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.
(Graffiti sky)
(I don't think y'all ready)
(Yo, I don't think y'all ready)
Graffiti decorations under a sky of grey
This constant apprehension still giving me away
The lessons I've forgotten in spite of all I've learned
Now I find myself in question
(Point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(Point-point the finger at me again)
I wanna run away
(I wanna run away)
I wanna know the truth
(I wanna know the truth)
I wanna know the answers
(I wanna know the answers)
I wanna shut the door
(And open up my mind)
And open up my mind
(And open up my mind)
Paper bags and angry voices under a sky of grey
This constant apprehension won't seem to go away
All my talk of starting over these words were never true
Now I find myself in question
(Point-point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(Point-point the finger at me again)
I wanna run away
(I wanna run away)
I wanna know the truth
(I wanna know the truth)
I wanna know the answers
(I wanna know the answers)
I wanna shut the door
(And open up my mind)
And open up my mind
(And open up my mind)
(Gonna run away, gonna run away)
(Gonna run away, gonna run away)
(Run away, run away, run away)
(Uh, y'all not ready)
(Run away, run away)
Ay yo
I don't think y'all ready for what I'm about to do
Y'all new school dudes ain't even got no clue
How dare you forget about Bam and Zulu?
Kool Herc and Jazzy Jay they paved the way
Let me spit it for y'all who said I wasn't gon' make it
Every time I blaze it, y'all the first to hate it
My team really keen, supreme and stay strong
Got the two series son, they scared to put us on
Can't get with the hybrids, get off your hiatus
Too many of y'all is dyin' for it so I gotta blaze it
Still reppin BK, Brooklyn D and on
Hell fire family alienation
Banging hits in the backyard on a LP song
I'm a little commuter named Phoenix Orion
I wanna run away
(I wanna run away)
I wanna know the truth
(I wanna know the truth)
I wanna know the answers
(I wanna know the answers)
I wanna shut the door
(And open up my mind)
And open up my mind
(And open up my mind)
(I don't think y'all ready)
(Yo, I don't think y'all ready)
Graffiti decorations under a sky of grey

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
