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.
I never took you for a trip, but
Sometimes, I don't know what you want
I can take it if you need to,
Take this out on someone
That little thing with her head held so high
Talking tough, and I
Cut myself so I could feel something I
Know is not alive
That one stings a little,
I'm always in the middle
I don't expect, but try me,
And you will always find me here
This is where I scream from
Yeah, you can take it all and work it out, yes
There's a little bit of you in all this
You can say the only thing you know, yeah
Please, there's a better bit of me to see yet,
'Cause you haven't see any of my best
Know I hate myself without you now, yeah
Hurts to see, but nobody knows,
Guess that's just how it goes
And I, I won't say anything at all
I was taking on a dollar sign, anxious,
Scared of what you need
Everybody wants a piece of you,
Everyone takes a piece of me
That one stings a little,
I'm always in the middle
I don't expect, but try me,
And you will always find me here
This is where I scream from
Yeah, you can take it all and work it out, yes
There's a little bit of you in all this
You can say the only thing you know, yeah
oh, Please, there's a better bit of me to see yet,
'Cause you haven't see any of my best
Know I hate myself without you now, yeah
Hurts to see, but nobody knows,
Guess that's just how it goes
And I, I won't say anything at all
(I-I-I-Iiii)
This is the hook, take it like I took
I'm shaking like I shook before
And I'm a little better off
I'm not the only one
This is where I stopped before
And now you have a piece of me
I always slip away from
I always slip away from
I won't say anything, but
Yeah, you can take it all and work it out, yes
There's a little bit of you in all this
You can say the only thing you know, yeah
Please, there's a better bit of me to see yet,
'Cause you haven't see any of my best
Know I hate myself
Hurts to see, when nobody knows,
Guess that's just how it goes
And I, I won't say anything at all
I won't say anything at all
I won't say anything at all
Sometimes, I don't know what you want
I can take it if you need to,
Take this out on someone
That little thing with her head held so high
Talking tough, and I
Cut myself so I could feel something I
Know is not alive
That one stings a little,
I'm always in the middle
I don't expect, but try me,
And you will always find me here
This is where I scream from
Yeah, you can take it all and work it out, yes
There's a little bit of you in all this
You can say the only thing you know, yeah
Please, there's a better bit of me to see yet,

Know I hate myself without you now, yeah
Hurts to see, but nobody knows,
Guess that's just how it goes
And I, I won't say anything at all
I was taking on a dollar sign, anxious,
Scared of what you need

I won't say anything at all
I won't say anything at all

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Josh Ramsay (lead singer of this sick band) says that he was an addict and he has insomnia. So then he said the thing that gets him through it is the serenity prayer, then he recited it. I was impressed that he was religious! (He's really sexy too... just thought I'd throw that in there.)
aly.exoh is right, don't cut.
This band is pretty sweet, I like them. Even though Shaketramp is so stupid, but funny, I still like it. Very good song. and band. and i agree with the girl pushing the dude around theory.
