its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
I set my hand to writing you...it drifted off the page.
I sold my one vision for a piece of the cake...
I haven't ate in days.
For unspoken value, aesthetic, and charm,
I'd smile at you sideways,
But the lighting is wrong.
I'm taking a picture, and counting the cost,
While the bells in my ears keep ringing.
I set my hand to writing you...it drifted of the page.
I nearly fell, I feel like a lowlife in hell
And I haven't slept in days and days, days and days...
Beat on my Fender through my Gemini 2,
Play to the posters on the wall of my room.
Thought I was crazy when I'd think about you...
And the bells in my ears keep ringing.
And the bells in my ears keep ringing.
In my ear bells are ringing.
I sold my one vision for a piece of the cake...
I haven't ate in days.
For unspoken value, aesthetic, and charm,
I'd smile at you sideways,
But the lighting is wrong.
I'm taking a picture, and counting the cost,
While the bells in my ears keep ringing.
I set my hand to writing you...it drifted of the page.
I nearly fell, I feel like a lowlife in hell
And I haven't slept in days and days, days and days...
Beat on my Fender through my Gemini 2,
Play to the posters on the wall of my room.
Thought I was crazy when I'd think about you...
And the bells in my ears keep ringing.
And the bells in my ears keep ringing.
In my ear bells are ringing.

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Techno Ted

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.

@[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.
It's about being an obsessive fan with a lot of dreams, right?
i can't believe this song is being ignored...i think it's my favourite blondie tune, i'm not clear about the meaning, it's a little ambiguous...probably about a crush
wait....wrong song...haha, never mind, it's clear what this one is about and also one of my favourite blondies
I love the keyboard and guitar solo it rally gets me crazy.
