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.
Y'know sometimes, sometimes I feel so
tired
I can't eat I can't sleep
So tired
The pressure builds and builds
Seems like there's no release
The things I see go unnoticed by some
But fill my eyes with horror
Anger, and guilt, and frustration, and
depression
Makes waking up every day harder and
harder
I work my fingers to the bone just to
survive
I gotta get monev so I can have a home
So I can breathe, eat and live in this
society
I don't even like money
And I gotta work every day just to feed
myself
God it makes me sick
l just wanna curl up into a hole and die
This… this isn't worth it!
I need a raise man!
I can't survive on this pay anymore!
I can't live on this!
I'm hungry, and I'm frustrated
And I can't eat, dammit!
God! I look for you to help, and I don't
see no help
And I see no thoughts, no looks, no
praise!
You don't care, you don't love me!
I only love myself
No one will love me like I love me
Life's been swell, now I want to die
My body, it hurts me, sigh after sigh
I call it torture, you call it life
A slave to money and everything I despise
Like everyone in general
Fuck, eat, sleep, destroy
Just about the only things you fucking enjoy
I am a disposable being
who will fuck all life
I multiply and the air get thinner and dirty
I take up space, I smell, I consume
But I produce nothing, I abuse
I have no reason to exist
The toilet's clogged in this world of shit
I breathe filth everyday
Living fucks up my brain
Why? Why did I wake up today
My eyes are heavy
Why? Why must I see this face
Your life is ugly
Why?
Why must I buy these things?
I don't want them
Tension. Tension. Frustration. Alone.
Tension. Despair. Tension.
All these pressures on my life.

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"

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
i really dont know any other song that sums up my life everyday better.
This is a great song, I wish it had the part where he's talking at the beginning though, there's a few parts of that where it gets pretty hard to understand him.
fuck yeah that is the best part!!!
fuck yeah that is the best part!!! ^
If there is a "God" out there "God" should just flush the toilet.
Dystopia should've said some shit like that.
Anthem to my life.
I am so tired, Sometimes I feel so tired, I can't eat I can't sleep. So tired. The pressure builds and builds. Seems like theres no release. The things I see go unnoticed by some. Fills my eyes and heart. Anger and guilt and frustration, And depression makes waking up every day harder and harder. Where's my fitness to the world with my chance to survive. I got to get money so I can have a home. So I can breathe, eat and live in this society. I don't even like money, And I got to work everyday just to feed myself. God it makes me sick. I just wanna curl up into a hole and die in this. This isn't worth it. I need a raise man! I can't survive on this faith anymore. I can't live on this, I'm hungry, And I've had service, And I can't eat daddy. God I am the creator of hell. And I have seen all hell, And I have seen no arms, no limbs no brains. You don't care, you don't love me! I only love myself. No one will love me like I love thee.
