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'm sorry that I'm not what you expected
Need I ignore you now
I can't live facing these regrets
I won't live without them
How will things turn out
You threw it all away
Is that how you see things
I guess we live through different eyes
We see through different pasts
I won't be what you want me to be
Should I try a little less
Just to suffer all the more
Is this what you want from me
Are you ashamed of me
Could this hurt any more
This may be the most important thing I'll ever say
But if it's all the same
I'll bide my words and wait for better ones to take
their place
And this I beg of you
Please don't think out loud
And keep your life to yourself
I'm not the one to volunteer
To suffocate
Nothing ever works out
Nothing, never...
Need I ignore you now
I can't live facing these regrets
I won't live without them
How will things turn out
You threw it all away
Is that how you see things
I guess we live through different eyes
We see through different pasts
I won't be what you want me to be
Should I try a little less
Just to suffer all the more
Is this what you want from me
Are you ashamed of me
Could this hurt any more
This may be the most important thing I'll ever say
But if it's all the same
I'll bide my words and wait for better ones to take
their place
And this I beg of you
Please don't think out loud
And keep your life to yourself
I'm not the one to volunteer
To suffocate
Nothing ever works out
Nothing, never...

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
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/
