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.
Being young's romantic
The tourists smile and say cheese
We're sendin' you just a postcard
Dolores has got us off alive
Prose only lasts forever
Got Shakespeare in the personals
Our palms read fragile lifelines
That stretch a hundred miles or more
And hey love don't you think about me sometimes
Think about you way more than I'd like
And hey love don't you think about me sometimes
Think about you way more than I'd like
Hey big eyes, got such a keen
Try to fall for strangers
Try to fall for strangers
From all of my friends, all of my friends
Try to fall for strangers (tried so hard)
Try to fall for strangers
Kiss just like a car crash
It's where the air breathes easier
You missed the whole first chapter
The stories were etched in the cement
Pullin' out the compass
We're right back where we started from
It's any consolation, remember we're fucked up together so far
And hey love don't you think about me sometimes
Think about you way more than I'd like
And hey love don't you think about me sometimes
Think about you way more than I'd like
Hey keen eyes, you got such big eyes
Try to fall for strangers
Tried so hard for strangers
All of my friends, all of my friends
Try to fall for strangers
Try to fall for strangers
The tourists smile and say cheese
We're sendin' you just a postcard
Dolores has got us off alive
Prose only lasts forever
Got Shakespeare in the personals
Our palms read fragile lifelines
That stretch a hundred miles or more
And hey love don't you think about me sometimes
Think about you way more than I'd like
And hey love don't you think about me sometimes
Think about you way more than I'd like
Hey big eyes, got such a keen
Try to fall for strangers
Try to fall for strangers
From all of my friends, all of my friends
Try to fall for strangers (tried so hard)
Try to fall for strangers
Kiss just like a car crash
It's where the air breathes easier
You missed the whole first chapter
The stories were etched in the cement
Pullin' out the compass
We're right back where we started from
It's any consolation, remember we're fucked up together so far
And hey love don't you think about me sometimes
Think about you way more than I'd like
And hey love don't you think about me sometimes
Think about you way more than I'd like
Hey keen eyes, you got such big eyes
Try to fall for strangers
Tried so hard for strangers
All of my friends, all of my friends
Try to fall for strangers
Try to fall for strangers

@[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.
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/
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.
I think its about a couple with a tumultuous relationship.
