Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Feel the way it goes when the words have left the mark
With the promise of tomorrow,
That tricks and leaves you in the dark
There's something in the air,
And there's something rising up
Not one but a million that have had enough
Hey,yo, no
I'm not good at going away
I got something more to say
Kickin', screaming, it knocks you down, it knocks you down
Hey yo, go, underneath we'll tear you down
Secrets from the underground,
Ain't gonna stop so far!
This is not an anthem,
Or a threat in someone's name
But a promise that tomorrow
Will rock and burn, and things won't change!
There's something in the air,
There's something rising up
Not one but a million that have had enough!
Hey,yo, no
I'm not good at going away
I got something more to say
Kickin', screaming, it knocks you down, it knocks you down
Hey yo, go, underneath we'll tear you down
Secrets from the underground,
Ain't gonna stop so far!
Underneath we'll tear you down
Oh, oh, oh, secrets from the underground
Hey, no, no
I'm not good at going away
I got something more to say
Kickin', screaming, it knocks you down, it knocks you down
Hey yo, go, underneath we'll tear you down
Secrets from the underground,
Ain't gonna stop so far!
Hey yo, go
Hey yo, go
Secrets from the underground,
Ain't gonna stop so far!
With the promise of tomorrow,
That tricks and leaves you in the dark
There's something in the air,
And there's something rising up
Not one but a million that have had enough
Hey,yo, no
I'm not good at going away
I got something more to say
Kickin', screaming, it knocks you down, it knocks you down
Hey yo, go, underneath we'll tear you down
Secrets from the underground,
Ain't gonna stop so far!
This is not an anthem,
Or a threat in someone's name
But a promise that tomorrow
Will rock and burn, and things won't change!
There's something in the air,
There's something rising up
Not one but a million that have had enough!
Hey,yo, no
I'm not good at going away
I got something more to say
Kickin', screaming, it knocks you down, it knocks you down
Hey yo, go, underneath we'll tear you down
Secrets from the underground,
Ain't gonna stop so far!
Underneath we'll tear you down
Oh, oh, oh, secrets from the underground
Hey, no, no
I'm not good at going away
I got something more to say
Kickin', screaming, it knocks you down, it knocks you down
Hey yo, go, underneath we'll tear you down
Secrets from the underground,
Ain't gonna stop so far!
Hey yo, go
Hey yo, go
Secrets from the underground,
Ain't gonna stop so far!

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.
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"

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I personally think that this song is about an upcoming revolution from the people who had enough of this political system etc.
@Jaroslaw I think you right <br /> In my opinion,"underneath We'll tear you down” could be about Barack Obama or ISIS and "There’s something in the air and there's something in the air..." refers to a protest/riot or even the Iraq war.
