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.
Halls of justice painted green
Money talking
Power wolves beset your door
Hear them stalking
Soon you'll please their appetite
They devour
Hammer of justice crushes you overpower
The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe I can't believe the price you pay
Nothing can save you
Justice is lost justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings Justice is done
Seeking no truth winning is all
Find it so grim so true so real
Apathy their stepping stone so unfeeling
Hidden deep animosity so deceiving
Through your eyes their light burns
Hoping to find
Inquisition sinking you with prying minds
The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe I can't believe the price you pay
Nothing can save you
Justice is lost justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings Justice is done
Seeking no truth winning is all
Find it so grim so true so real
Lady justice has been raped truth assassin
Rolls of red tape seal your lips
Now you're done in
Their money tips her scales again Make your deal
Just what is truth I cannot tell Cannot feel
The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe I can't believe the price we pay
Nothing can save us
Justice is lost justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings Justice is done
Seeking no truth winning is all
Find it so grim so true so real
Seeking no truth winning is all
Find it so grim so true so real
Money talking
Power wolves beset your door
Hear them stalking
Soon you'll please their appetite
They devour
Hammer of justice crushes you overpower
The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe I can't believe the price you pay
Nothing can save you
Justice is lost justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings Justice is done
Seeking no truth winning is all
Find it so grim so true so real
Apathy their stepping stone so unfeeling
Hidden deep animosity so deceiving
Through your eyes their light burns
Hoping to find
Inquisition sinking you with prying minds
The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe I can't believe the price you pay
Nothing can save you
Justice is lost justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings Justice is done
Seeking no truth winning is all
Find it so grim so true so real
Lady justice has been raped truth assassin
Rolls of red tape seal your lips
Now you're done in
Their money tips her scales again Make your deal
Just what is truth I cannot tell Cannot feel
The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe I can't believe the price we pay
Nothing can save us
Justice is lost justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings Justice is done
Seeking no truth winning is all
Find it so grim so true so real
Seeking no truth winning is all
Find it so grim so true so real

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Very observent.
More specifically, it contends that the rich are above the law. They need only hire high-priced attorneys to get away with doing whatever they want. Money is the ultimate defense in the American "justice" system.
meanings been well covered. lyrics are so poetic... 'walls of justice painted green',green-money obv. 'apathy their stepping stone' saying the people are made apathetic towards how the system is run, and it allows people to abuse the system, as a stepping stone round law.
lyrics are based on the film in a way rather than just the message - the last lines of the chorus: seeking no truth, winning is all' is how the system appears on the film 'find it so grim, so true, so real' hetfield finds it disgusting, but more importantly that the film is 'so true, so real' and the film mirrors real life.
the guitar solo is to die for! as for the meaning behind this song, the lyrics speak for themselves. it ain't rocket science to figure this song out...
Jigokusabre said it best. This CD if fuckin awesome. Every song gets a "5" rating by me!
the new stuff is average...poor even and it kills me that they had to try and 'keep up with the times' but hey, 4 albums of pure musical gold (everything pre-black album) is enough to keep me listening to metallica every single day.bring back fleming rasmussen to help produce da musik bob rock sux cock.
Well it means DONT TRUST THE GOVERNMENT, or at least rely on it to do everything
woah my posts are still here! yah about time this damn site is back up!
and this song... listening to it is like getting kicked in the face with jackboots.
This song is about taxes and the unfairness of the Government.
Songs clearly about the unfair justice system. Metallica kicks ass!!
