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.
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, they all fall like a million raindrops
Falling from a blue sky, kissin' your cares goodbye
Oh as they all fall like a million pieces
A ticker tape parade high and now you're free to fly
I'm carryin' a millstone malaise
It's been pulling down your gaze
You pound the pavement, it don't give or care
This weight ain't yours to bear
Why you holdin' grudges in old jars?
Why you wanna show off all your scars?
What's it gonna take to lay a few burdens down?
It's a beautiful sound
And they all fall like a million raindrops
Falling from a blue sky, kissin' your cares goodbye
Oh as they all fall like a million pieces
A ticker tape parade high and now you're free to fly
When that muffled sigh
Says you're barely getting by
Cut your burdens loose
And just simplify, simplify
This is not your floor
You're going higher than before
Drop the weight now
Wait for the lookout guide, look outside
As they all fall like a million raindrops
Falling from a blue sky, kissin' your cares goodbye
Oh as they all fall like a million pieces
A ticker tape parade high and now you're free to fly
You've gotta lay that burden down
You've gotta lay that burden down
It's time to leave your burdens in a pyre
Set a bonfire
'Cause when you lay your burdens down
When you drop them burdens
What a free-fall, what a thrill
Bury them all in a landfill
Oh oh, they all fall like a million raindrops
Falling from a blue sky, kissin' your cares goodbye
Oh oh, they all fall like a million pieces
A ticker tape parade high and now you're free to fly
Oh, they all fall like a million raindrops
Falling from a blue sky, kissin' your cares goodbye
Oh as they all fall like a million pieces
A ticker tape parade high and now you're free to fly
They all fall like a million raindrops
Falling from a blue sky, kissin' your cares goodbye
Oh oh, they all fall like a million pieces
A ticker tape parade high and now you're free to fly
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, they all fall like a million raindrops
Falling from a blue sky, kissin' your cares goodbye
Oh as they all fall like a million pieces
A ticker tape parade high and now you're free to fly
I'm carryin' a millstone malaise
It's been pulling down your gaze
You pound the pavement, it don't give or care
This weight ain't yours to bear
Why you holdin' grudges in old jars?
Why you wanna show off all your scars?
What's it gonna take to lay a few burdens down?
It's a beautiful sound
And they all fall like a million raindrops
Falling from a blue sky, kissin' your cares goodbye
Oh as they all fall like a million pieces
A ticker tape parade high and now you're free to fly
When that muffled sigh
Says you're barely getting by
Cut your burdens loose
And just simplify, simplify
This is not your floor
You're going higher than before
Drop the weight now
Wait for the lookout guide, look outside
As they all fall like a million raindrops
Falling from a blue sky, kissin' your cares goodbye
Oh as they all fall like a million pieces
A ticker tape parade high and now you're free to fly
You've gotta lay that burden down
You've gotta lay that burden down
It's time to leave your burdens in a pyre
Set a bonfire
'Cause when you lay your burdens down
When you drop them burdens
What a free-fall, what a thrill
Bury them all in a landfill
Oh oh, they all fall like a million raindrops
Falling from a blue sky, kissin' your cares goodbye
Oh oh, they all fall like a million pieces
A ticker tape parade high and now you're free to fly
Oh, they all fall like a million raindrops
Falling from a blue sky, kissin' your cares goodbye
Oh as they all fall like a million pieces
A ticker tape parade high and now you're free to fly
They all fall like a million raindrops
Falling from a blue sky, kissin' your cares goodbye
Oh oh, they all fall like a million pieces
A ticker tape parade high and now you're free to fly

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
We have to leave it all behind and not look back. Leave your baggage at the door because it pulls you down. Quit hanging on to the past, let it go and fly!
God, I love you..
Once we confess it to Jesus....sin is gone! Let it go, Jesus already took care of it
Nothing annoys me more than people who associate every song by a Christian band to how great God is, or how amazing he is. Yes, I agree, it CAN be related to that but, they are a band of Christians. This song could just be how letting your burdens go can be such a release; like being free. There, no reference to God. :)
Mine I downloaded is called million raindrops, and I agree it may be about what people have stated.
Why you holdin' grudges in old jars? Why you wanna show off all your scars? What's it gonna take to lay a few burdens down? It's a beautiful sound
which is a beatiful sound, the sound of forgetting regrets and being forgiven.
I love this song- it's one of my favorite Newsboys songs. It's not only catchy, but it's got a great meaning. I love the bridge to it.
