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.
Sitting at the edge of the bed
One million thoughts as I reflect.
Tease me just a little I'm not hard to persuade
fully aware for this that I might pay.
Not too much that can be said
Thinking about the bad things in my head,
Always wondering if what they said was true
Now I'm in the bed with...
Even though she was no stranger,
Chose the one keep me out of danger.
No song and dance just jump right in.
Fought the urge to do it skin to skin
What the hell here I go jump right in
Standing in the doorway of distress
Ask MD, for ways out of this mess,
A wave of panic every time I lose a hair
I believe I'm falling apart but not quite despair.
Turns into this one thing I just can't ignore
Don't know what I am feeling anymore
I guess it's time to end this affair
Like I don't care I don't care.
Fought the urge to do it skin to skin
What the hell here I go jump right in
Even though she was no stranger
Chose the one keep me out of danger
No song and dance I took my chances with her
No time to waste.
Just jump right in I said to her
Stand in the doorway of distress
No time to waste just jump right in,
Fought the urge to do it skin to skin
What the hell here I go jump right in
One million thoughts as I reflect.
Tease me just a little I'm not hard to persuade
fully aware for this that I might pay.
Not too much that can be said
Thinking about the bad things in my head,
Always wondering if what they said was true
Now I'm in the bed with...
Even though she was no stranger,
Chose the one keep me out of danger.
No song and dance just jump right in.
Fought the urge to do it skin to skin
What the hell here I go jump right in
Standing in the doorway of distress
Ask MD, for ways out of this mess,
A wave of panic every time I lose a hair
I believe I'm falling apart but not quite despair.
Turns into this one thing I just can't ignore
Don't know what I am feeling anymore
I guess it's time to end this affair
Like I don't care I don't care.
Fought the urge to do it skin to skin
What the hell here I go jump right in
Even though she was no stranger
Chose the one keep me out of danger
No song and dance I took my chances with her
No time to waste.
Just jump right in I said to her
Stand in the doorway of distress
No time to waste just jump right in,
Fought the urge to do it skin to skin
What the hell here I go jump right in

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
this song is actually about 'doin' the wild thing' without protection ('skin to skin') and then finding out that you had contracted HIV. (check the second verse)
has nothing to do with HIV silly.... it has to do with he had sex with a friend of his, his good girlfriend that kept him out of trouble, and he asking his pstchiatrist how to stop being with her, because he is unsure if he likes her more then a friend, he doesnt really want more. Was just supposed to be fun sex and now it's really complicated and he is stressed out.
Been in that same situation and yeah it's prettty bad, but I'd do it all over again, sex was damn good..... eh, lost my friend though ;)
No, Vertigorn, I think it's pretty obviously about the HIV thing. Look at the "Always wondering if what they said was true" line. Rumors about her being HIV+. "A wave of panic every time I lose a hair"...he's talking about being excessively paranoid. In fact the whole second verse fits that theory. "Taking a chance with her", "skin to skin"...
I think it's pretty clearly to do with HIV.
this song is about doin the wild thing...
wow, never thought of the HIV theory, I just thought it was about doin it, makes sence now that I see the lyrics written down
i think that steve is trying to say that he doenst worry about contracting a disease, because disease's are only given to those who are unworthy.
