It was discovered in chat that there is an interesting link between Tachyon's videos, and the lyrics to the songs in them. To make it easier to analyse this, we have decided to make a thread to discuss this, where we can see the transcripts and lyrics together.

First video: An Update of Sorts. Here is the transcript: (Thanks to Taiya)
so I haven't updated this in awhile

and I removed all of my old videos.
(long story, but i learned my lesson)

it's nice to have fallen into a gig
that'll keep me nested in a somewhat familiar habitat...

...but I fear that is just an illusion.

at least I keep telling myself that.
but how long can i keep observing
an illusion as real before my mind
accepts it as reality?

thankfully, the weather is nice.
plenty of nature to expore. every
week I learn about new places to
go hiking or swimming...

...if and when i get that rare free
moment, I hope to have the energy
left to actually prioritize that!
(double optimism)

all summer, the momentum of my
day-to-day demands has kept me
feeling like I am trapped in a state
of exhausted motion

[irony noted]

at least it's helping me ignore just
how surreal I should find all of this,
and i am ignoring it quite well.

i am trying to approach it as my
ability to keep up with these
demands directly reflects qualities
of my inner self...

...and my inner self has a fierce
determination to be able to watch
the World Series this year.

right now, nothing sounds better
than an actual game. I could use an
excuse to try out some obscene
gestures i've acquired

but given that I was so
overwhelmed with busy work
yesterday that i had to be reminded
that it was already the Fall Equinox...

I am going to try and keep my
expectations realistic. Believe me,
I know that the closest i may get is
watching it on live TV.

I am glad at least that I found the
time to write a little tonight.

i should remind myself to do it
more often.

I've had a long day, so i'm off to let
my mind focus on a fantasy that
actually might show even greater
optimism on my part...

[and believe me, if i could help
make it happen I would]

but I'd love it if the Dodgers and the
Angels faced off next month.

but given my track record as of
late, i haven't been so hot with
most of my predictions.

[I most sincerely hope I'm due]

xoxox,

T


And the song in this video is Iron Maiden, "Can I Play With Madness?"
Here are the lyrics (Thanks to Romy)

Give me the sense to wonder
To wonder if Im free
Give me a sense of wonder
To know I can be me
Give me the strength to hold my head up
Spit back in their face
Dont need no key to unlock this door
Gonna break down the walls
Break out of this bad place

Can I play with madness
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness
Theres no vision there at all
Can I play with madness
The prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness
He said youre blind too blind to see

I screamed aloud to the old man
I said dont lie dont say you dont know
I say you pay for your mischief
In this world or the next
Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance
And the hellfires raged in his eyes
He said do you wanna know the truth son
Ill tell you the truth
Your souls gonna burn in a lake of fire

Can I play with madness
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness
Theres no vision there at all
Can I play with madness
The prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness
He said youre blind too blind to see

Can I play with madness
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness
Theres no vision there at all
Can I play with madness
The prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness
He said youre blind too blind to see

Second video: My Lonesome Update for mid October.
And here is the transcript. (Thanks to MaxZyrix)

I've been out of touch.
Yes, i've been busy.

i've been so busy trying to keep up
with the order in my life.
i haven't been able to do everything I had hoped.

I learned my lesson:
Maintaining order is very time consuming. It keeps
you on your toes.

With any luck, i might be closer to
accomplishing my goals.
Even though things have unfolded in a
rather unpredictable way.

And it is taking A LOT longer than I
thought it would take.
i am having a hard time working in these surroundings...
...even after all this time

I've thought it over a lot.
My only explanation?
I haven't fully embraced my situation.
Not as much as i should have.

It just seems like such a long
time has passed!
Didn't we originally think that the
curtain would have fallen by
mid-October?

I now have this sinking suspicion
that i'll be here a few more weeks.
Maybe even until the end of the year

I worry about how insignificant i
feel in the order of things. I'm not
sure how much value i have.
I think i am well-linked by some.
And i am being given priveleges,
which I appreciate!

For instance, i've had more access
to television recently than I
suspected i would.

At least that bodes well for the
chance I'll be able to watch the
World Series on TV!

But there were events I'd hoped to
actually attend earlier this month.
Unfortunately, i was unable to.

Television is a good distraction.
That "Grief Counseling" episode of
The Office? Good stuff.

But still, it's not what I had hoped
to watch that night.

I was surprised thought: The things
I missed were actually
videotaped...
Someone else with a similar interest posted a video onto the
internet.

The quality was poor, but it made
up for the access i lacked.
I wasn't sure what to make of it, actually.

It was a bit of a letdown!
Even thought I probably built it up way too much in my head.

Now I am thinking that maybe it
wasn't what I had predicted.
Since it's the internet, the video could've easily been a
staged hoax of some sort.

In fact, maybe that event has yet
to take place?
I don't know what to think from
what i have seen in the time
since...

Because strangely, little has
changed. Maybe it's just that my
day to day is pretty much the
same, but there was no major shift
from my perspective.

i am living the same life i have
been. I really thought i would have
a different viewpoint on things.
But it's all just the same.

Except i have had my computer
access limited in recent weeks.
Severely limited.

It seems other operations are
given priority over what i am
working on,
and I am not even sure if i can see what those are exactly.

i am not allowed to participate in
the operations of interest, only
smaller projects.
I find it dull, but at least i am not being scrutinized much.

I still do not see the clear
connections.
i can't see the full picture yet.

Please tell Mom and Dad that I am
sorry for not calling.
i lost my cell phone, and it had their phone number on it.

That's one of the main
reasons why i haven't been
able to check in with you all.
(and I sincerely apologize)

But I hope you're still
watching for these.
Even thought i've been so busy
that I haven't written as often as
I had promised to.

That cell phone was the only
place that i had their
number, actually.
Yours as well.

i am not quite sure where i lost it.
no one here has given me any indication that they found it.

I'm 99% certain that everything on
there is secure.
But I apologize if you've gotten any strange phone calls as a
result.

If that happens, please find a way
to let me know, okay?
Like, immediately!

I'm sure there's no need to worry.
In the event of the worst-case scenario, I am sure i will figure
something out!

I miss you all!
With any luck, I will see you sooner rather than
later!

XOXO,
T

And the song in this video is Radiohead, "Karma Police"
Here are the lyrics. (Thanks to Romy)

Karma police, arrest this man, he talks in maths
He buzzes like a fridge, hes like a detuned radio
Karma police, arrest this girl, her hitler hairdo, is making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party
This is what you get, this is what you get
This is what you get, when you mess with us

Karma police, Ive given all I can, its not enough
Ive given all I can, but were still on the payroll
This is what you get, this is what you get
This is what you get, when you mess with us
And for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
And for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself

For a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself

The third video: URGENT: For My Helper
Here is the transcript. (Thanks to Covedweller)

i think it might be time that I thought things over.
i might have too much order in my life, to the point
I can’t make sense of it!

I feel like i am just waiting.
Waiting around for all of the things I want to happen.
Things i need to happen.

Waiting for something…
ANYTHING!
I wait, i wait, I wait.

It’s like I am waiting for you to just tell me what i should be doing.
Waiting for Mom and Dad to make sense of the order for me,
To help me see the meaning in it all.

Even though I feel invisible lately.
[in every facet of my life, actually]

I have nightmares that none of you even care anymore.
And i can’t help but let it get to me.

Am I cut off?
i’ve just been sitting still.
[it feels weird]

in light of that…
I am going to figure out what conclusions I have come to.

i don’t have access to all the answers. It feels like I’ve only had access
to a lot of questions.
I am too confused to try to figure it out on my own.

Maybe once we sit down, look at it all, and talk about it…
Maybe then we will be able to make sense of it!

I think that sounds like a good idea, don’t you?

So can I please come home now?
Pretty please?

I know you’ve all been busy.
I haven’t heard from you in ages.
And I haven’t been able to get ahold of any of you either.

So I am going to use the calling card you gave me for
situations like this.
And I hope that you can make the arrangements for me.

Please remember:
I wouldn’t ask if i had any other way to get home!
I am counting on your help here.

i’ve just been dealing with so much that I can’t handle it all anymore.
I really fear that I have been losing my mind for a while now.

None of us want that. Right?

In my heart,
I know that I am making the right choice in regards to my difficult decision.

With that in mind:
I anticipate that i will only be here another day, maybe?

i will have a few goodbyes, which are important since i should try to leave
on a pleasant note.
i can handle that, I am sure.

Before the sun rises today, I will gather all that i can.
There’s a lot to pack. i will leave with more than I came
here with.
I might have a few souvenirs to grab as well.

i cannot carry much, so I’d prefer to courier the bulk of it.
Once you receive this message, can you immediately send
a courier over to retrieve it all?

Once the plan is in motion, I’ll use the calling card.
I just need to overcome a few restrictions I’m dealing with.
But they shouldn’t be a problem.

Hopefully I will see you soon!

XOXO,
T

And the song in this video is Dashboard Confessional, "The Best Deceptions"
Here are the Lyrics. (Thanks again to Romy)

I heard about your trip
I heard about your souveniers
I heard about the cool breeze, in the cool nights, and the cool guys
That you spent them with
I guess I should have heard of them from you
I guess I should have heard of them from you

Well don't you see, don't you see that the charade is over?
And all the "Best Deceptions" and the "Clever Cover Story" awards
Go to you
So kiss me hard 'cause this will be the last time that I'll let you
You will be back some day
And this awkward kiss that tells of other people's lips
Will be of service
To giving you away

I heard about your regrets
I heard that you were feeling sorry
I heard from someone that you wish you could set things right between us
Well, I guess I should have heard of that from you
I guess I should have heard of that from you

Well don't you see, don't you see that the charade is over?
And all the "Best Deceptions" and the "Clever Cover Story" awards
Go to you
So kiss me hard 'cause this will be the last time that I let you
You will be back someday
And this awkward kiss that screams of other people's lips
Will be of service to giving you away
To giving you away

I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers
I'll be all right when my hands get warm
Ignoring the phone, I'd rather say nothing
I'd rather you'd never heard my voice

You're calling too late, too late to be gracious
And you do not warrant long good-byes
You're calling too late
You're calling too late
You're calling too late

I hope this helps!

I hate when I don't come right home from work (like to take the nephews trick or treating) and you guys come up with something awsome.

[Captious]

This was Chessboard Woman's doing. She started it yesterday. =) We didn't know what the first song was then though.

[TheChessboardWoman]

I told you the songs work.

Maybe I'm being dense, but I don't get it. Can someone spell out the connections?

[Sarah of the Dead]

Bah. Well, on the one hand, I'm glad I actually caught a clue, but on the other, is there likely to be anything else we can take from the songs/lyrics? Seems like they fit, but I'm not sure they tell us anything further.

[taiya]

I sent a message to opaphid awhile ago asking if the use of the song "Friends of P" was a clue on the first video or if it was just a whimsical choice. She read my message, but never answered.
