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.
Hunched over a microphone,
You're whispering and I moan,
Hardly moving, one toe tapping.
In a hushed tone and eyes turned low,
While the space you take up grows,
I grow weak and my heart's collapsing.
Yeah I look at you, you look like shit,
But that's got nothing to do with it,
You open your mouth and a God comes out.
I look at you, you look like shit,
But that's got nothing to do with it,
You open your mouth and a God comes out.
It's two forty-five in the morning,
Being lonely just gets boring,
It's too late now to get wasted.
Yeah it's two forty-five in the morning,
Being lonely just gets boring,
It's too late now to get wasted.
I look at you, you look like shit,
But that's got nothing to do with it,
You open your mouth and a God comes out.
I look at you, you look like shit,
But that's got nothing to do with it,
You open your mouth and a God comes out.
I'm in my room and all alone
You're turned up loud there's no-one home,
You're faceless and my eyes are closed.
I'm in my room and all alone
You're turned up loud there's no-one home,
You're faceless and my eyes are closed.
I look at you, you look like shit,
But that's got nothing to do with it,
You open your mouth and a God comes out.
Yeah I look at you, you look like shit,
But that's got nothing to do with it,
You open your mouth and a God comes out.
You're whispering and I moan,
Hardly moving, one toe tapping.
In a hushed tone and eyes turned low,
While the space you take up grows,
I grow weak and my heart's collapsing.
Yeah I look at you, you look like shit,
But that's got nothing to do with it,
You open your mouth and a God comes out.
I look at you, you look like shit,
But that's got nothing to do with it,
You open your mouth and a God comes out.
It's two forty-five in the morning,
Being lonely just gets boring,
It's too late now to get wasted.
Yeah it's two forty-five in the morning,
Being lonely just gets boring,
It's too late now to get wasted.
I look at you, you look like shit,
But that's got nothing to do with it,
You open your mouth and a God comes out.
I look at you, you look like shit,
But that's got nothing to do with it,
You open your mouth and a God comes out.
I'm in my room and all alone
You're turned up loud there's no-one home,
You're faceless and my eyes are closed.
I'm in my room and all alone
You're turned up loud there's no-one home,
You're faceless and my eyes are closed.

You open your mouth and a God comes out.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
