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.
Darwin first did the imminent service of arousing attention to the
Probability of all change in organic, as well as in the inorganic world,
Being the result of law, and not of miraculous interposition
For all life is a continuum. All living things despite their awesome diversity
Are related to each other. And evolution is the term we give to that
Process, by which the structure of plants and animals changes with the
Passage of time thus accounting for the continuum
I was staring through the blackboard trying to keep from sleeping,
Doing my very best to hear the subject they were teaching.
When to my surprise, I couldn't my believe my ears,
This is what you looked like back a million years
Your uncle was a monkey, he was swinging through the trees,
He lived on green bananas, and his arms swung to his knees
He spoke with such conviction, it really made me think,
Maybe my teacher, He's the missing link!
He said...
I believe in evolution,
Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies.
It's the only possible solution,
Big Bang fiction, that we factualize
Therefore Crow Magnum Man!
It takes a lot of faith to say we're accidents of nature,
But I believe we are the work of a loving creator
Now you can wait a million years and hope that nature does it's part,
But it only takes a moment, for God to change a heart
That's why...
I believe in evolution,
Changing of the heart, renewing of the mind.
It's the only true solution,
God is always working, changing lives (changing lives),
It's evolution redefined
I used to trust in natural selection,
My survival was all I could see.
My evolving to perfection,
Started when God rescued me
I believe in evolution,
Changing of the heart, renewing of the mind.
It's the only true solution, God is always working,
Changing lives.
I believe in evolution,
Changing of the heart, renewing of the mind
It's the only true solution,

Changing lives.

Holiday
Bee Gees
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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I remember liking this song back in the day, when I was caught up in the world of evangelical Christianity. Embarrassed to admit that today!
"All living things despite their awesome diversity / Are related to each other."
This line was spoken by the teacher, in a very mocking kind of voice, like the teacher is completely clueless. In actuality, it's one of the only truths said in this song.
"I believe in evolution, Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies. It's the only possible solution, Big Bang fiction, that we factualize"
As usual, anti-science Christians don't see the irony in thinking that it's science that says "ask me no questions", when it's religion that does that. Try putting your hand up during a Sunday sermon to say to the preacher, "I have a problem with that".
Religious people continually say how nothing can possibly exist without being created ("Big Bang fiction"). Well then, that would also apply to God.
