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.
They're moving Earth outside
The ground is shaking like no beat
A dense terrible sound
At once both teeming and asleep
It seems to me to be a sign
I don't believe in such, and yet
It seems to me to keep one eye
On the situation's best
It's good to see you
It's good to see you go
It's good to see you
It's good to see you go
It's really not that kind
To terrorize one in one's sleep
And if you really tried
You'd probably cut the chase too deep
It seems to me that that's a fine way
To keep you off your feet
Their seems to be no over side
For the two ideas to meet
It's good to see you
It's good to see you go
It's good to see you
It's good to see you go
Gotta keep your mind on somewhere else
Gotta keep from thinking of your health
Strange how your mind works
Oh no, I hit rock bottom
Oh no, I hit rock bottom
It's good to see you
It's good to see you go
It's good to see you
It's good to see you go
Gotta keep your mind on somewhere else
Gotta keep from thinking of your health
Strange how your mind works
Strange how your mind works
Strange how your mind works
Strange how your mind works
Strange how your mind works
The ground is shaking like no beat
A dense terrible sound
At once both teeming and asleep
It seems to me to be a sign
I don't believe in such, and yet
It seems to me to keep one eye
On the situation's best
It's good to see you
It's good to see you go
It's good to see you
It's good to see you go
It's really not that kind
To terrorize one in one's sleep
And if you really tried
You'd probably cut the chase too deep
It seems to me that that's a fine way
To keep you off your feet
Their seems to be no over side
For the two ideas to meet
It's good to see you
It's good to see you go
It's good to see you
It's good to see you go
Gotta keep your mind on somewhere else
Gotta keep from thinking of your health
Strange how your mind works
Oh no, I hit rock bottom
Oh no, I hit rock bottom
It's good to see you
It's good to see you go
It's good to see you
It's good to see you go
Gotta keep your mind on somewhere else
Gotta keep from thinking of your health
Strange how your mind works
Strange how your mind works
Strange how your mind works
Strange how your mind works
Strange how your mind works

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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.
If this doesn't get Pinback the attention they deserve I don't know what will, great song.
