its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
I'm way too tired to be lonely
I spend my days as an only
I want to be saved, but I just don't know
Alone we've got nothing, or haven't you heard?
I guess we're just two wounded birds
Now you're here and we're alone
We still don't know what it takes
(Oh, yeah)
We want to feel love
(We want, we want to feel it)
But we're just so scared
Alone we've got nothing, or haven't you heard?
I guess we're just two wounded birds
I get so high
You give me shelter I guess I'm alive
I get so high
You give me shelter to get through the night
Alone we've got nothing, but haven't you heard?
I guess we're just two wounded birds
I'm way too tired to be lonely
You give me shelter to get through the night
I spend my days as an only
I want to be saved, but I just don't know
Alone we've got nothing, or haven't you heard?
I guess we're just two wounded birds
Now you're here and we're alone
We still don't know what it takes
(Oh, yeah)
We want to feel love
(We want, we want to feel it)
But we're just so scared
Alone we've got nothing, or haven't you heard?
I guess we're just two wounded birds
I get so high
You give me shelter I guess I'm alive
I get so high
You give me shelter to get through the night
Alone we've got nothing, but haven't you heard?
I guess we're just two wounded birds
I'm way too tired to be lonely
You give me shelter to get through the night

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
A perfect song for toxic codependency.
Ok, so since no one has commented-let me just say that I think this is a very sweet love song. And-FYI-it is the song from the love scene of \"True Romance\"
true that. this is a very nice song!
I love, love, love TRUE ROMANCE movie. The song makes me fall in love again "Wounded Bird" is a great love song.
This song now :) and the movie way back when has a special place in my heart :)
