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.
You were my halogen, guiding me home
My only weapon when I was alone
You were a big city, one I got lost in
And when you spoke with me, I fell open
I fell open
But did you know that cost when you broke your promise?
(I was unprepared)
That when your bombs went off they would come down on us
I was a knife in a gunfight
And I fought so madly
You were a wolf in the daylight
And you almost had me
And you almost had me
I thought you were showing all your colors
But you were in sheep's clothing
The mind of another
Can a slave preach freedom?
Can a captive take hold of what they believe in?
But did you know that cost when you broke your promise?
(I was unprepared)
That when your bombs went off they would come down on us
I was a knife in a gunfight
And I fought so madly
You were a wolf in the daylight
And you almost had me
With a blindside
And it hurt so badly
You were a wolf in the daylight
And you almost had me
I guess I knew when your heart stop beating
I'd never let you sink your teeth in
I guess I knew when your heart stop beating
I'd never let you sink your teeth in
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh (you almost had me)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh (and you almost had me)
I guess I know when your heart stop beating (oh, oh, oh)
And you almost had me
I guess I knew when your heart stop beating (oh, oh, oh)
I was a knife in a gunfight
And I fought so madly
You were a wolf in the daylight
And you almost had me
My only weapon when I was alone
You were a big city, one I got lost in
And when you spoke with me, I fell open
I fell open
But did you know that cost when you broke your promise?
(I was unprepared)
That when your bombs went off they would come down on us
I was a knife in a gunfight
And I fought so madly
You were a wolf in the daylight
And you almost had me
And you almost had me
I thought you were showing all your colors
But you were in sheep's clothing
The mind of another
Can a slave preach freedom?
Can a captive take hold of what they believe in?
But did you know that cost when you broke your promise?
(I was unprepared)
That when your bombs went off they would come down on us
I was a knife in a gunfight
And I fought so madly
You were a wolf in the daylight
And you almost had me
With a blindside
And it hurt so badly
You were a wolf in the daylight
And you almost had me
I guess I knew when your heart stop beating
I'd never let you sink your teeth in
I guess I knew when your heart stop beating
I'd never let you sink your teeth in
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh (you almost had me)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh (and you almost had me)
I guess I know when your heart stop beating (oh, oh, oh)
And you almost had me
I guess I knew when your heart stop beating (oh, oh, oh)
I was a knife in a gunfight
And I fought so madly
You were a wolf in the daylight
And you almost had me

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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
The song is about coming to terms that the person you trusted & idolized is actually no good for you. That they only have their own best interests at the forefront of their decisions and don't care how their actions will effect others. And going into the situation naïve, and therefore unprepared, is essentially like showing up to a gunfight with a knife. It's so much harder to turn away from someone you trust, cared about, or even love. It's about almost losing yourself in this bad/negative relationship because your feelings have blinded you to the fact that they're manipulating & hurting you. But in the end, even though it was a hard fight, you made it through. You recognize that you deserve better & are strong enough to move forward without that person in your life.
