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.
Take your head around the world
See what you get
From your mind
Write your soul down word for word
See who's your friend
Who is kind
It's almost like a disease
I know soon you will be
Over the lies, you'll be strong
You'll be rich in love and you will carry on
But no - oh no
No you won't be mine
Take your straight line for a curve
Make it stretch, the same old line
Try to find if it was worth what you spent
Why you're guilty for the way
You're feeling now
It's almost like being free
And I know soon you will be
Over the lies, you'll be strong
You'll be rich in love and you will carry on
But no - oh no
No you won't be mine
Take yourself out to the curb
Sit and wait
A fool for life
It's almost like a disease
I know soon you will be
Over the lies, you'll be strong
You'll be rich in love and you will carry on
But no - oh no
No you won't be mine
See what you get
From your mind
Write your soul down word for word
See who's your friend
Who is kind
It's almost like a disease
I know soon you will be
Over the lies, you'll be strong
You'll be rich in love and you will carry on
But no - oh no
No you won't be mine
Take your straight line for a curve
Make it stretch, the same old line
Try to find if it was worth what you spent
Why you're guilty for the way
You're feeling now
It's almost like being free
And I know soon you will be
Over the lies, you'll be strong
You'll be rich in love and you will carry on
But no - oh no
No you won't be mine
Take yourself out to the curb
Sit and wait
A fool for life
It's almost like a disease
I know soon you will be
Over the lies, you'll be strong
You'll be rich in love and you will carry on
But no - oh no
No you won't be mine

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Talk about a song with incredible pride and integrity. I see it as moving on from a relationship you felt lucky to be in at first, then realizing at it's end that he/she was the lucky one. Everyone loves her, she'll find someone new in a heartbeat. But you know she'll never find anyone as good for her as you were, be as good to her as you were (Said with a bit more feeling than Uncle Kracker, I might add). The build in the music is astonishing, and the way it cuts back to single note piano, gut-wrenching. Listen for the grace notes. They set the tone so well.
Favorite line: "take yourself out to the curb," you piece of trash.
I adore this song...it has so much feeling, I can relate to this song...The words completly get to me...It is like he is talking to his old Love and he is finally over her and he wants her to see what she did and what she is like...and saying "you won't be mine"...I especially love the words..."Try to find if it was worth what you spent..Why you're guilty for the way You're feeling now" Anyone who has had someone leave them has thought this at least once. Great song...i love the feeling it leaves you with.
blast this song in your car... you'll feel awesome!!!
"Take your straight line for a curve" - - DEEP!
I've taken a slightly different view on this song... for me it's more like a whole "love from afar" deal. He loves her utterly, but in her high-flying lifestyle she doesn't even know he exists. It's he, however, that is the one who truly knows how to be happy in life, but he can't because he can never have her. So very bittersweet, and made all that more by the incredible orchestra and piano work. One of my all-time favourite songs.

wow. the lyrics blow me away. I feel like that right now over a guy.. i look at him, and i see the kind of life i could give him, but he refuses to see it.. he only sees what he's got now, these feelings that lie to him and tell him hes happy... but hes so blind that he doesn't see that he's not happy... hes fooling himself. And now..."over the lies, he'll be strong, he'll be rich in love and he'll carry on".... and because he can't see... he won't be mine. thats how i see the story of this song. his disease is that he can't see what will make him happy... his blindness.
i just feel like sharing my favorite line here :"you'll be over the lies...but you won't be mine" which is how i feel about an ex. i love this song, its wonderful, and the musical thing at the end is kinda freaky when you fall asleep and then it wakes you up outta nowhere.
I think this song is about breaking up with someone and feeling ready for them to move on. Or it could be about loving some one from afar. But I couldn't pick a favorite line because the song is all brilliant.
god this song just makes you sit back and say DAMN rob how'd you do it? he's an awesome songwriter & singer and sexy-as-hell ;)
