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.
Over and over I keep wonderin' why
Then I give up and see that look in your eyes
Cause if I trip and fall, I'll be to blame
And if I hit the wall, I'll still be the same
Wasting your time with your so called friends
The one's you adore and the one's you pretend
And it's kind of sad and deranged
But it's not so bad that it can't be explained
Cause in my mind it's all a waste of time
And there's no excuse at all
Then I realize, surprise
You were right all along
And I want to know have I gone too far
Have I sunk to brand new low
And I want to know if I've gone too far
Cause I've lost all my self control
Guilty as charged I've been convicted and tried
Was it too much to ask for you to take my side
Cause there's nothing here left to defend
When it's always me that you blame in the end
Cause in my mind it's the perfect crime
And there's no excuse at all
Then I realize, surprise
You were right all along
And I want to know have I gone too far
Have I sunk to brand new low
And I want to know if I've gone too far
Cause I've lost all my self control
Nothing is what it seems,
To me
You're sleeping without the dreams
Without you, nothing defines me
When I'm slippin' away
Its only you that can find me
And I'm over my head again
I've fallen from end to end
And I want to know if I've gone too far
And I want to know if I've gone too far
And I want to know if I've gone too far
Cause I've lost all my self control
Cause I've lost all my self control
Now I've sunk to a brand new low
Brand new low
(There's nothing new without you)
Brand new low
(Nothing here without you)
Brand new low
(I'm slipping away without you)
Have I sunk to a brand new low
Then I give up and see that look in your eyes
Cause if I trip and fall, I'll be to blame
And if I hit the wall, I'll still be the same
Wasting your time with your so called friends
The one's you adore and the one's you pretend
And it's kind of sad and deranged
But it's not so bad that it can't be explained
Cause in my mind it's all a waste of time
And there's no excuse at all
Then I realize, surprise
You were right all along
And I want to know have I gone too far
Have I sunk to brand new low
And I want to know if I've gone too far
Cause I've lost all my self control
Guilty as charged I've been convicted and tried
Was it too much to ask for you to take my side
Cause there's nothing here left to defend
When it's always me that you blame in the end
Cause in my mind it's the perfect crime
And there's no excuse at all
Then I realize, surprise
You were right all along
And I want to know have I gone too far
Have I sunk to brand new low
And I want to know if I've gone too far
Cause I've lost all my self control
Nothing is what it seems,
To me
You're sleeping without the dreams
Without you, nothing defines me
When I'm slippin' away
Its only you that can find me
And I'm over my head again
I've fallen from end to end
And I want to know if I've gone too far
And I want to know if I've gone too far
And I want to know if I've gone too far
Cause I've lost all my self control
Cause I've lost all my self control
Now I've sunk to a brand new low
Brand new low
(There's nothing new without you)
Brand new low
(Nothing here without you)
Brand new low
(I'm slipping away without you)
Have I sunk to a brand new low

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
It really grinds my gears when people automatically assume that songs are about relationships. Just because this song used to get tons of radio play doesn't mean it fits into the generic category of "break-up song" or "love song."
Personally, I don't take Treble Charger's lyrics to seriously. They're a bit more concerned about making the lyrics rhyme than getting a point across. (I do love the band though, they chill me out.)
And after all of this ranting, I admit that I have no idea what this song is about either.
