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 blessed, I am a witch
And I float above everyone who would do harm on me
They crane their necks
They call me a bitch
For using my powers at a party
I don't wanna spend another night in jail
For possessing the skills which I learned to defend myself
What if I say I'm one in five
Grown accustomed to violence
Can I levitate past it?
On the ground, my tongue's too honest
I don't want to love you
I don't want to love you
I don't want to spend another night in jail
For hiding the truth which I did to defend myself
[Chorus]
I don't want to love you
I don't want to love you
I don't want to love you
I don't want to love you
I don't want to love you
I don't want to love you
I don't want to love you
I don't want to love you
Oh, I wanted to be
In a portrait of love, but there's food in your teeth
Oh, I wanted to be
An example of love, but my spell's getting weak
Oh, now I can see
That he won't stop running, won't stop running from me
Oh, now I can see
That he won't stop running, won't stop running from me
[Chorus]
I don't want to love you
I don't want to love you
But I'm not a mind reader
Nor still the coyote ripping at your throat
I'm not the one you feel you owe your sorries to
Along the wilted heather
He shook me by the feather in my cloak
It's now, or it's for never
Even if you're sorry
Sorry as a snake
As a snake can be
I'm blessed with perfect pitch
I waste it on songs that you never even heard of
I'm not gonna spend another night in jail
I know I'll survive
And I don't need your belief or your help
No I don't need your belief or your help
Oh, I wanted to be
In a portrait of love but you're running from me
And I float above everyone who would do harm on me
They crane their necks
They call me a bitch
For using my powers at a party
I don't wanna spend another night in jail
For possessing the skills which I learned to defend myself
What if I say I'm one in five
Grown accustomed to violence
Can I levitate past it?
On the ground, my tongue's too honest
I don't want to love you
I don't want to love you
I don't want to spend another night in jail
For hiding the truth which I did to defend myself
[Chorus]
I don't want to love you
I don't want to love you
I don't want to love you
I don't want to love you
I don't want to love you
I don't want to love you
I don't want to love you
I don't want to love you
Oh, I wanted to be
In a portrait of love, but there's food in your teeth
Oh, I wanted to be
An example of love, but my spell's getting weak
Oh, now I can see
That he won't stop running, won't stop running from me
Oh, now I can see
That he won't stop running, won't stop running from me
[Chorus]
I don't want to love you
I don't want to love you
But I'm not a mind reader
Nor still the coyote ripping at your throat
I'm not the one you feel you owe your sorries to
Along the wilted heather
He shook me by the feather in my cloak
It's now, or it's for never
Even if you're sorry
Sorry as a snake
As a snake can be
I'm blessed with perfect pitch
I waste it on songs that you never even heard of
I'm not gonna spend another night in jail
I know I'll survive
And I don't need your belief or your help
No I don't need your belief or your help
Oh, I wanted to be
In a portrait of love but you're running from me

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
