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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

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.
This is one of my fave Megadeth songs, instrumentals rule guitars have a way more interesting sound that someones voice
it is a religious song. it symbolizes the angels descent into hell. that is what mustaine says
unbelieveable speed here
very good instrumental.
This is great instrumental, Mustaine's always been great at them (see absolution or call of ktulu for other examples). No idea what it's about, but then it's kinda hard with no lyrics. Always had a military sort of feel to it for me, mainly coz of the cavalry bugles at the start and the (possible) reference to the charge of the light brigade in the title.
the solos, those beautiful solos and yes, it's like angles marching down to hell for a battle is it me or does the third theme/riff sound as if the guitars are screaming "into the lungs of hell"? the phrasing in the guitars matches the phonetics of the title but those solos they come in and out
it took me months to nail down all the guitar parts of this album, but it was worth it
That tapping thing they do in the middle or something sounds like something rom Metroid:D
The taping bit sounds soooo good. There is alot of taping in so far, so good...so what
such a cool start to sfsgsw
is it wrong that my fav megadeth song is an instrumental? dave's a much better guitarist than a singer imo. You gotta luv when those triplet thingys on the guitar kick in too.
