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.
Weather worn, jagged heart and ragged soul
Wind swept spirit soaring high in the raging gale
Tired and torn, treacherous tides across the shoul
Rushing stream, your lifeblood, winds through this wintervale
In the darkness lingers the afterglow
An alleviating light
Caught a glimpse of fire on the distant shore
In the night
Is there land beyond my dreams
Underneath a starlit sky
This one cannot, so it seems
Righteousness restore
Sail into the west
Until landfall gratify
Lay me down to rest
On the sunset shore
Ages passed, this receding rainbow goal
Any quest or journey seeking it foaled to fail
It's so far away and so long ago
Lives lay buried that shone bright
Now the shore is burning into the sky
In the night
Is there land beyond my dreams
Underneath a starlit sky
This one cannot, so it seems
Righteousness restore
Sail into the west
Until landfall gratify
Lay me down to rest
On the sunset shore
Long ages passed though no one came
Good visions last through hunger and pain
Is there land beyond my dreams
Underneath a starlit sky
This one cannot, so it seems
Righteousness restore
Sail into the west
Until landfall gratify
Lay me down to rest
On the sunset shore
Wind swept spirit soaring high in the raging gale
Tired and torn, treacherous tides across the shoul
Rushing stream, your lifeblood, winds through this wintervale
In the darkness lingers the afterglow
An alleviating light
Caught a glimpse of fire on the distant shore
In the night
Is there land beyond my dreams
Underneath a starlit sky
This one cannot, so it seems
Righteousness restore
Sail into the west
Until landfall gratify
Lay me down to rest
On the sunset shore
Ages passed, this receding rainbow goal
Any quest or journey seeking it foaled to fail
It's so far away and so long ago
Lives lay buried that shone bright
Now the shore is burning into the sky
In the night
Is there land beyond my dreams
Underneath a starlit sky
This one cannot, so it seems
Righteousness restore
Sail into the west
Until landfall gratify
Lay me down to rest
On the sunset shore
Long ages passed though no one came
Good visions last through hunger and pain
Is there land beyond my dreams
Underneath a starlit sky
This one cannot, so it seems
Righteousness restore
Sail into the west
Until landfall gratify
Lay me down to rest
On the sunset shore

Blue

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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
Their songs subject matter revolve almost entirely around Viking lore, mythology & history, taking their name from Týr who is the god of war in Norse religion. So with that in mind I think this song is describing the journey of vikings on the seas from shore to shore, their hardships along the way as well as their triumphs.
