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.
Sometimes it's embarrassing to talk to You
To hold a conversation with the only one who sees right through
This version of myself I try to hide behind
I'll bury my face because my disgrace will leave me terrified
And sometimes I'm so thankful for Your loyalty
Your love regardless of the mistakes I make will spoil me
My confidence is in a sense, a gift You've given me
And I'm satisfied to realize You're all I'll ever need
You looked into my life and never stopped
And You're thinking all my thoughts are so simple but so beautiful
And You recite my words right back to me before I even speak
You let me know, I am understood
And sometimes I spend my time just trying to escape
I work so hard, so desperately, in an attempt to create space
'Cause I want distance from the utmost important thing I know
I see Your love, then turn my back and beg for You to go
You looked into my life and never stopped
And You're thinking all my thoughts are so simple but so beautiful
And You recite my words right back to me before I even speak
You let me know, I am understood
You're the only one who understands completely
You're the only one who knows me yet still loves completely
And sometimes the place I'm at is at a loss for words
If I think of something worthy, I know that it's already yours
And through the times I've faded and you've outlined me again
You've just patiently waited to bring me back and then
You looked into my life and never stopped
And You're thinking all my thoughts are so simple but so beautiful
And You recite my words right back to me before I even speak
You let me know, I am understood
Your voice has broken my defense
Let me embrace salvation
Your voice has broken my defense
Let me embrace salvation
Your voice has broken my defense
Let me embrace salvation
Your voice has broken my defense
Let me embrace salvation
Your voice has broken my defense
Let me embrace salvation
Your voice has broken my defense
Let me embrace salvation
Your voice has broken my defense
Let me embrace salvation
Let me embrace
Let me embrace salvation
To hold a conversation with the only one who sees right through
This version of myself I try to hide behind
I'll bury my face because my disgrace will leave me terrified
And sometimes I'm so thankful for Your loyalty
Your love regardless of the mistakes I make will spoil me
My confidence is in a sense, a gift You've given me
And I'm satisfied to realize You're all I'll ever need
You looked into my life and never stopped
And You're thinking all my thoughts are so simple but so beautiful
And You recite my words right back to me before I even speak
You let me know, I am understood
And sometimes I spend my time just trying to escape
I work so hard, so desperately, in an attempt to create space
'Cause I want distance from the utmost important thing I know
I see Your love, then turn my back and beg for You to go
You looked into my life and never stopped
And You're thinking all my thoughts are so simple but so beautiful
And You recite my words right back to me before I even speak
You let me know, I am understood
You're the only one who understands completely
You're the only one who knows me yet still loves completely
And sometimes the place I'm at is at a loss for words

And You're thinking all my thoughts are so simple but so beautiful
And You recite my words right back to me before I even speak
You let me know, I am understood
Your voice has broken my defense
Let me embrace salvation
Your voice has broken my defense
Let me embrace salvation
Your voice has broken my defense
Let me embrace salvation
Your voice has broken my defense
Let me embrace salvation
Your voice has broken my defense
Let me embrace salvation
Your voice has broken my defense
Let me embrace salvation
Your voice has broken my defense
Let me embrace salvation
Let me embrace
Let me embrace salvation

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
