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.
I'm tired of compromise.
I tried to get through to you,
But your walls are too thick,
And everything I throw,
Just comes back again.
I tried to talk to myself,
But the words don't mean a thing,
When my head tells my heart,
There's no bargaining.
Feels like you're made of stone,
And I'm just skin and bone,
A live reminder that,
I wasn't enough for you.
I tried to disengage,
I tore myself a new page,
And told myself,
That I still wasn't enough for you.
Get some perspective,
And think before you speak next time,
Less overreacting,
You were blind, I was fine,
I thought you'd see that in time.
I was always there,
And you were always listening,
Or so it seemed.
We've never seen eye to eye.
This is a wake-up call,
For every single morning,
You've had me crawling back.
And If I start again,
I know I'll be much better,
But better isn't what I had.
Forgive me for stepping out of my place,
You were the only one left with a smile on your face.
When I was low and in deep,
You found it in me.
All I wanted was an honest reaction,
Just to get some peace of mind.
If I told you what it meant,
Would it make any difference?
This was for you.
I tried to get through to you,
But your walls are too thick,
And everything I throw,
Just comes back again.
I tried to talk to myself,
But the words don't mean a thing,
When my head tells my heart,
There's no bargaining.
Feels like you're made of stone,
And I'm just skin and bone,
A live reminder that,
I wasn't enough for you.
I tried to disengage,
I tore myself a new page,
And told myself,
That I still wasn't enough for you.
Get some perspective,
And think before you speak next time,
Less overreacting,
You were blind, I was fine,
I thought you'd see that in time.
I was always there,
And you were always listening,
Or so it seemed.
We've never seen eye to eye.
This is a wake-up call,
For every single morning,
You've had me crawling back.
And If I start again,
I know I'll be much better,
But better isn't what I had.
Forgive me for stepping out of my place,
You were the only one left with a smile on your face.
When I was low and in deep,
You found it in me.
All I wanted was an honest reaction,
Just to get some peace of mind.
If I told you what it meant,
Would it make any difference?
This was for you.

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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
