its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Sometimes I wake up and the sky is grey
When you're not here by my side
I see your make up on the shelf
In a photograph of someone else
And it breaks me up like I don't exist
Did we ever love, did we ever kiss?
Do you ever listen to what I have to say?
As life unfolded that one short day
However you want it, it's my desire
Girl you've got me hanging like a bird down on a wire
We are so different, yet we're the same
Things that I remember, that I wish I could change
Sometimes I wake up as angry as hell
I feel deserted, I feel unwell
But it's not your fault, no not at all
I was the reason for our downfall
Sometimes I wake up when I'm alone
As angry as hell because you're gone
You want your life back, girl I'm not a thief
You told me that it's over and that you were gonna leave
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
It's over, it's over, it's over
When you're not here by my side
I see your make up on the shelf
In a photograph of someone else
And it breaks me up like I don't exist
Did we ever love, did we ever kiss?
Do you ever listen to what I have to say?
As life unfolded that one short day
However you want it, it's my desire
Girl you've got me hanging like a bird down on a wire
We are so different, yet we're the same
Things that I remember, that I wish I could change
Sometimes I wake up as angry as hell
I feel deserted, I feel unwell
But it's not your fault, no not at all
I was the reason for our downfall
Sometimes I wake up when I'm alone
As angry as hell because you're gone
You want your life back, girl I'm not a thief
You told me that it's over and that you were gonna leave
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
It's over, it's over, it's over

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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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.
I know Bernard writes the lyrics about a breakup with a girl. but I think it's about Peter Hook leaving the band of his own accord and then seemingly wanting back in. Some regrets, but Hook said he was gonna leave and now it's over.
