its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Maybe it's to early
Maybe it's to late
Maybe it's just around the corner
But i don't wanna wait
Maybe there's a reason
Maybe there's a plan
Maybe I'm heathen
Maybe I'm mad
It's only me hat thinks it's all a lie
I woke up in world war something
Lost my feeling I got nothing
Make a man
If you can
Of this boy
In your hands
Maybe there's no reason
Maybe there's no rhyme
Maybe when you're on your knees
You're wasting precious time
Maybe it's a joke and it's on you
Maybe you should stop and look around
I woke up in world war something
Lost my feeling I got nothing
Make a man
If you can
Of this boy
In your hands
When you know it it's over
When it's over it's over
When you know it it's over
When it's over it's over
When you know it it's over
When it's over it's over
When you know it it's over-
When it's over it's oh..
I woke up in world war something
Lost my feeling I got nothing
Maybe it's to late
Maybe it's just around the corner
But i don't wanna wait
Maybe there's a reason
Maybe there's a plan
Maybe I'm heathen
Maybe I'm mad
It's only me hat thinks it's all a lie
I woke up in world war something
Lost my feeling I got nothing
Make a man
If you can
Of this boy
In your hands
Maybe there's no reason
Maybe there's no rhyme
Maybe when you're on your knees
You're wasting precious time
Maybe it's a joke and it's on you
Maybe you should stop and look around
I woke up in world war something
Lost my feeling I got nothing
Make a man
If you can
Of this boy
In your hands
When you know it it's over
When it's over it's over
When you know it it's over
When it's over it's over
When you know it it's over
When it's over it's over
When you know it it's over-
When it's over it's oh..
I woke up in world war something
Lost my feeling I got nothing

He certainly did earn that reputation.

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.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.
