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.
Robert leads me into thought
Onion layers wait for you
Bounty of eternal fields
Every muscle knot I feel
Robert tell me what to do
Tell exactly what you're not, yeah
Tails pushing grand whales
Heads hope to have the stuff
Each flag had no sail
Can you believe enough?
And though Diana calls to you
She will never never yield
Every siren has her spot
Four hundred million
Oh that was very far
Robert sweet Onion
Makes me feel so tired
Another layer and layers and layer, oh no
Robert can you find your way?
Show me the way to come
Zugzwang got me in a way
Under my opposing thumb
Brandishing my shield
Robert leads me into thought
Into the dimming blue
Nowhere in this world
For this old Jack-Tar
Three cheers for Robert
To the cinnabar one ponders
Layers and layers and layers and
Layers and layers and layers and
Layers and layers and layers and
Layers and layers and layers and
Robert, Robert, Robert
Onion layers wait for you
Bounty of eternal fields
Every muscle knot I feel
Robert tell me what to do
Tell exactly what you're not, yeah
Tails pushing grand whales
Heads hope to have the stuff
Each flag had no sail
Can you believe enough?
And though Diana calls to you
She will never never yield
Every siren has her spot
Four hundred million
Oh that was very far
Robert sweet Onion
Makes me feel so tired
Another layer and layers and layer, oh no
Robert can you find your way?
Show me the way to come
Zugzwang got me in a way
Under my opposing thumb
Brandishing my shield
Robert leads me into thought
Into the dimming blue
Nowhere in this world
For this old Jack-Tar
Three cheers for Robert
To the cinnabar one ponders
Layers and layers and layers and
Layers and layers and layers and
Layers and layers and layers and
Layers and layers and layers and
Robert, Robert, Robert

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Each line's first letter spells out ROBERT THE CASE FOR MARS ZUBRIN.
Robert Zubrin wrote a book called "The Case for Mars" which proposes that humans colonize the red planet.
The actual lyrics of the song seem to express interest in the idea of human travel to Mars. The siren Diana is probably the moon, as Diana is the godess of the moon.
The first words of the last stanza combine to form FOUR THREE TWO ONE. A countdown for launch...
