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.

See me flash on TV channels (Never throw the towel in)
People passing, keep harassing (Asking what my style is)
Just go grab some rubber-bands and watch this money pile in
Got two freaks that's super nasty, everybody's wylin'
See me flash on TV channels (Never throw the towel in)
People passing, keep harassing (Asking what my style is
Just go grab some rubber-bands and watch this money pile in
Got two freaks that's super nasty, everybody's wylin'
[Verse 1]
Jump the brick the 55, Luca Brasi in rack mode
Drove a bucket, went from a Cutlass, to slamming Lac' doors
Shoes dusty, smell a little musty, I'm dressing bummy
Sad but touching, now when I'm shopping everything on the rack gone
Shawty here in front me, and she ain't much got a back bone
In two different lanes, live everything in my rap songs
Chat with other rappers and not too many done handled
They talented, for example, and more than half ain't done clapped chrome
Get your flap gone, for slipping, moving your flap wrong
All day I dream about stacks, bricks with stamps on
Trap-phone, Boost Mobile chirp alert with the gat on
On-side of me as if into pornography with a strap-on
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Never throw the towel
Women steady gettin' wild
Cashmere ostrich interior, ? on the ground
While my head is in the clouds, blowing loud by the pound
Eatin' crab cakes with your main line, in my hood it's goin' down
All they know is Kevin Gates
I wish you would get in the way
Through my section Willie Harry, with a weapon in my waist
My lil' Juvie jumpin' rope, before I left and did a bid
Used to watch her while I hustled, she would sing with her lil' friends
They like "See that house on top of that hill, that's just where my boyfriend live"
That Phantom and that Corvette his, his watch cost a few mortgages
If you don't know what a Corvette is, I can show you what retawdid' is
Free Lee Lucas, clutching rulers, no solution, hard to kill

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
