Crashing down on consensus. It's the vice that kills defenses. Piercing through sort of feeling. It only hurts if I let it take
control of me. Won't let the world weigh me down. Cause I'm coming alive. What's the deal with life lessons? If you can't
forget regret them. Taught to fold under pressure. Failure doesn't mean you have to die. Won't let the world weigh me down.
Cause I'm coming alive. Just how many are there on my side. A calendar filled up with sleepless nights. Keeps time. Afraid of
what it may have left behind. Who cares? I've thought about it all too many times. What's worse? Is that my self-esteem suffers
a curse. That tries to kill me but I kill it first. I'm coming alive, alive through you. Today I found a friend in who I am. Who
promises to be there 'till the end, of what? When it's over will it start again? Can't worry about it or life becomes too crowded.
With panic. I'll panic and then I'll start to doubt it, it's not worth it. So fuck it. Not gonna walk around it. I'll face it. I'll smash
it. I'm not gonna lose again. I'm coming alive through you.

    to me it means to live and not worry that you're wasting your time or not pleasing everyone. life is short but you don't have to freak out and try to be a hero. not to be cliche but basically be yourself, and don't worry so much about the next world that you spend your time in this one worrying. you can drive yourself crazy thinking too much.

    i agree with redandbluejeans, but i think it's more about rebelling against someone holding you down, and in doing so you are "coming alive"

    I love this song. I agree, it's pretty much about telling everything that's pressuring you to fuck it. Take control of your life and be who you want to fucking be, regardless of outside forces.

    Come alive through yourself.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.
