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.
Come on over, let me watch you
Let me hold you, let me touch you
Right or wrong I should've stayed up 'til the break of dawn
Ever since our eyes did meet
I long to see
Your eyes suprised me like a moon on a cowboy movie screen
I never found out what it means
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on, I'll waste my life
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on I'll waste my life on you
Come on over, let me watch you
Let me hold you, let me touch you
I'm right, you're wrong
You should have come to me before too long
You'll never leave my sight again
To keep you then
Your eyes deny me like the sun on a night sky movie scene
And I just don't care what it means
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on I'll waste my life
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on I'll waste my life on you
And I hate to be the one
The one to drop the bomb
You wouldn't wait around
But I'll be watchin' you
Woooooo you, you, you! Yeah you
Woooooo you, you, you! Yeah you
I'll watch your every move
You can't know we can't hurt you
You got no choice I got you
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on I'll waste my life
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on I'll waste my life
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on I'll waste my life on you
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on
I'll waste my life, I'll waste my life, my life on you
Let me hold you, let me touch you
Right or wrong I should've stayed up 'til the break of dawn
Ever since our eyes did meet
I long to see
Your eyes suprised me like a moon on a cowboy movie screen
I never found out what it means
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on, I'll waste my life
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on I'll waste my life on you
Come on over, let me watch you
Let me hold you, let me touch you
I'm right, you're wrong
You should have come to me before too long
You'll never leave my sight again
To keep you then
Your eyes deny me like the sun on a night sky movie scene
And I just don't care what it means
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on I'll waste my life
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on I'll waste my life on you
And I hate to be the one
The one to drop the bomb
You wouldn't wait around
But I'll be watchin' you
Woooooo you, you, you! Yeah you
Woooooo you, you, you! Yeah you
I'll watch your every move
You can't know we can't hurt you
You got no choice I got you
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on I'll waste my life
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on I'll waste my life
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on I'll waste my life on you
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on
I'll waste my life, I'll waste my life, my life on you

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
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.
I personally think that this song is about a guy who's trying to woo a girl and who wants a long-term relationship with her, but she doesn't feel the same way he does about them being together.
"I'm romantically dead" probably means that he never had a girlfriend and he's never felt this way about someone.
That's my take, maybe someone else has something better.
