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.
And I pray salvation leaves you here
again
And if I swear for you, I've seen the end
I bear
This weight
For you
And now if seems to me
Every time that I try
To give you peace of mind,
You go and question why.
Some things you just should know
That it was yours to show
It's like I feel this way
Because I'm wanted to.
"and I pray for"
Weight
All of the weight
Can't stand the weight
Crushing
Pushing down on me
You can't seem to see
What's left in me
And now I
I bear
This weight
For you
The pressure grates on me
Yet I am loathe to find
Some sort of middle ground
To work at compromise.
You'll never understand
What all this does to to me
I'm keeping you alive,
And yet it's killing me.
And I pray salvation leaves you here
again
And if I swear for you, I've seen the
end
Weight
All of the weight
Can't stand the weight
Crushing
Pushing down on me
You
Can't seem to see
What's left in me
And now I
Never - I won't
Compromise it - I won't
Take for granted - I won't
Give up on it - I won't
Idolize it - I must
Keep my focus - I must
Sacrifice us - I must
Never let go - I must
Not fall
again
And if I swear for you, I've seen the end
I bear
This weight
For you
And now if seems to me
Every time that I try
To give you peace of mind,
You go and question why.
Some things you just should know
That it was yours to show
It's like I feel this way
Because I'm wanted to.
"and I pray for"
Weight
All of the weight

Crushing

You can't seem to see

Yet I am loathe to find
Some sort of middle ground
To work at compromise.
You'll never understand
What all this does to to me

And yet it's killing me.
And I pray salvation leaves you here

I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
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.
Since no one actually posted a meaning here i guess i have to do it.
This song is about someone who provides for another person/people with the expectation that this person is the sole provider and the other side gives nothing, doesnt appreciate any of the provisions given, and they also question the methods that they are provided for without willing to provide for themselves and make change for themselves. It does not only apply to a relationship between lovers as so many of you seem to want to tag to all songs these days. It could be any kind of relationship. It could be friendship, family etc. One person is burdened with the problems of others who never seem to understand that the one providing for them might have his own problems that he juggles on his/her shoulders as well as theirs. Or they just dont care. The provider wants to find some middle ground but there is no compromise from the other side. At the end he is forced to sacrifice the relationship before becoming lost and drained and eventually his soul killed by the receiver.
@evilspleen - YES! Here I am replying over 4 years later, I know. I looked this song up because Google Play selected it for me, I've always loved DKL, and this song made me think of my marriage, as it stands. My wife lost her job awhile back, but refuses to look for new work, and I very much feel the WEIGHT of the added responsibility. I do absolutely feel taken for granted, and it's actually worse than that, but this is not a space for my biography. Essentially, I think you are spot-on.
