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.
Istud malum
Numquam visum
Terra numquam ita laesa est
Mundus miserabilis
Tantus furor non iam oritur
Postquam haec subiimus
This is the greatest tribulation
Don't give in to all the fear
It will cause pain and suffering
We can't escape
It's part of our evolution
Do not dwell on elegy
Trust your instinct, it will always guide the way
This is the full annihilation
Just give in to our fate
It will destroy all dignity
We can't escape
There will be no absolution
Do not breathe in all the grief
Trust your instinct, it will always guide the way
Laws of time dictate our lives
This moment we live in
Will drive us faster to the arms of solitude
This torment will force us
To open up the doors to our awakening
Spread light
Let that inner force be on your side
Spread light
Trust the path, our fate
Put into practice what you got along the way
Tanget omnem iste horror
Creaturam
Contra cladem nos armemus
Te praepara
Dancing on ruins
In search of more power
But we have forgotten
To water the soil that forgives
Let it live
The moment we're living
Reveals our true identity
This moment we live in
Will drive us faster to the arms of solitude
This torment will force us
To open up the doors to our awakening
This moment we live in
Will drive us faster to the arms of solitude
This torment will force us
To open up the doors to our awakening
Laws of time dictate our lives
Numquam visum
Terra numquam ita laesa est
Mundus miserabilis
Tantus furor non iam oritur
Postquam haec subiimus
This is the greatest tribulation
Don't give in to all the fear
It will cause pain and suffering
We can't escape

To open up the doors to our awakening
This moment we live in
Will drive us faster to the arms of solitude
This torment will force us
To open up the doors to our awakening
Laws of time dictate our lives

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
Istud malum Numquam visum Terra numquam ita laesa est Mundus miserabilis Tantus furor non iam oritur Postquam haec subiimus Latin to English translation This evil has never been seen. The earth has never been so injured. The world is pitiful. Such fury no longer arises. After we have undergone these things
Tanget omnem iste horror Creaturam Contra cladem nos armemus Te praepara Latin to English translation This horror will touch every creature Against the defeat we arm ourselves Prepare you
