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.
Lyin' cheatin' hurtin that's all you seem to do
Messin' around with every guy in town
Puttin' me down for thinkin' of someone new
Always the same playin' your game
Drive me insane trouble is gonna come to you
One of these days and it won't be long
You'll look for me but baby I'll be gone
This is all I gotta say to you woman
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Made up my mind to break you this time
Won't be so fine, it's my turn to cry
Do want you want, I won't take the brunt
It's fadin' away, can't feel you anymore
Don't care what you say 'cause I'm goin' away to stay
Gonna make you pay for that great big hole in my heart
People talkin' all around
Watch out woman, no longer
Is the joke gonna be on my heart
You been bad to me woman
But it's coming back home to you
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come

Messin' around with every guy in town
Puttin' me down for thinkin' of someone new
Always the same playin' your game
Drive me insane trouble is gonna come to you
One of these days and it won't be long
You'll look for me but baby I'll be gone
This is all I gotta say to you woman
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Made up my mind to break you this time
Won't be so fine, it's my turn to cry
Do want you want, I won't take the brunt

Don't care what you say 'cause I'm goin' away to stay

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
I like how it rolls into Black Mountain Side.
keyboard in this kicks sooo much ass
this song should be played in the waiting room of divorce courts. LOL
cheesy?
O my dear friend you must live life. Genuine emotion is never Cheesy.
Plant pours out the real emotion here. Listen again and thank me when she breaks your heart and you realize Robert felt your pain.
nothin' but love for you mate
Plant isn't pouring out emotion, Zep stole this song from somebody.
But its still not cheesy
This track brilliantly showcases the superb talent of ALL 4 band members. The organ, the guitar, the cascading drums and those crying vocals... when I listen to it it's like I've stepped into a parallel universe where EVERYTHING is surreal. Flashback to September, 1980... I remember when Zeppelin announced their final tour (nobody knew it would be the final announcement). I was on my way to see a buddy of mine (who ALWAYS manages to get hot tickets) when over the car radio a dejay in Toronto played "Your Time is Gonna Come". I remember singing out loud to the song and thinking hot AWESOME that concert was going to be. A few days later, John Bonham died and the tour was cancelled. My time HALF came along many years later when I saw Page & Plant's No Quarter tour which WAS the best concert I have ever seen, bar none!
Best zepplin song ever maybe
i agree, this song is fabulous. my mom used to listen to this song when she was a kid after se had gotten dumped, and now i'm doing the same ^_^
Yeah, that two-timing woman is gonna get what she deserves. DAMMIT! Using people, not caring about anyone else. She gonna get hurt and she hurt me so bad I'll laugh when she is in the gutter. HA! Spot on Mr. Plant, soul of a woman was created below.
I have yet to pick my favorite Zeppelin song and i dont know if i ever will but this song is most definitely amazing... i think the meaning is pretty much obvious, no offense to anyone who doesnt get it but its literally exactly what hes saying...
