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.
Give me a break
From your take and your take
Come on and give me a break
What do you want from me
Feeding the rich
With that son of a bitch
Well that son of a bitch
He looks just like me
Thanks for nothing
Absolutely nothing
Thanks for all your bullshit too
Thanks for nothing
Positively nothing
Thanks for everything you didn't do
Thanks
Something for free
You got something from me
You want something for free
What do you want from me
Give me a break
With your take and your take
Come on and give me a break
What do you want from me
Yea, yea, yea
Thanks,
Yea, yea, yea
Thanks!!!
From your take and your take
Come on and give me a break
What do you want from me
Feeding the rich
With that son of a bitch
Well that son of a bitch
He looks just like me
Thanks for nothing
Absolutely nothing
Thanks for all your bullshit too
Thanks for nothing
Positively nothing
Thanks for everything you didn't do
Thanks
Something for free
You got something from me
You want something for free
What do you want from me
Give me a break
With your take and your take
Come on and give me a break
What do you want from me
Yea, yea, yea
Thanks,
Yea, yea, yea
Thanks!!!

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.

@[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.
No Surprises

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.
Im still leaning towards what Cactus said unless im proving wrong =]
Maybe cos ive related like that to someone before, and this song seems to fit perfectly.
And maybe for the "Feeding the rich With that son of a bitch Well that son of a bitch He looks just like me"
Could suggest hes been used in one way or another for others and had no appriciation for his work? Not overly sure, its late and thats what comes to mind ;P
Buttt yeah at the end of the day i think just listen to what FukAuthority said and interprite it your own way.
It's about being in a relationship where you're always on the giving end, putting a stop to it, then thanking the ungrateful fuck for all they did for you. Nothing.
i agree to both. this is a song that is purely opinion about how it makes YOU feel.
the title says it all. but it`s an awesome song
Nah, I agree with cwsbabygirl. The line "Well that son of a bitch He looks just like me" Gives it away in my opinion.
Songs about a famioly member possibly his father, or someone in his life who he helps constantly and the person does nothing for him. The line
"Feeding the rich With that son of a bitch Well that son of a bitch He looks just like me"
Probably means that the person he helps has the potential to help themselves just fine but makes Edsel do it so the man doesn't have to waste his time helping himself. So Edsels singing "This son of bitch failure who can barely help himself is letting this rich guy take advantage" So hes saying he looks in the mirror and realizes that son of a bitch looks just like me? It is me. So he ends his relationship with the said person and leaves them with "Thanks for nothing, oh and all your bullshit too"
the line "feeding the rich" makes me think they could be talking about the government?
like taxes and shit. just a suggestion tho.
To me this song is about a materialistic girlfriend who is given everything, the singer is identifying himself as a son of a bitch in retrospect for contributing to this in the first place, the girl doesn't realize how good she has it, and doesn't give anything back. So when it's all over he's looking back on it saying thanks for nothing. People get blinded by love. On both sides. Someone could be taking advantage of you and they may not even realize it because they're using money and material things to fill a void in the relationship.
No your retard, the song is about looking back on his life, and being a screw up. "He looks just like me" Jesus don't you people read or listen? He's talking about a side of him thats bought out when he's angered.
