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.
You wake up to the sound of alarms
And you're driving your fabulous car
Listening to the music that reminds you
You used to be young, you used to be young
And now you're searching for a sign with your name
To define you the king of the game
What will you do when there's nothing left
For you to earn and for you to learn?
So dose me up, once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high rise view, looking down on you
I'm not the one wasting my time
And every culture has its own magazine
And information takes the place of your dreams
Finding ways to fill up the silence
But it's all that you need, turn on your TV
So dose me up, once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high rise view, looking down on you
I'm not the one wasting my time
This is the end of the world news
This is the end of the world news, sponsored by God
So dose me up, once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high rise view, looking down on you
I'm not the one wasting my time
So dose me up, once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high rise view, looking down on you
I'm not the one wasting my time
So dose me up, once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high rise view, looking down on you
I'm not the one wasting my time
So dose me up, once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And you're driving your fabulous car
Listening to the music that reminds you
You used to be young, you used to be young
And now you're searching for a sign with your name
To define you the king of the game
What will you do when there's nothing left
For you to earn and for you to learn?
So dose me up, once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high rise view, looking down on you
I'm not the one wasting my time
And every culture has its own magazine
And information takes the place of your dreams
Finding ways to fill up the silence
But it's all that you need, turn on your TV
So dose me up, once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high rise view, looking down on you
I'm not the one wasting my time
This is the end of the world news
This is the end of the world news, sponsored by God
So dose me up, once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high rise view, looking down on you
I'm not the one wasting my time
So dose me up, once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high rise view, looking down on you
I'm not the one wasting my time
So dose me up, once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high rise view, looking down on you
I'm not the one wasting my time
So dose me up, once is not enough
I can still see the ground

"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.

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.
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/
Its about the pointlessness and futility of modern life and convenience, how we take it all for granted, and we won't be the one to pay the price, the planet will be. The world is ending slowly and he'd rather be dosed up to his eyeballs that see it all happen, and he doesn't want to be able to see the ground and see what's becoming of it and the world beneath his feet
i believe that in this song the author wants to show that the world is going crazy and that he'd rather get high than live in it for real. The title of the song is a pun : in England, one of the most famous newspaper is called "news of the world". So, basically, the song shows how worried about the world the author is.
It's about the beginning of the end. Watching the rot happen from above. The 'sponsored by God' bit got Tom in a bit of trouble after 9-11 (even though the song was written years before). The song wasn't played on most radio stations. It's about how everyone is trying to regain their youth, or be a success at the detriment of everyone and evrything else.
Its much more simple than that.......it is a song about the emptiness of modern life. Its charts the sadness and disappointment of adult life....looking back to when things were cool when you were young through having to live the corporate life. He is basically sticking two fingers up to the monotonous life.....he isn't wasting his time by being a songwriter...though has probably been told such
