The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Are you missing us
maybe wanting to be kissing us
and if you must, please don’t be dismissing us
and when we’re gone, bailin' on the bus
Are we immersed in a sea of replicants
hard exteriors and fake gold fronts
loosing yourself in the flavor of the month
gotta be a better reason to colonize a star
gotta be a better reason man’s come so far
Is that you in the mama-ocean-people-sea
is that you in this dream as see waving at me
closer with one hand, while the other shields your eyes
as if surprised to see the universe begin
Being up on the mindspin
are you still glad that it has been
six years and seven months
this is want you want, don’t front
I’m feelin’ it right now
in this, the gold hour
part clock and part man
reconciling my life span
Keeps things whole
we move out of the space where air flows
when all of a sudden
here we are, and here we go
The evolutionary mind
turns twist backflips
in space-time the continuum
real-life planetarium
It’s a natural fact
time is speeding up there isn’t much left
heart rate increasing
bustin' through your chest, compressed
Is your life in the physical
but out of memory
comes a vision which is a miracle
yeah, that
Normally we just can’t see
it’s not natural or typical
of our same old thing
livin' too fast, unable to grasp the past
or the future when at last we ripple
after our big splash
Being up on the mindspin
are you still glad that it has been
six years and seven months
this is want you want, don’t front
I’m feelin’ it right now
in this, the gold hour
part clock and part man
reconciling my life span
You remain
and refrain
from the pain
of wasted time
last thing on my mind is
running high
fuel supply
reason why
we just don’t quit
can you get with
a melding of two minds
what's the worst thing you could find
a paper trail
that prevails
in demystification
people
want to believe
in mysteries
people
want to believe
in mysteries
is the truth so bad?
is the truth so bad?
is the truth so bad?
is the truth so bad?

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
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.

@[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.
This is my favorite 311 song, and I can't do it justice with a lengthy interpretation (also I'm at work :-X). About the 6 years and 7 months, let's do some calculations. I've always been curious about this and have a theory which I will look up right now. Soundsystem was released October '99, and Music was released March '93 (all this according to wikipedia, so I don't know exactly how accurate it is and I'm too lazy to look it up). 99-93 = six years, 10-3 = seven months. There you have it, 6 years and 7 months =)
That's kind of what I thought it might be referencing. Thanks for doing the math flashdrc
