting backstage with all the rock stars
Don't wanna be the one that told you so
Middle finger up screaming "Fuck the world"
Famous for nothing, you're not above me
You're gonna come and go, come and go
Then you're gone
Famous for nothing, loser got lucky
You're gonna come and go, come and go
Then you're gone
Famous for shit
Why don't you quit?
You've got it all
So why can't I?
Famous for shit
Why don't you quit?
You've got it all
So why can't I?
Famous for nothing, you're not above me
You're gonna come and go, come and go
Then you're gone
Famous for nothing, loser got lucky
You're gonna come and go, come and go
Then you're gone
Sitting on a mountain of a million bucks
It's time I get a taste of the Hollywood life
Sleeping all day, getting drunk all night
Can I be the one getting all the free shit?
Hanging out with Hef; got my house on Cribs
If I could have a chance to be living this way
I would show you all that I'm not the same
Famous for nothing, you're not above me
You're gonna come and go, come and go
Then you're gone
Famous for nothing, loser got lucky
You're gonna come and go, come and go
Then you're gone
I wanna be the one with hundreds in my hand
Slipping right by the bitch door man
It's time to start seeing things going my way
Sipping on some Jack and a bottle of Grey
Can I be the one with the thirty-two cars?
Sitting backstage with all the rock stars
Don't wanna be the one that told you so
Middle finger up screaming "Fuck the world"
Famous for nothing, you're not above me
You're gonna come and go, come and go
Then you're gone
Famous for nothing, loser got lucky
You're gonna come and go, come and go
Then you're gone
Famous for shit
Why don't you quit?
You've got it all
So why can't I?
Famous for shit
Why don't you quit?
You've got it all
So why can't I?
Famous for nothing, you're not above me
You're gonna come and go, come and go
Then you're gone
Famous for nothing, loser got lucky
You're gonna come and go, come and go
Then you're gone

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I have to say I am surprised no one has commented on this one yet. Its a great song. I think it is pretty easy to read - you see these people who have no talent making it big in Hollywood for one reason or another...you know you have the talent and are better and want it more...basically.
