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.
There goes my valentine again
Soaked in red for what she said
And now she's gone
Oh my god, have I done it again?
There's a pulse and it's deafening
I can't help what I hear in my head
It's the switch that I flick (when it says)
(Hand of blood) I don't wanna feel, my heart is breaking
(Hand of blood) I don't wanna see, my life is burning
I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take
Or are you blind and seeing nothing? (I saw you run)
I saw you run away
Is what I've done too much to take
Or are you scared of being nothing?
There's a stain on my hand and it's red
Oh my god, am I losing it?
I can't help what I've done or I've said
It's the button I push (when it says)
(Hand of blood) I don't wanna feel, my heart is breaking
(Hand of blood) I don't wanna see, my life is burning
I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take
Or are you blind and seeing nothing? (I saw you run)
I saw you run away
Is what I've done too much to take
Or are you scared of being nothing?
No
I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take
Or are you blind and seeing nothing? (I saw you run)
I saw you run away
Is what I've done too much to take
Or are you scared of being nothing?
Soaked in red for what she said
And now she's gone
Oh my god, have I done it again?
There's a pulse and it's deafening
I can't help what I hear in my head
It's the switch that I flick (when it says)
(Hand of blood) I don't wanna feel, my heart is breaking
(Hand of blood) I don't wanna see, my life is burning
I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take
Or are you blind and seeing nothing? (I saw you run)
I saw you run away
Is what I've done too much to take
Or are you scared of being nothing?
There's a stain on my hand and it's red
Oh my god, am I losing it?
I can't help what I've done or I've said
It's the button I push (when it says)
(Hand of blood) I don't wanna feel, my heart is breaking
(Hand of blood) I don't wanna see, my life is burning
I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take
Or are you blind and seeing nothing? (I saw you run)
I saw you run away
Is what I've done too much to take
Or are you scared of being nothing?
No
I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take
Or are you blind and seeing nothing? (I saw you run)
I saw you run away
Is what I've done too much to take
Or are you scared of being nothing?

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.
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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
What's the difference between Opinion and Interpretation?
I love this song.
I tried posting these lyrics ages ago, it doesn't work for me :S anyway...this song rocks!
no one actually know what this songs about? i think he might be angry about his ex or something, an his lifes falling apart without her, i really have no idea im prob jus talking out the light in my ass
this song is about killing his girlfriend...obviously fictional. he said that when i saw them playing download festival before they played the song.
It's a song about the pure mental emotion and anger someone can make you feel when it all fucks up. Probably about all the shit that goes on in your head when someone messes you about...
Absolutely love the riffs and solo's
cool band. riffs are back bitccchhh000r
Fucking incredible song. Bring back this kind of metal. They are awesome live, don't surpass the chance to see them! I agree with beni_ffaf, it's about anger and emotion. I'm surprised no-one's thought about the obvious surface meaning...murder. I think it's about a guy who's relationship was dissolving, ("I saw you look away", "Is what I've done too much to take?")it made him angry and drove him mad ("I can't help what I hear in my head, it's the flip that I switch")and he ended up slaughtering his girlfriend, hence 'Hand of Blood'- blood on his hands for her death, and the first line, meaning he believes she got what she deserved. This is just my interpretation. There is so much fury in this song, it's alive! Over and out.
I actually don't think it's about murder. I think the blood is symbolic to his broken heart. I think it's like she's breaking his heart and ending it and he can't take it and he's just pissed off beyond belief. I think the whole "Is what ive done to much to take or are you scared of being nothing? " is about how he's reacting to the breakup and she's leaving because she's afraid of what people will think about what she did to him.
it is about murder. he announced that the song was about killing his girlfriend when they played live
This song is way awesome, i just heard them today for the first time and I love them!
i agree with the people whove said its about a broken relasionship... but me thinks that the relasionship broke down because of something that hes done ( is what ive odne too much to take) and hes gone mad at himself for ending somethign that he cant live without..
this is such a fab song, the riffs and the anger, and the general honest anger in the song is incredible!!!
cant wait for the next album..WOOOOOP
hey i agree with this too. his girl broke up with him because of something he did or said and now he is having trouble dealing with it so he kills her. that explains the blood on his hands
