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 descending, into you
Feels like, dry hands, tearing me inside out
It all is burning
I can't, breathe anymore, too much to push away
I tell you how you make me feel and you just look away
And I don't know how much more of you that I can take
As it hits me
Wake me before its over
I feel gone
There's nothing I can do
Then you tell me
Its over and walk off
On your own
I'm descending into you
All I hear is, screaming, inside and out
My head, just can't take this
It feels like I don't exsist in this world you've made
The look of disgust on your face whenever I'm near you
Scratch the surface of me is all you'll ever do
Your all I've ever known
To hard to just look away
Put out all I have shown
As I watch you throw it away
I'm descending, into you
Feels like, dry hands, tearing me inside out
It all is burning
I can't, breathe anymore, too much to push away
I tell you how you make me feel and you just look away
And I don't know how much more of you that I can take
As it hits me
Wake me before its over
I feel gone
There's nothing I can do
Then you tell me
Its over and walk off
On your own
I'm descending into you
All I hear is, screaming, inside and out
My head, just can't take this
It feels like I don't exsist in this world you've made
The look of disgust on your face whenever I'm near you
Scratch the surface of me is all you'll ever do
Your all I've ever known
To hard to just look away
Put out all I have shown
As I watch you throw it away
I'm descending, into you

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
