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.
Oh, Oh, oh-oh
Oh, Oh, oh-oh
I barely even know your name, but I want you
I want it bad, want it bad
I've got a crazy mind, I can't fight it
I get that all the time, all the time
So so here goes my open letter to you
'Cause I've been watching you from across the country
If I could be your star-crossed more than friend
Yeah, I would be so good to you, good to you
Here goes my voice, I'll sing it out
I wanna get so lost with you in the here and now
And there's nothing else I wanna say
'Cause I'm losing my mind for you
So won't you be my secret girl
(Oh, Oh, oh-oh)
You could be my secret girl
(Oh, Oh, oh-oh)
Yeah, you could be my secret girl
And if you look to the sky tonight
(You will see)
I'm sending you a song, hope I'm singing it right
(You are)
You could even be my heartbreak, I don't mind
Don't wanna keep you far. Been so far all my life
Yeah, I've been watching you, watching you girl
(Watching you, watching you girl)
You're so pretty when you smile at the world
You leave me weak in the knees, never fell this far
For somebody I've never met before
With you I can tell
Here goes my voice, I'll sing it out
I wanna get so lost with you in the here and now
And there's nothing else I wanna say
'Cause I'm losing my mind for you
So won't you be my secret girl
(Oh, Oh, oh-oh)
You could be my secret girl
(Oh, Oh, oh-oh)
Yeah you could be my secret girl
(Oh, Oh, oh-oh)
You could be my secret girl
(Oh, Oh, oh-oh)
And we'll live in a secret world
(Ohhhhhhhhhh)
In a secret world
I wanna be there where you are
If I could only get that far
(With you)
(Oh, Oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, Oh, oh-oh)
Here goes my voice, I'm singing to you
I know that I have finally found what I've gotta do
And there's nothing else that I can say
'Cause I'm losing my mind for you
So won't you be my secret
('Cause I want it bad, I want it bad)
You could be my secret girl
(Oh, Oh, oh-oh)
You could be my secret girl
(Oh, Oh, oh-oh)
Yeah, you could be my secret girl
(Oh, Oh, oh-oh)
You could be my secret girl
(Oh, Oh, oh-oh)
Yeah, you could be my secret girl

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
