He certainly did earn that reputation.
I was lost
And you were found
You seemed to stand on solid ground
I was weak
And you were strong
And me and my guitar,
we strummed along, oh
[Chorus]
Sweet misery you cause me
That's what you called me
Sweet misery you cause me
I was blind
But oh, how you could see
You saw the beauty in everything, everything and me
I would cry
And you would smile
You'd stay with me a little while
[Chorus]
And in my heart I see, oh
What you're doing to me
And in my heart I see, oh
Just how you wanted it to be
Sweet misery
Oh, whoa
[Chorus]
And in my heart I see, oh
What you're doing to me
And in my heart I see, oh
Just how you wanted it to be
Sweet misery
I was weak
And you were strong
And me and my guitar,
we strummed along
And you were found
You seemed to stand on solid ground
I was weak
And you were strong
And me and my guitar,
we strummed along, oh
[Chorus]
Sweet misery you cause me
That's what you called me
Sweet misery you cause me
I was blind
But oh, how you could see
You saw the beauty in everything, everything and me
I would cry
And you would smile
You'd stay with me a little while
[Chorus]
And in my heart I see, oh
What you're doing to me
And in my heart I see, oh
Just how you wanted it to be
Sweet misery
Oh, whoa
[Chorus]
And in my heart I see, oh
What you're doing to me
And in my heart I see, oh
Just how you wanted it to be
Sweet misery
I was weak
And you were strong
And me and my guitar,
we strummed along

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.

Mountain Song
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."
i looooove this song. its been my favorite for a while now, as you can tell by my username, haha. michelle is such an amazing writer and singer and I have no idea why she isn't more popular.
anyway, i've always thought this song was about a shy, lonely girl who falls in what she thinks is love for the first time, but it's with a guy who puts her down and makes her feel bad about herself to make himself feel good. at first he appeared "strong" while she was "weak" and he "seemed to stand on solid ground," meaning he seemed so put together, and she needed someone like that. he's screwing with her, and she knows what he's doing, but she feels like she needs him, so she doesn't do anything.
