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.
Force me to open my mouth
Again because they know I don't want to
Speak loud when they make me feel
Like a boy scout
So hard to tell them You love them to
I can't give much if I punch back at
The one who hits first
Trying to make me feel ashamed
Because I'm touched
God help me see them
See my thirst
Tensed
But still so calm
Alright
Leaning on your arm
Beautiful spirit
Talk to me
Holy Spirit
Walk with me
They are liberated minds
I'm a narrow-minded fool
Why must it be
That a discussion is about beating
My mouth will be
Closed if there's no one seeking
You know I will be there
Love is so convincing
My words don't come out right
I will stay but not fight
Everybody believes in god
But it seems like no one does in You
But I do
I'm not ashamed
Again because they know I don't want to
Speak loud when they make me feel
Like a boy scout
So hard to tell them You love them to
I can't give much if I punch back at
The one who hits first
Trying to make me feel ashamed
Because I'm touched
God help me see them
See my thirst
Tensed
But still so calm
Alright
Leaning on your arm
Beautiful spirit
Talk to me
Holy Spirit
Walk with me
They are liberated minds
I'm a narrow-minded fool
Why must it be
That a discussion is about beating
My mouth will be
Closed if there's no one seeking
You know I will be there
Love is so convincing
My words don't come out right
I will stay but not fight
Everybody believes in god
But it seems like no one does in You
But I do
I'm not ashamed

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

@[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.
This song turned me on to Blindside way back in junior high and I've been a huge fan ever since... This song is my favorite off of their self-titled album... rock on.
I take this song as my personal anthem to God, because I can relate it so well to my life. I want God to use the ministry that I have to give Him, especially while I'm in high school. But it's really hard. God has to force him to open his mouth, because he doesn't want to. He has to have God take over when they treat him like a goody-goody, because it's extra hard for him then. He's telling God how he wants to share His love for them, but he knows he can't when he's getting his defenses up. He says they're trying to make him feel ashamed because he's touched and set apart by God. He asks God to help him show people his thirst for Him. He's praying to God to give him a peace and he wants to just lean on Him. He needs God's spirit to talk to him and His Holy Spirit to be with him. "They are liberated minds, I'm a narrow-minded fool" he's saying that they see themselves as open and tolerant and he's supposedly the polar opposite and a total fool for what he believes. "My mouth will be closed if there's no one seeking". He's saying that if someone doesn't come asking him, he won't search for people or seek them out. (This is something I struggle with, because I keep my defenses up instead of choosing to make myself vulnerable in order to reach people.) He's saying that love would be more convincing than anything he could say and that maybe his words will never come out right, but he'll stay and persevere. "Everybody believes in God, but no one does in You" he's saying that everyone says they believe in God, but he knows that what they "believe" isn't God at all... But he knows who God is, and he believes. He's not ashamed.
