West on a plane bound west I see her stretching out below
Land blessed motherland the place where I was born
Scars yeah, she's got her scars sometimes it starts to worry me
'Cause lose, I don't wanna lose sight of who we are

From the mountains high to the wave-crashed coast
There's a way to find better days I know
It's been a long hard ride, got a ways to go
But this is still the place, that we all call home

Free, nothing feels like free
Though it sometimes means we don't get along
'Cause same, no we're not the same
But that's what makes us strong

From the mountains high, to the wave-crashed coast
There's a way to find, better days I know
It's been a long hard ride, got a ways to go
But this is still the place that we all call home oh yeah

Brave got it call it brave to chase that dream across the sea
Names then they sign their names for something they believe
Red how the blood ran red and we laid our dead in sacred ground
Just think wonder what they'd think if they could see us now

It's been a long hard ride, got a ways to go
But this is still the place, that we all call home
It's been a long hard ride and I won't lose hope
This is still the place that we all call home

    OK drinking again but on a mac so I got this.

    There is a pivotal judicial phrase which I don't have the time to find but I will in my new blog called "Dierks legally stole this song and I could make a damn good argument in court 101".

    Anyways could this piece exist independently of Jason's piece, fuck no.

    That is the jurisprudence I would lean on and this is what went down it is a cheap sneaky try to be legal but ask in musician in the biz and they say fuck no.

    And Dierks you're gonna me a job and I'm one cocky motherfucker and I've practiced my ass off and got as good as I can to take you out who shits on musicians like Isbell that intimidate the fuck out of me.

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”
