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.
Cold as the northern winds
In December morning,
Cold is the cry that rings
From this far distant shore
Winter has come to land
Too close beside me
How can I chase away
All these fears deep inside?
I'll wait the signs to come
I'll find a way
I will wait the time to come
I'll find a way home
My light shall be the moon
And my path - the ocean
My guide the morning star
As I sail home to you
I'll wait the signs to come
I'll find a way
I will wait the time to come
I'll find a way home
My light shall be the moon
And my path - the ocean
My guide the morning star
As I sail home to you
Who then can warm my soul?
Who can quell my passion?
Out of these dreams - a boat
I will sail home to you
In December morning,
Cold is the cry that rings
From this far distant shore
Winter has come to land
Too close beside me
How can I chase away
All these fears deep inside?
I'll wait the signs to come
I'll find a way
I will wait the time to come
I'll find a way home
My light shall be the moon
And my path - the ocean
My guide the morning star
As I sail home to you
I'll wait the signs to come
I'll find a way
I will wait the time to come
I'll find a way home
My light shall be the moon
And my path - the ocean
My guide the morning star
As I sail home to you
Who then can warm my soul?
Who can quell my passion?
Out of these dreams - a boat
I will sail home to you

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.
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"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction

Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
For me, this has always been about being wrenched away from the place you love, the desperate loneliness of knowing you will probably never see the people you left behind ever again... and that small grain of hope that you might. When it happened to me, this was the song that kept me going.
@6Yankee I've been there, and still feel the pain 60 years later.....
In this, I see two lovers seperated by time and space, who long only for each other's touch (perhaps, Romeo & Juliet?) One has been sent away, and the others waits for his/her return. A real tear jerker for me, especially if you've seen the video.
i love this song. has anybody read the books by Diana Gabaldon, called Cross Stich and then going on through to the Fiery Cross? if you have then ull know what i mean about it reminding me of these books. its ;ike what 6yankee said, she got wrenched away from her home, time and place. brilliant books and beautiful song
It reminds me of being lost and wanting to be found but finding your way back is more a challenge then once thought but still you trudge on. Also I keep thinking of the TITANCI and 9-11 when I hear this.
Cool, I'm not the only one who thinks of "Titanic" when I hear this song! The song came out in 1989 or so, but I heard it for the first time right around when "Titanic" came out. I always equated the lyrics to the story, b/c the lyrics make me think of someone who is lost at sea at night and trying to find home and the one they love. I wish that they had used this song somewhere in the movie -like right before Rose decides to kill herself or after Jack dies, or at the end where Old Rose is dropping the necklace and dreaming of Jack.
I didn't mean to submit 3 times, my pc locked up!
I agree with the being forced to leave the place you love theory.
