Well, in my opinion this song is about being a young & maybe a little naive &/or introverted girl and finding yourself loving a man who is at first very charming, carefree & outgoing, and seems at first to be without limits, as in
"There was a time
you opened up every doorway
you didn't mind if everything
wasn't your way"
then that man starts to gradually become more introverted & shows their more possessive/obsessive side to you as the relationship progresses, even while they keep up the appearance of being carefree & outgoing to everyone else,
"Don't pull away
that goes against what you told me
I look in your eyes
I realize what you've sold me
is love in a vacuum"
so you confront them about the way they're acting and of course they deny it,
"I think you've changed
but you insist that
that's not true"
quite possibly they are an addict of some sort, my guess would be cocaine, &/or showing very obsessive behavior towards you (early on in the video for this song we see the man hanging a picture up, it is a very large portrait of Aimee & it is prominently displayed in his/their apartment for the duration of the song), thus their "love in a vacuum",
"You look so strange, so distant
that you're hardly you
Now I can see
how you have been acting different
You say it's me
but I know
that it isn't
it's love in a vacuum"
but still you are in love with them and don't want to leave them and you know that they are truly in love with you and they don't want you to leave them either, maybe they are convinced you can save them from themself, maybe they are so broken that the possibility of an overdose &/or suicide attempt is very real and you want to get through to them that their behavior not only dangerous but it is also just pissing you off and if they don't wise up they run the risk of loosing you, as in the lines
"You will be lonely
if you leave me alone", so you want to save them but can't get through to them due to the addiction &/or emotional problems they have,
"Love in a vacuum
and that's not enough
love in a vacuum
You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
You will be lonely
if you leave me alone
You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
it's just not enough"
you want them to understand that the love they are giving you is not enough when it is filtered through the vacuum of their drug addiction &/or emotional impairment,
"You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
it's just not enough
and just wait
you will be lonely
Love in a vacuum
Love in a vacuum
and that's not enough
Love in a vacuum".
'Love In A Vacuum' for me is a hauntingly truthful acute argument on the loneliness of obsession and almost inevitable loss of love that follows people who are broken in some way or another; the obsessives, the coke heads, the drunks, addicts or the just-plain-old emotionally broken; a razor sharp, lyrically driven, deceptively poppy, yet ultimately-depressing-in-the-best-way song.

Recuerdo tu foto
Y la mía (regreso el jefe)
La que sacamos aquel día
(A marcar la zona)
En mi celular
(vamo' allá)
Recuerdo tu foto (shorty)
Y la mía (a que te enamoro)
El flash nos tenia
(Ponlo tu ahí, ponlo)
Donde queríamos estar
(Y probando)
Ese momento nunca anclo
La batería se agoto,
Desapareció, me rocheo yo
Recuerdo tu foto y la mía
La imagen vestía
Traje de felicidad
Recuerdo tu foto y la mía
La que sacamos aquel día
En mi celular
Ya no te tengo, porque se apago
El único testigo desapareció,
(Recuerdo de amor)
La foto se me borro
La foto se me borro
La foto se me borro
La foto se me borro
Corrí yo acicálense que llego
One, two, zone d' tambora
Ese momento nunca anclo
La batería se agoto
Desapareció, me rocheo yo
Ya no te tengo porque se apago el único testigo desapareció,
(Recuerdo de amor)
La foto se me borro
La foto se me borro
La foto se me borro
La foto se me borro
Me rocheo yo
Porque la foto se me borro
La foto se me borro
Hey, déjate llevar y ponte a
Bailar mi zone, zone go ro co
Zone zone zone, eh
Pequeña échate pa' aca
Regreso el jefe
Y ahora dale copy paste al mambo
Esto tiene boom boom, dale
Esto tiene boom boom vamo' allá
Ah, zone d' tambora
Se me borro el día tan hermoso
Tú y yo amandonos retratandonos
En mi celular
Se me borro aquel abrazo de oso
Tú y yo dándonos,
Acariciándonos con sabor y sin pinchar
Ese momento nunca anclo
La batería se agoto
Desapareció, me rocheo yo
Ya no te tengo, porque se apago
El único testigo desapareció,
Recuerdo de amor
La foto se me borro
La foto se me borro
La foto se me borro
La foto se me borro
Me rocheo yo
Porque la foto se me borro
La foto se me borro
En este momento
El jefe acaba de regresar
Y se encuentra cantando
Con zone d'tambora
Da un corto mensaje
Y tan pronto termine
Se los enseño
Recuerdo tu foto y la mía
La foto prometía
Que tu y yo
Le vamos a terminar
No no no
La foto se me borro
(Se me borro ah)
Y la mía (regreso el jefe)

Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

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.
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.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
