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.
We've all heard them say
“It takes one to know one”
“It takes one to know one”
“It takes one to know one”
Well small lies are big lies and we've all told both.
The whole world is wounded
While you stand around
And heal like an angel.
You might think all of this sounds so crazy
But we want to fall where there are padded walls.
I don't wanna be inside while the walls are closing in.
If you want to make this all work then you're gonna have to try.
One word said softly and perseverant
Is the twin of an outright speech
But lies always travel faster than the truth is said.
Lies always travel faster than the truth is said.
But the lies always travel faster than the truth is said.
The lies always travel faster than the truth is said.
Truth is said.
We've all heard them say
“It takes one to know one”
“It takes one to know one”
Yeah
Cause I don't wanna be inside while the walls are closing in.
If you want to make this all work then you're gonna have to try.
I don't wanna be inside while the walls are closing in.
If you want to make this all work then you're gonna have to try.
We've all heard them say
(The whole world is wounded)
(The whole world is wounded)
(The whole world is wounded)
“It takes one to know one”
“It takes one to know one”
“It takes one to know one”
Well small lies are big lies and we've all told both.
The whole world is wounded
While you stand around
And heal like an angel.
You might think all of this sounds so crazy
But we want to fall where there are padded walls.
I don't wanna be inside while the walls are closing in.
If you want to make this all work then you're gonna have to try.
One word said softly and perseverant
Is the twin of an outright speech
But lies always travel faster than the truth is said.
Lies always travel faster than the truth is said.
But the lies always travel faster than the truth is said.
The lies always travel faster than the truth is said.
Truth is said.
We've all heard them say
“It takes one to know one”
“It takes one to know one”
Yeah
Cause I don't wanna be inside while the walls are closing in.
If you want to make this all work then you're gonna have to try.
I don't wanna be inside while the walls are closing in.
If you want to make this all work then you're gonna have to try.
We've all heard them say
(The whole world is wounded)
(The whole world is wounded)
(The whole world is wounded)

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
