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.
Like the legend of the phoenix
All ends with beginnings
What keeps the planet spinning (uh)
The force of love beginning
(Look)
We've come too far to give up who we are
So let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars
She's up all night 'til the sun

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.
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.
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."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
The song is about Lust and Love. The two words are pretty much interchangeable in this song.
"Like the legend of the phoenix"
"We've come too far to give up who we are"
"She's up all night 'til the sun" -This line is shows that the girl is fun, excited, and has a lot of energy, enough to stay up all night. Plus, she is having such a good time, I'm sure she doesn't want the night to end and wants to squeeze every bit out of it that she can. She's really making the most out the night and exuding love and excitement. "I'm up all night to get some" -This has multiple meanings. It's one of those sexy lines. First we think about 'getting some' as getting some sex, which as he referred to earlier is something he definitely wants. But he's not being sleazy or sneaky; he likes who she is. He wants to get some of her excitement. She's really turning him on in a physically and emotional way. "She's up all night for good fun"
**I would also like to add one more personal interpretation of the lines grouped as a whole:
"We're up all night 'til the sun We're up all night to get some We're up all night for good fun We're up all night to get lucky" -The only difference between these lines and the ones before them is the introduction of 'We'. At first it was a 'you' and 'me', but as the night progresses the two has become a 'we'. They are bonding, or getting closer. Their wants and needs are the same. They have mutual feelings for each other. Regardless whether the physical or emotional attraction happened first doesn't matter; they both feel attracted to each other.
"The present has no ribbon"
Well, that's my interpretation of the song. I think it's a pretty cool song because it paints such a full picture of star crossed lovers seizing the night and then actually getting lucky and having it work out for them--it runs pretty deep for a club/dance tune. But then again, it is Daft Punk. I think I would be more shocked if they released a bad song.
A lengthy interpretation, but you nailed it...perfectly. I completely agree.
I think there is a delberate disconnect. The girl is out for (good) fun, is having a good tie, not with the intention of it having to end in sex, while the guy is out to get laid.
Yeah, the deep analysis was interesting and all, but this is a 1-dimensional guy out to get lucky and he's spotted some random girl who just wants some good fun. Julien Blanc style.
@BrEnNo1023 there's also "Let's get back together" part which everyone's missing - so it's not about picking some random girl in the club. IMO it's about people who are kinda bionic/robotic and are with an inflated ego and now cannot give up everything and yet they decide to restart their relationships
