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.
Stuck here
In the middle of no where
With a headache
And a heavy heart
Oh well nothing
Was going quite right here
And I'm tired
I can't play no part
Come on come on
Oh what a stake
I'm in
Come on come on
Why won't it just
Sake in
The help is just around the corner
For us
Oh my head
Just won't stop achin'
I'm sat here lickin' my ruins
I'm shattered
But I really doesn't matter
'Cause my rescue is gonna be here soon
Come on come on
Oh what a stake
I'm in
Come on come on
Why won't it just
Sake in
The help is just around the corner
For us
The help is just around the corner
For us
Oh the help is just around the corner
For us
In the middle of no where
With a headache
And a heavy heart
Oh well nothing
Was going quite right here
And I'm tired
I can't play no part
Come on come on
Oh what a stake
I'm in
Come on come on
Why won't it just
Sake in
The help is just around the corner
For us
Oh my head
Just won't stop achin'
I'm sat here lickin' my ruins
I'm shattered
But I really doesn't matter
'Cause my rescue is gonna be here soon
Come on come on
Oh what a stake
I'm in
Come on come on
Why won't it just
Sake in
The help is just around the corner
For us
The help is just around the corner
For us
Oh the help is just around the corner
For us

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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"
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
I can't believe no one has commented on this song yet. It's so awesome.
Obviously, it's a guy at wit's end. He's burned out, strung out, and doesn't know what to do. He's just clinging to the hope that, as the title says, help is just around the corner. I think having the song be just Chris and the guitar makes it so much more personal and emotional. You can just hear the desperation in his voice, the pleading for some relief, even if only for a short while.
I first heard this song in the MTV movie "Wasted," about the high school students in Plano, TX who died of heroin overdoses. They play it right as the clean kid track-star is about to overdose on his first ingestion of heroin (sorry if I ruined it for you).
Anyway, it's one of my all-time favourites.
yeah, more posts needed on this one. I think song perfectly describes feeling totaly dejected and not being able to do anything but sit there and think how badly its all gone wrong. Even the thought of help is not comforting, whatever that help may be.
i thought of the "help just around the corner" as death. if he kills himself, there will be no more pain. that's a whole lot better than what he's going through now.
i think he's trying to convince himself that things are going to be ok... whether for himself, or "us" as in maybe the human race as a whole. but he's not really sure. and thats why he's trying to convince himself. "why wont it just sink in?". but he has his doubts.
This song is the most beautiful song I've ever heard! I love Coldplay and this song... I think that this is NOT a sad song, because help is just round the corner!!! I know these emotions.
I like the fact that you can hear traffic at the end - probably Lonodn trafiic. It shows the song was recorded in an intimate studio, which gives it that feel.
very nice. atmospheric and a message gets across.
very nice. atmospheric and a message gets across.
its all about this man who is waiting for something to come around the corner and save him. he has obvioulsy got nothing left going for him he has either lost someone or everything. OR this song is about him and his girl who have been through so much and now they arent together but he hasnt given up hope and help is around the corner for them. either way its a beautiful song and its a shame its only a b-side track and that not many people will know its beauty.
I think he may be talking about God. Help is just around the corner for us, with "us" signifying the human race as well as ourselves as individuals, in the form of salvation after death, be that soon in the future or far off. Just my take.
