Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
As I stand here I ponder greater things
No longer a part of
A part of your lover's dreams
So much for your
Common complications
So much for your
Constant desperation
For what's to come
It's all been written
Down written down
But I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
I feel so alive now
And I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
As I sit here I'll tell you greater things
No longer a part of
A part of someone else's dreams
So much for your
Common escalations
So much for your
Constant fabrications
For what's to come
It's all been written down, down, down
I said for what's to come
For what's to come your way
It's all been written
Down, written down
But I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come I said
I feel so alive now
And I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
Keep on time
Keep on time
You run along
Keep on child
Keep on child
You move along
Keep on my time now
I run around for you
Keep on time
Keep on time
You run along
Keep on child
Keep on child
You push it on
Keep on my time now
I run around for you
You don't know yet
You don't know yet
You don't know yet
But you'll feel it in your soul
You don't know yet
But you feel it in your soul
As I lay here I want to fall asleep
No longer
No longer a part of your TV screen
A part of your TV dream
I said so much for your
So much for your common complications
So much for your
So much for your constant desperation
For what's to come it's all been written
Down, written down
But I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come I said
I feel so alive now
And I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
No longer a part of
A part of your lover's dreams
So much for your
Common complications
So much for your
Constant desperation
For what's to come
It's all been written
Down written down
But I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
I feel so alive now
And I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
As I sit here I'll tell you greater things
No longer a part of
A part of someone else's dreams
So much for your
Common escalations
So much for your
Constant fabrications
For what's to come
It's all been written down, down, down
I said for what's to come
For what's to come your way
It's all been written
Down, written down
But I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come I said
I feel so alive now
And I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
Keep on time
Keep on time
You run along
Keep on child
Keep on child
You move along
Keep on my time now
I run around for you
Keep on time
Keep on time
You run along
Keep on child
Keep on child
You push it on
Keep on my time now
I run around for you
You don't know yet
You don't know yet
You don't know yet
But you'll feel it in your soul
You don't know yet
But you feel it in your soul
As I lay here I want to fall asleep
No longer
No longer a part of your TV screen
A part of your TV dream
I said so much for your
So much for your common complications
So much for your
So much for your constant desperation
For what's to come it's all been written

I feel so alive now
And I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate

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
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.
this song fufilled my harsh summer. although this has been a track that i feel i can strongly relate to, i'm still a little stumped on what it's really about. here's a guess
i think it strongly follows the ebb and flow of of an off-again, on-again type relationship. someone might be ready to give up on you, maybe they're seeing other people but still unwillingly bringing you along for the ride. "As I stand here I ponder greater things, No longer a part of your lover's dreams" "No longer a part of your TV screen, TV dreams" (I always thought he said "diva screams" here haha but guess I was wrong) etc. along with the"common complications/constant desperation/common escalations/constant fabrication" is when he's attempting to let go, shift harsh blame, pick out the negatives of the other and proceed through the misery, etc. we all know that stage of a breakup. but he definitely still loves her, and because he keeps going back and forth between "you"&"me" - i think that he keeps getting back together with her and things keep going wrong. "for what's to come - it's all been pretend, i feel that a change is gonna come, i feel so alive" is his desire to overcome these struggles with said chick and move on into a better period of the relationship. he wants her to keep working even though their both struggling with finding a common path. but he keeps feeling that things are going to be better, could be better - he's seen it in flashes during this period and whenever she gets back with him he tries harder to make it work and feels even more alive before she dumps him again. "keep on time, you run around, you move along, you push it on, keep on my time now - i run around for you, you don't know yet - but you feel it in your soul" this is him wanting her to push harder for a better, overall change because he definitely is. she can't feel how hard he's been working to improve things/situations, and can't yet see the benefits of coming back to the relationship full time. sounds like he's hooked, wants what he used to have with this girl, she's moved on, is using him and doesn't see the benefits he sees of putting in effort towards something better with him.
what do you guys think? fucking unbelievable album, this is one of my favorite tracks.
