Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Picture me flying down the highway
Rolling my way I can sit and marinate
But why should I stay just roll
Can never be still it seems I am always on the go
One day at a time I vision everything in slow mo
That's how I kept it always and I won't change
I can stand here like a statue but have no game to grow
Can never be still it seems I'm always on the go
One day at a time I vision everything in slow mo
Capitol eye dash to the man to the land is where I navigate you
Hit your city then we make moves
Every county every state too
We bake and take the cake too
The effects that suffocate you
Handle business on my way through
When I leave it don't mean I hate you
Nomadically, no matter where I be
It will be with me I mean musically
I stay on game because I'm choosing to be
Coming out the system when your cruising the streets
Slightly Stoopid and the band CE
World wide most definitely
Hang around here what you expecting from me
When I am gone later on you will be checking for me
People can take me the wrong way
Call it a night from a long day till it's gone hey
Pass me a bottle of that Bombay
But I hate it when it feels like a Monday
But I can't stay I got to stick and move
Be ready in this case they switch the rules
Get it off my chest with the SS crew
That could never be me but I guess that is you
Different strokes for different faces
Spacious skies stay high and gracious
Patience makes us feel tired and wasted
Came so close I can almost taste it
Switch it up once and change the game plan
Put in on you like a Nike name brand
Till you give it up and let respect change hands
It will never be the same man
Rolling my way I can sit and marinate
But why should I stay just roll
Can never be still it seems I am always on the go
One day at a time I vision everything in slow mo
That's how I kept it always and I won't change
I can stand here like a statue but have no game to grow
Can never be still it seems I'm always on the go
One day at a time I vision everything in slow mo
Capitol eye dash to the man to the land is where I navigate you
Hit your city then we make moves
Every county every state too
We bake and take the cake too
The effects that suffocate you
Handle business on my way through
When I leave it don't mean I hate you
Nomadically, no matter where I be
It will be with me I mean musically
I stay on game because I'm choosing to be
Coming out the system when your cruising the streets
Slightly Stoopid and the band CE
World wide most definitely
Hang around here what you expecting from me
When I am gone later on you will be checking for me
People can take me the wrong way
Call it a night from a long day till it's gone hey
Pass me a bottle of that Bombay
But I hate it when it feels like a Monday
But I can't stay I got to stick and move
Be ready in this case they switch the rules
Get it off my chest with the SS crew
That could never be me but I guess that is you
Different strokes for different faces
Spacious skies stay high and gracious
Patience makes us feel tired and wasted
Came so close I can almost taste it
Switch it up once and change the game plan
Put in on you like a Nike name brand
Till you give it up and let respect change hands
It will never be the same man

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.

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
Great song, nice to relax to. I like the intro, too.
