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.

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
One of, if not the most beautiful Pixies songs ever. I heard it was about chasing a pig through a forest with your girlfriend, but I could easily be wrong. A great song to fall asleep to, very peaceful.
Love this song too! Last week we were driving through Sedona, Arizona for the first time and were playing and singing along to this song! Sadly we didn't see any havalinas 😕 but we did see some coyotes, lizards and kangaroo rats. What a beautiful state AZ is!!
The most beautiful song ever.
I see this song as a counterpart to "Caribou" (in that the chorus is simply the repetition of an animal's name, and both songs seem to express envy/reverence for the wild and free nature of their lives).
This song isn't about people at all, it's just a pastoral image of a Javelina wandering about the trees of Sedona, Arizona.
Im pretty sure its Sedona, Arizona. So yeah, this song is pretty self-explanatory.
@Superabound Yes it is Sedona, Arizona
This is a amazing song that really is a overlooked Pixies masterpiece. I think it's about simply just walking along a beach in Arizona enjoying life without worrying about money,jobs etc.
Such a great closer to Bossanova, so simple and pretty...
minor factor, colinf, i don't think there are any beaches in arizona, i think it's landlocked.
One of the best songs ever life is good.
In arizona, the Javelina (a small warthog) is hunted for sport. I think he's referring to that animal in the song. Perhaps he is writing about living out in the wilderness as a Javelina.

There aren't any large beaches in Arizona either. It's mostly desert and plains.
