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.
This is a story of our youth in a heartbeat
We were young and reckless with no care
So take my word from an old soul
Don't take a back seat to life
These are the years that we hold close to our hearts and with our souls
Do you remember?
Oh, what a beautiful youth
Feeling happy, feeling free
These were the golden times to me
When we felt invincible
So take my word from an old soul
Don't take a back seat to life
These are the years that we hold close to our hearts and with our souls
Do you remember?
Oh, what a beautiful youth
We did what we wanted to
Where we're going no one knew
Living so carelessly
That's the way it should be
We were young and reckless with no care
So take my word from an old soul
Don't take a back seat to life
These are the years that we hold close to our hearts and with our souls
Do you remember?
Oh, what a beautiful youth
Feeling happy, feeling free
These were the golden times to me
When we felt invincible
So take my word from an old soul
Don't take a back seat to life
These are the years that we hold close to our hearts and with our souls
Do you remember?
Oh, what a beautiful youth
We did what we wanted to
Where we're going no one knew
Living so carelessly
That's the way it should be

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.
