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.
Spoiled one got your heart set
Hoping for a brand new bike
Getting anxious just you wait and see
Mommy please, everybody's got one
I hope you like working 'cause it's never gonna come
You promised me
(Someone's telling lies)
They used to lie to me
(Someone's telling lies)
Expectation from the chimney
(Freaking disguise)
Because with lots to see
Tinsel dreams of what they promised me
(I'm on a merry go mission with a carousel team)
I hate to be the one
There is no Santa Claus
No Santa Claus
I hate to be the one that tells you
Don't believe in phony fairy tales
Gamma ray gun space flight to six ten
Flying over your head headed straight to your friend
Tou're so lucky
Now you're all grown up with a badge and a gun
Fighting crime in december brings you tainted memories
(If you got what you wanted then you might be..... nice)
You'll get your christmas wish when you sleep with a fish
I hate to be the one
There is no Santa Claus
I hate to be the one that tells
You don't believe in phony fairy tales
Space flight to six ten so holiday cheer to the fine reindeer
And all the other crap that goes with that I'm sorry to say
So be careful whose lap you sit upon
You just might turn Kris Kringle on
Your whispers they may, may, may
You'll get your christmas wish when you sleep with a fish
Hoping for a brand new bike
Getting anxious just you wait and see
Mommy please, everybody's got one
I hope you like working 'cause it's never gonna come
You promised me
(Someone's telling lies)
They used to lie to me
(Someone's telling lies)
Expectation from the chimney
(Freaking disguise)
Because with lots to see
Tinsel dreams of what they promised me
(I'm on a merry go mission with a carousel team)
I hate to be the one
There is no Santa Claus
No Santa Claus
I hate to be the one that tells you
Don't believe in phony fairy tales
Gamma ray gun space flight to six ten
Flying over your head headed straight to your friend
Tou're so lucky
Now you're all grown up with a badge and a gun
Fighting crime in december brings you tainted memories
(If you got what you wanted then you might be..... nice)
You'll get your christmas wish when you sleep with a fish
I hate to be the one
There is no Santa Claus
I hate to be the one that tells
You don't believe in phony fairy tales
Space flight to six ten so holiday cheer to the fine reindeer
And all the other crap that goes with that I'm sorry to say
So be careful whose lap you sit upon
You just might turn Kris Kringle on
Your whispers they may, may, may
You'll get your christmas wish when you sleep with a fish

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
