He certainly did earn that reputation.
Twisting and turning unable to sleep
Do the voices ever stop
My thoughts speak louder the more I resist
And they're driving me insane
Do they ever go
Inside I'm a danger to myself
I'm a danger to myself
Inside I'm a prisoner of my own hell
My own hell
Losing the battle I've waged on myself
Lock me up and toss the key
Toys in the attic its all getting worse
Why wont they let me be oh god make it stop
Inside I'm a danger to myself
I'm a danger to myself
Inside I'm a prisoner of my own hell
My own hell
Fit me for a straitjacket
Put me in a padded cell
I'm a danger to you all
And I'm a danger to myself
Inside I'm a danger to myself
I'm a danger to myself
Inside I'm a prisoner of my own hell
My own hell
Inside I'm a danger to myself
I'm a danger to myself
Inside I'm a prisoner of my own hell
My own hell
Do the voices ever stop
My thoughts speak louder the more I resist
And they're driving me insane
Do they ever go
Inside I'm a danger to myself
I'm a danger to myself
Inside I'm a prisoner of my own hell
My own hell
Losing the battle I've waged on myself
Lock me up and toss the key
Toys in the attic its all getting worse
Why wont they let me be oh god make it stop
Inside I'm a danger to myself
I'm a danger to myself
Inside I'm a prisoner of my own hell
My own hell
Fit me for a straitjacket
Put me in a padded cell
I'm a danger to you all
And I'm a danger to myself
Inside I'm a danger to myself
I'm a danger to myself
Inside I'm a prisoner of my own hell
My own hell
Inside I'm a danger to myself
I'm a danger to myself
Inside I'm a prisoner of my own hell
My own hell

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.

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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Holiday

@[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.
Producer Kevin Churko encouraged frontman and lyricist Ivan Moody to take a highly personal approach throughout the record, and this song is about his self-destructive nature. Bathory explained to Kerrang!: "He definitely has multiple personalities that cause his life to be surrounded by chaos, and on this song he gives a really deep insight into the way that he is and the way that his mind works."
This track was originally going to be a bonus song but guitarist Zoltan Bathory explained to Metal Hammer, "it turned out so well — so primal, so stark — that we decided to include it on the album."
This is definitely the way I'm understanding it. It shows that it can be hard in his head and he may feel at risk of doing something dangerous, but while still having a handle on it all.
It was this very song that gave me a passion for this genre of music. It seams like Ivan Moody is in my head and lived my life. FFDP is my favorite of all time, cuz its so real to me and gives me comfort to know that there are others out there and hope that I can be successful even in my dis-functional mind.
another very complete song... apparently Ivan has alot of inner anguish to deal with... but at least he knows how to channel it into songs like this.
sounds like my head.
Sounds like he goes through the same shit I do.
whatever you do don't sing the choruses of this song to a psychiatrist or psychologist lol you'll just pay their bills hahahah
@libernater, "toys in the attic" is like when you find old childhood toys in the attic, sends memories into your head, clutters your mind.
This song to me is about people with schizophrenia or ptsd as the lyrics "do the voices ever stop" seems like its about people with schizophrenia or any similar medical condition
This song is about the changes in politics and in the media since the election of chipper jones.
Since this song is on an album that was a dedication to the troops: I think this song is about PTSD.
i don't really get the part about toys in the attic
