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.
365 and a day, that's how you know
The mission is before us, a coded gene inside us
A mathematic function I need, I'm monotonic
Conquering the highlife, hiding from the daylight
Sequences are feeding my killing, my correlation
Searching for the borders, a future in disorder
Analog corruption amongst the population
Altering the skyline, delete it from the baseline
365 becoming me, come with me, come with me, come with me
365 and a day, that's how you know
It is hard to say no
Before you learn to let go
365 and a day, that's how you know
It is hard to say no
Before you learn to let go
Come with me, come with me
365 and a day to save my soul
Just keep on, let the days go
We keep on telling them no
The mission to divide us will only unify us
The systematic functions erase the anachronic
Plan to set the outline, form you to the hive-mind
Frequencies are seeding your feeding, your automation
Decode the synchronizer, analyze the cipher
A parasitic system that feeds the embryonic
World beneath the high rise, a torment for the sidelined
365, and now you come with me
(Come with me, come with me)
(Follow me, follow me)
(Come with me, come with me)
And bow down before me!
365 and a day, that's how you know
It is hard to say no
Before you learn to let go
Come with me, come with me
365 and a day to save my soul
Just keep on, let the days go
We keep on telling them no
(3, 6, 5 and a day)
365 and a day, that's how you know
It is hard to say no
Before you learn to let go
365 and a day, that's how you know
It is hard to say no
Before you learn to let go
Come with me, come with me
365 and a day to save my soul
Just keep on, let the days go
We keep on telling them no
The mission is before us, a coded gene inside us
A mathematic function I need, I'm monotonic
Conquering the highlife, hiding from the daylight
Sequences are feeding my killing, my correlation
Searching for the borders, a future in disorder
Analog corruption amongst the population
Altering the skyline, delete it from the baseline
365 becoming me, come with me, come with me, come with me
365 and a day, that's how you know
It is hard to say no
Before you learn to let go
365 and a day, that's how you know
It is hard to say no
Before you learn to let go
Come with me, come with me
365 and a day to save my soul
Just keep on, let the days go
We keep on telling them no
The mission to divide us will only unify us
The systematic functions erase the anachronic
Plan to set the outline, form you to the hive-mind
Frequencies are seeding your feeding, your automation
Decode the synchronizer, analyze the cipher
A parasitic system that feeds the embryonic
World beneath the high rise, a torment for the sidelined
365, and now you come with me
(Come with me, come with me)
(Follow me, follow me)
(Come with me, come with me)
And bow down before me!
365 and a day, that's how you know
It is hard to say no
Before you learn to let go
Come with me, come with me
365 and a day to save my soul
Just keep on, let the days go
We keep on telling them no
(3, 6, 5 and a day)
365 and a day, that's how you know
It is hard to say no
Before you learn to let go
365 and a day, that's how you know
It is hard to say no
Before you learn to let go
Come with me, come with me
365 and a day to save my soul
Just keep on, let the days go
We keep on telling them no

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I think this has to do the systematic destruction of the world that seems inevitable with the way the corruption & disharmony is so afluent in our current political landscape.
