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.
I just wanna do you right, right (yeah)
I just wanna do you right (yeah, uh)
'Cause you deserve everything and more
You're royalty, a true queen that a king adore
I need you by my side, you the type I bring on tour
Let's fall asleep in L.A., wake up out in Singapore
Doing things I never did before
Fuck being selfish, I just wanna give you more
I'm going out my way so you know what I'm in it for
I pay attention, all the little things to listen for
True love's true comprimise
Ride or die by my side as I'm on the rise
But if I fell off tomorrow, would you disappear? (sorry)
Sounds like I don't trust you, I apologize
But I'm a lover
And I'm trying to give you all of me, so if you're down to follow me
Gotta do it honestly, you heard 'bout them hoes
My reputation follows me, but I just cut 'em off
Trading quantity for quality, you know?
Make it easy
I believe, I believe, I believe (I believe)
I'ma be, I'ma be, I'ma be the one you need (the one you need)
I believe, I believe, I believe (I believe in us, I believe in trust)
And I will show you that
I won't settle for no less (no less)
Give you my hardest, no rest
I just wanna do you right
I hold heaven in both hands
Give you my hardest, no rest (you know)
I just wanna do you right, girl
I just wanna do you right
(I just wanna do you right)
Giving you my all, nothing less than
More than a wifey, that my best friend
Do it all for my baby, not a question
Your hatin' friends keep hatin', bless them
I wanna be in your room, we could sleep all day
I wanna be somewhere the bullshit can stay away
I wanna get to the point, where I don't have to lie
When you ask me "Is everything gonna to be okay?"
It's easier to sell a dream than keep it real
It's easier to numb the pain than really feel
Make it vanish in a moment with a magic pill
It's easier to layaway than pay the bill
Uh, would you stay with me if I was broke?
When we look in these mirrors, are we seein' smoke?
And this might be the realest shit I wrote
Love's a challenge, but this ain't gotta be difficult
I won't settle for no less
Give you my hardest, no rest
I just wanna do you right
I hold heaven in both hands
Give you my hardest, no rest
I just wanna do you right, girl
I just wanna do you right
And I will bring you all my rights
I just wanna do you right, yeah
I won't leave you down and out behind me
I just wanna do you right, I just wanna do you right
I just wanna do you right, girl
I just wanna do you right
I just wanna do you right, girl
I just wanna do you right
I just wanna do you right (yeah, uh)
'Cause you deserve everything and more
You're royalty, a true queen that a king adore
I need you by my side, you the type I bring on tour

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."
