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.
Better things come to those who wait
Then appearness left for all too late
Greatness achieved, and darkness defeated
Ram shack crew with something to prove
And the truck blew up believe it
You see me go, there's something coming your way
Everything I want, and everything I need
So say it to me, say it to my face
There's no time to be reserved or safe
Call just chill, whenever
Glory till the end
Everything I want, and everything I'll get
It's coming now, It's going down
The stars are falling, walls are coming all of hour
Knocking on the doorway, look who's coming your way
Everything I want, everything I need
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
No one's gonna know it
The right ones are green
Proving wrong the other one's winning
We're fine, when I'll win
Look what's in the doorway
There's something coming your way
Everything I want, everything I need
Knocking on the doorway,
Hey look what's coming your way
It's everything I want, It's everything I need
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Then appearness left for all too late
Greatness achieved, and darkness defeated
Ram shack crew with something to prove
And the truck blew up believe it
You see me go, there's something coming your way
Everything I want, and everything I need
So say it to me, say it to my face
There's no time to be reserved or safe
Call just chill, whenever
Glory till the end
Everything I want, and everything I'll get
It's coming now, It's going down
The stars are falling, walls are coming all of hour
Knocking on the doorway, look who's coming your way
Everything I want, everything I need
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
No one's gonna know it
The right ones are green
Proving wrong the other one's winning
We're fine, when I'll win
Look what's in the doorway
There's something coming your way
Everything I want, everything I need
Knocking on the doorway,
Hey look what's coming your way
It's everything I want, It's everything I need
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door
Knocking on the door, ooh ooh, ooh ooh

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.
Pretty much every line here is wrong... really bad effort!
