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.
So much killing
Too much anger inside
So much living
Not enough people living right
Too much hatred
Too much emptiness
I've got too much in me
To go without a fight
Tonight
All we need is (one love)
That's all that we need
'Cause I know (one love)
Has given to me
There's so much
We can learn from each other
If we just find that one love.
Too much heartbreak
Too much drowning inside
Feels like an earthquake
Every time that you step outside
Too much crying
Too much ugliness
We've got to come together
It's time for you and I
So much talking
So much locked up inside
We should be listening
Why do we build these walls so high?
There's no escaping
Everyone's working to survive
We can win this thing together if we try
Tonight
All we need is (one love)
That's all that we need
'Cause I know (one love)
Has given to me
There's so much
We can learn from each other
If we just find that one love.
Let's find a minute to breathe
Before we run out of air
Holding on, falling down
This world is falling apart
One love is all we need
That's what we need is (one love)
That's all that we need
'Cause I know (one love)
Has given to me
There's so much
We can learn from each other
If we just find that one love.
All we need is (one love)
That's all that we need
'Cause I know (one love)
Has given to me
There's so much
We can learn from each other
If we just find that one love
If we just find that one love
All we need
(One love, that's all that we need)
All we need
(One love, that's all that we need)
One love, one love, one love, one love
One love, one love, one love, one love
Too much anger inside
So much living
Not enough people living right
Too much hatred
Too much emptiness
I've got too much in me
To go without a fight
Tonight
All we need is (one love)
That's all that we need
'Cause I know (one love)
Has given to me
There's so much
We can learn from each other
If we just find that one love.
Too much heartbreak
Too much drowning inside
Feels like an earthquake
Every time that you step outside
Too much crying
Too much ugliness
We've got to come together
It's time for you and I
So much talking
So much locked up inside
We should be listening
Why do we build these walls so high?
There's no escaping
Everyone's working to survive
We can win this thing together if we try
Tonight
All we need is (one love)
That's all that we need
'Cause I know (one love)
Has given to me
There's so much
We can learn from each other
If we just find that one love.
Let's find a minute to breathe
Before we run out of air
Holding on, falling down
This world is falling apart
One love is all we need
That's what we need is (one love)
That's all that we need
'Cause I know (one love)
Has given to me
There's so much
We can learn from each other
If we just find that one love.
All we need is (one love)
That's all that we need
'Cause I know (one love)
Has given to me
There's so much
We can learn from each other
If we just find that one love
If we just find that one love
All we need
(One love, that's all that we need)
All we need
(One love, that's all that we need)
One love, one love, one love, one love
One love, one love, one love, one love

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.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
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.
