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 cry like a baby when I don't get my way
Do you want me?
I won't apologize when I make a mistake
Do you want me?
I got scars on my heart and they won't go away
Looking for someone to take them from me
Everybody knows I'm a little insane
Do you want me?
Oh, I try to be normal
I try to put one foot in front of the other
And I fail
You don't even know I'm alive
I open my mouth cause I'm waiting for your love to fall from the sky
And I fail
You think that I'm out of my mind
And maybe your scared to be right
But you'll never know 'til you get me alone
Do you want me?
I tell it to you straight so we can't get worse
Do you want me?
I want to show you me but first things first
Do you want me?
I'm looking for a savior to save my soul
All the damage I have done has left a big hole
Everybody knows I just want someone to hold
Do you want me?
Oh, I try to be easy
I try to put one foot in back of the other
And I fail
You don't even know I'm alive
I open my mouth cause I'm waiting for your love to fall from the sky
And I fail
You think that I'm out of my mind
And maybe your scared to be right
But you'll never know 'til you get me alone
You're looking at me strange like you don't know my name (my name)
You're looking at me strange like you don't know my name
You're looking at me strange like it's some kind of fake
You're looking at me strange like you want me to change
And I fail
You don't even know I'm alive
I open my mouth cause I'm waiting for your love to fall from the sky
And I fail
You think that I'm out of my mind
And maybe your scared to be right
But you'll never know 'til you get me alone
Do you, do you
Do you want me?
Do you, do you
Do you want me?
You'll never know 'til you get me alone
Do you, do you
Do you want me?
Do you, do you
Do you want me?
Do you, do you
Do you want me?
Do you, do you
Do you want me?
I won't apologize when I make a mistake
Do you want me?
I got scars on my heart and they won't go away
Looking for someone to take them from me
Everybody knows I'm a little insane
Do you want me?
Oh, I try to be normal
I try to put one foot in front of the other
And I fail
You don't even know I'm alive
I open my mouth cause I'm waiting for your love to fall from the sky
And I fail
You think that I'm out of my mind
And maybe your scared to be right
But you'll never know 'til you get me alone
Do you want me?
I tell it to you straight so we can't get worse
Do you want me?
I want to show you me but first things first
Do you want me?
I'm looking for a savior to save my soul
All the damage I have done has left a big hole
Everybody knows I just want someone to hold
Do you want me?
Oh, I try to be easy
I try to put one foot in back of the other
And I fail
You don't even know I'm alive
I open my mouth cause I'm waiting for your love to fall from the sky

@[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.

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.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
at least she s much more better that girls like miley cyrus , selena gomez or some other chiks like them !!!!!! they ll never get to her she was so full of life when she was a 17 years old girl but them ...
