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.
What does it mean to be unhealthy badly, my love?
To be in a bad state so well
What does it mean to face desire so sadly?
To beg at the empty well
Residual images hover above
I'm just a dog, a machine for your love
D'you know every man, every place that you've been?
You turned me on, then you turned on me
This low commotion, this low commotion
This low commotion, this low commotion
Is going down, down, down, down
This low commotion, this low commotion
This low commotion
America, weren't you a miracle?
A fleeting chance at home
But this low, low, low commotion
Would not leave our paradise alone
And my two hands landed
Like two spiders on your knees
And one right ring finger branded
But two legs for two brains to please
Residual images hover above
I'm just a dog, a machine for your love
But to know every man, every face that you'd seen
Baby, you turned me on, then you turned on me
This low commotion, this low commotion
This low commotion, this low commotion
This low commotion is going down, is going down, it's gone down
It's going down, it's going down, it's going down, it's going down
Your low commotion, your low commotion
Your low commotion, your low commotion
To be in a bad state so well
What does it mean to face desire so sadly?
To beg at the empty well
Residual images hover above
I'm just a dog, a machine for your love
D'you know every man, every place that you've been?
You turned me on, then you turned on me
This low commotion, this low commotion
This low commotion, this low commotion
Is going down, down, down, down
This low commotion, this low commotion
This low commotion
America, weren't you a miracle?
A fleeting chance at home
But this low, low, low commotion
Would not leave our paradise alone
And my two hands landed
Like two spiders on your knees
And one right ring finger branded
But two legs for two brains to please
Residual images hover above
I'm just a dog, a machine for your love
But to know every man, every face that you'd seen
Baby, you turned me on, then you turned on me
This low commotion, this low commotion
This low commotion, this low commotion
This low commotion is going down, is going down, it's gone down
It's going down, it's going down, it's going down, it's going down
Your low commotion, your low commotion
Your low commotion, your low commotion

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.

This Low Commotion = This Locomotion. Nice play on words there. :)
