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.
Why must I die a little everyday?
I'm colder, much older than you
There's still no difference anyway, cause my sentiments are true.
It goes on and on, the cut gets deeper and deeper.
The words aren't enough, and the hill gets steeper upwind.
You can't go on instinct. I guess I knew it all along.
Life is just a way of learning how to make believe.
Life can be something better than what you could ever see.
The last and final chance to let this go. As I tried to hold on.
You have noone that you can show how hard it is to already know.
Sing the same sad songs, the words get deeper and deeper.
The cut never heals. I havent slept in years cause I'm so Tired.
Life is just a way of learning how to make believe.
Life can be something better than what you could ever see.
What a way to go. You were never ready to know.
What a way to see that nothing is what it seems to be.
The last and final chance to let this go. As I tried to hold on.
You have noone that you can show how hard it is to already know.
I'm colder, much older than you
There's still no difference anyway, cause my sentiments are true.
It goes on and on, the cut gets deeper and deeper.
The words aren't enough, and the hill gets steeper upwind.
You can't go on instinct. I guess I knew it all along.
Life is just a way of learning how to make believe.
Life can be something better than what you could ever see.
The last and final chance to let this go. As I tried to hold on.
You have noone that you can show how hard it is to already know.
Sing the same sad songs, the words get deeper and deeper.
The cut never heals. I havent slept in years cause I'm so Tired.
Life is just a way of learning how to make believe.
Life can be something better than what you could ever see.
What a way to go. You were never ready to know.
What a way to see that nothing is what it seems to be.
The last and final chance to let this go. As I tried to hold on.
You have noone that you can show how hard it is to already know.

@[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.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
This song means a lot to me! Especially the first verse.
