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.
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be San Simeon
They try to rob me
Take away my integrity now
They try to snake me
Take away my dignity
But not my memory
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be San Simeon
They try to blame me
Point their little fingers at me
They try to save me
But that just masks their jealousy
But not my memory
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be San Simeon
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
San Simeon
No matter what they say
What they do to me
They can't touch me
They can't control me
One thing that they'll never touch
My holy memory
No, not my memory
Now take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Now take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Wherever I go, I'll stay
And my mind will always be
Wherever I go, I'll stay
And my mind will always be
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be
San Simeon
My mind will always be
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be San Simeon
They try to rob me
Take away my integrity now
They try to snake me
Take away my dignity
But not my memory
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be San Simeon
They try to blame me
Point their little fingers at me
They try to save me
But that just masks their jealousy
But not my memory
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be San Simeon
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
San Simeon
No matter what they say
What they do to me
They can't touch me
They can't control me
One thing that they'll never touch
My holy memory
No, not my memory
Now take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Now take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Wherever I go, I'll stay
And my mind will always be
Wherever I go, I'll stay
And my mind will always be
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
this song fucking rules, what else is there to say?
What the hell is it about? I mean, obviously, san simeon, but why did john (?) write this about it? did he grow up there? I went to ss recently and it has nothing but hotels and restaurants. Purely a tourist town. It boggles me why he'd write this about it.
I agree, Phyxius. What the hell happened in San Simeon. He calls it a "holy memory," like the place of some great revelation. Weird.
I'm not sure, but I think San Simeon is the town in which William Randolph Hearst built his biggest estate, and maybe this song is about his downfall? I'm not sure, but hell, why not?
Maybe John he had some kind of breakthrough or inspriration there or something. Maybe he just went there once and enjoyed it, that's a possibility.
Love this song. I don't know what importance San Simeon has to the writer, but you can basically substitute "San Simeon" for any time, place, person, whatever. We all have things that we've had to leave behind but still mean the world to us.
You know, I looked up San Simeon, and did you know it's also a scenic Vista State Park?
I have a feeling that he's referring to the beauty of it.
On the live album he says that it is his favorite city in California. I don't know much about the city, and wiki doesn't have any bio on Feldman. My guess is that it's where he grew up, but only a guess. A lot of artists came from places where the people didn't understand what their art was, but still it's their home so they miss it. Eh? Long shot, but it's how I take it.
I've always imagined (knowing there's nothing in the long to literally lead me to this conclusion) that John believes that he is the reincarnation of William Randolph Hearst.
I always thought he should play that up for some publicity; It would be fun for everyone involved.
OOOOHHH its San Simeon as in the city. I thought it was the Sam Simeon as in the the comic book charecter who is a detective and a monkey. Yea that makes a lot more sense.
