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 was Mr Nice Guy too long
And I found out that was wrong
And I played the losing role
Now I'm standing at your door
Out in the cold again
Out in the cold again
I didn't know just what was going on
Behind my back for so long
People that couldn't tell right from wrong
Now I'm standing here all alone
Out in the cold again
Out in the cold again
Travelled up and down all around the world
Just to get to nowhere
In the final round I found
How many people really did care
And every time I try talking to you
You don't hear what I'm going through
In this dog eat dog world I'm in
It's a crying shame and it's a sin
To be out in the cold again
To be out in the cold again
Travelled up and down, up and down, up and down
Just to end up nowhere, end up nowhere
In the final round I found
Many people did care
And then they welcome me back home
Right back into the fold
But I'm still out, still out here on a limb
I'm on the outside just looking in
Out in the cold again
Out in the cold again
Out in the cold again
In between the times where it feels alright
To the cold black night
In between the times where it feels alright
To the dead of the cold black night
In between the dusk and the dawn
And the cold black night
Trying not to get too uptight
Trying not to show the strain
Having to hide my pain
In between the times where it feels a little bit right
In the day, in the cold black night
In the early morning dawn
And I found out that was wrong
And I played the losing role
Now I'm standing at your door
Out in the cold again
Out in the cold again
I didn't know just what was going on
Behind my back for so long
People that couldn't tell right from wrong
Now I'm standing here all alone
Out in the cold again
Out in the cold again
Travelled up and down all around the world
Just to get to nowhere
In the final round I found
How many people really did care
And every time I try talking to you
You don't hear what I'm going through
In this dog eat dog world I'm in
It's a crying shame and it's a sin
To be out in the cold again
To be out in the cold again
Travelled up and down, up and down, up and down
Just to end up nowhere, end up nowhere
In the final round I found
Many people did care
And then they welcome me back home
Right back into the fold
But I'm still out, still out here on a limb
I'm on the outside just looking in
Out in the cold again
Out in the cold again
Out in the cold again
In between the times where it feels alright
To the cold black night
In between the times where it feels alright
To the dead of the cold black night
In between the dusk and the dawn
And the cold black night
Trying not to get too uptight
Trying not to show the strain
Having to hide my pain
In between the times where it feels a little bit right
In the day, in the cold black night
In the early morning dawn

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.
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."
