Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
T.V. debut.
And through all the big commotions it
was clear that she was missing me too.
And I try,and I try, and I try, and I try, cause it would.
And I scream, and I scream, and I scream, and I
scream, cause it would.
She said "I miss you for an instant but that
instant is old."
And she said, "Technology, it needs me."
I'm screaming, I'm mad, I gotta daily ?
She said "I just don't feel like myself."
And she said. "Technology it needs me."
We're sinking like sand.
We were tailors to the house of your dream.
On the surface she was sure its still regardless shes the homecoming queen.
And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try, cause
it would.
And I scream, and I scream, and I scream, and I scream, cause it would.
Stuck in the thought, that she was ready to go.
She said "I miss you for an instant but that
instant is old."
And she said. "Technology, it needs me."
Well if you want me then I'd tell ya, "Too bad."
Cause I gotta be by myself.
And she said, "I'm all your fault I'm leaving."
And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try, cause
it would.
And I scream, and I scream, and I scream, and I scream, cause it would.
Stuck in the thought, that she was ready to go.
She said "I miss you for an instant but that instant is old."
And she said, "Technology, it needs me."
Well if you want me then I'd tell ya, "Too bad."
Cause I gotta be by myself. And she said, "I'm all your fault I'm leavin."
Oh yeah! In the end, its your fault, and your
fault, and your fault, and your fault, and your
fault.
Oh yeah, yeah! In the end, its your
fault, and your fault, and your fault, and your
fault, and your fault.
In "Technology," The Whigs explore the challenges of maintaining a relationship in a world where technology dominates. The song opens by commenting on Rudy's success and how it's been documented for the world to see on CBS. Amidst all the attention, however, one thing is clear: she misses the singer just as much as he misses her. The singer repeatedly tries to connect with her, but it's no use. She's too focused on her technological pursuits.
The chorus features the line "Technology, it needs me," which is repeated throughout the song. It's not clear exactly what this means, but it seems to signify the hold that technology has on the singer's partner. She feels compelled to pursue it, even if it means sacrificing her relationship. The verses continue with the singer's desperation and frustration as he tries to win her back. But in the end, she blames him for her departure.
The overall message of the song seems to be about the difficulty of reconciling human relationships with technology. While our gadgets and devices offer us many conveniences and pleasures, they can also blur the lines between people and make it difficult to maintain real, meaningful connections.

Well I watched on CBS as Rudy made it, it's now on T.V. debut.
I was watching the news when I saw Rudy's TV debut.
And through all the big commotions it was clear that she was missing me too.
Despite all the chaos, it was evident that she missed me as well.
And I try,and I try, and I try, and I try, cause it would.
And I scream, and I scream, and I scream, and I scream, cause it would.
I keep trying and yelling because I know I need to do something.
Stuck in the thought, that she was ready to go.
She said "I miss you for an instant but that instant is old."
I feel like she's already gone - she told me that she missed me, but it was a long time ago and things have changed.
And she said, "Technology, it needs me."
I'm screaming, I'm mad, I gotta daily ?
She said "I just don't feel like myself."
And she said. "Technology it needs me."
She told me that she needs technology in her life. I'm frustrated and angry, and she feels disconnected from herself, but she still needs it.
We're sinking like sand.
We were tailors to the house of your dream.
On the surface she was sure its still regardless shes the homecoming queen.
Our relationship is falling apart. We used to work so well, but now she's conflicted about her identity while still appearing confident on the surface.
And she said, "I'm all your fault I'm leaving."
Oh yeah! In the end, its your fault, and your fault, and your fault, and your fault, and your fault.
Oh yeah, yeah! In the end, its your fault, and your fault, and your fault, and your fault, and your fault.
She blames me for what's happening and she's leaving. By the end of it, it's all my fault according to her.
Well if you want me then I'd tell ya, "Too bad."
Cause I gotta be by myself.
And she said, "I'm all your fault I'm leavin."
If I want her to stay, she's not interested because she needs to be alone. And again, she tells me that it's all my fault that she's leaving.

Plus - The guitar in this song always reminds me of an early KISS (Dressed To Kill / Destroyer) kinda' sound which of course makes me feel all warm & fuzzy inside ;-)

Some of this lyrics are incorrect.
Rudy made it's "network TV debut"..."beer commercials"...I'm screaming a tad, "like on a daily talk show"...and the house of "your dream"
