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.
you're helpless, and hopeless
you wanna help out the homeless
but you've got problems
you're selfish, and worthless
and you have no fucking purpose
you're a cancer-causing, cancer-having slob
whoa-oh (x3)
there are morals that conflict with orals
that conflict with anals that believe in angels
angels are hating on you
if good is the absence of evil
and evil is the absence of good
there is an axis of evil
rolling into this neighborhood
with the sound of gunshots
bang! pow!! pswchh!!!
whoa-oh (x4)
it was then that i found i am a vampire
i have fangs fucking 15 inches long
the sanguinary sweetness of stealing someone's blood
feels so good i am compelled to sing this song
and at night when i retire to my coffin
to sleep for a hundred years or more
all you people that i know will have died long ago
and your children will have died ten years before
whoaaaaa-oh. oh. OHHHHH.

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Fuck this group. Their lyrics are annoyingly sarcastic and the pretension of forced indieness makes my skin crawl. The friend who recommended this is an irony-loving asshole
@inrandomtandem he said to random internet strangers, not knowing or caring what his opinion might possibly accomplish. later that day, he was struck by several buses consecutively. his only friend, the irony-loving asshole, comprised his eulogy entirely of lyrics from this song. everyone in attendance laughed, comforted by the fact that the world was now a slightly more positive place.
@inrandomtandem yeowzers ma qeyql. shut the fuck up & let a kike enjoy being depressed.
