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.
A prayer, just what would I say?
Speak of those who?re around
Who pray for you everyday
Everybody know we are just people
In the people's hands
Bless the soul of our man
That we might understand
All of my life
I've longed to be close
Nearer to someone
I thought would need me the most
Have no fear, your God is near
Just say a little prayer
Nothin' beats a failure but I try
With this one life to die for
I wanna satisfy with love
Just what would I do?
Allow your mind to improve
And keep yourself very, very clear
All can be forgiven
Now there's still hope for the living
Say a little prayer
Nothin' beats a failure but I try
With this one life to die for
I wanna satisfy
A prayer, just what would I say?
Speak of those who need your love
And who pray for you everyday
Everybody knows we are just people
In the people's hands
So keep a little prayer
Everybody knows we are just people
In the people's hands
So say a little prayer
(Our Father)
Say a little prayer
(Who art in Heaven)
Say a little prayer
(Hallowed be Thy name, in kingdom come)
Yeah, yeah
(Thy will be done, amen)
Speak of those who?re around
Who pray for you everyday
Everybody know we are just people
In the people's hands

I thought would need me the most
Have no fear, your God is near
Just say a little prayer
Nothin' beats a failure but I try
With this one life to die for

Just what would I do?
Allow your mind to improve
And keep yourself very, very clear
All can be forgiven
Now there's still hope for the living

And who pray for you everyday
Everybody knows we are just people
In the people's hands
So keep a little prayer
Everybody knows we are just people
In the people's hands

Say a little prayer
(Who art in Heaven)
Say a little prayer

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
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.
