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.
Sometimes I wish that I could be
The person that you are
Just for a minute, only enough
That I can break your heart
Can you even comprehend
Or did you even understand
A single word that I've said?
I wonder why you do the things
That, boy, you do to me
I can't imagine why
You treated me so horribly
Are you listening to me
Are you trying to ignore me
Do I stutter when I speak?
What ya gonna go, baby
What ya gonna say
I'm cutting you loose
'Cause I got no time for you
As a matter a fact, I won't look back
I don't want you, I don't need you
So let me tell you where its at
I'm through with you
Did ya understand that?
CHORUS:
I don't want you
I don't need you
So let me tell you where its at
I'm through with you
Can ya understand that
I don't want you
I don't love you
So hit the road Jack
'Cause I'm through with you
Did ya understand that
Ohh... sometimes I wish
That you could be the person that I am
So you can get inside exactly
Where(?) I'm feel it
Baby, then you'd understand
How to treat a lady
And to be a real man
You can't imagine what I think of
When I think of you
I see a sucka, not the person
That I thought I knew
Will you ever comprehend, no
Baby, you can keep it going
But I can't pretend
CHORUS
(I used to be the) I used to be
(Only girl that you lived for)
That you lived for
You didn't need nothing more
Jaded and so confused
When I'm around you
(When I'm around you)
What has this got to do
CHORUS 2X
The person that you are
Just for a minute, only enough
That I can break your heart
Can you even comprehend
Or did you even understand
A single word that I've said?
I wonder why you do the things
That, boy, you do to me
I can't imagine why
You treated me so horribly
Are you listening to me
Are you trying to ignore me
Do I stutter when I speak?
What ya gonna go, baby
What ya gonna say
I'm cutting you loose
'Cause I got no time for you
As a matter a fact, I won't look back
I don't want you, I don't need you
So let me tell you where its at
I'm through with you
Did ya understand that?
CHORUS:
I don't want you
I don't need you
So let me tell you where its at
I'm through with you
Can ya understand that
I don't want you
I don't love you

'Cause I'm through with you
Did ya understand that
Ohh... sometimes I wish

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
Holiday

@[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."
This song is great. What it says to me is that a girl is fed up with her relationship, and is ready to walk away and never regret it.
Wonderful song. I love it! It lacks originality but has one of the best music videos which fits it like a glove. Mainly I love the song because I've been in the same situation in which I want to just tell someone I'm through with them and I don't want to devote myself to them anymore! Enough is enough!
She totally kicks ass, I mean - what a powerful lady!!!! Go Willa!!!!
