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.
there must be more to it than this
you count your blessings and guard your wrist
I lost my head along the way
thought maybe I had...something clever to say...hey...
more than this...
more than this...
it tasted good, it tasted sweet
and there was I time where I couldn't even sleep
next to you
almost God in angel's wings
and now I'm a man in black
hey, I'm free--look at me...
there must be more to love than this
there must be more to love than this
and maybe dogs are meant for it,
and maybe Heaven couldn't stand the face of that
it's way too beautiful for me
to see you here
you're like a bird out over the sea...
way over me...
and I'm on my knees
to see what fits
I'm on my knees to get the hell out of it
on my knees to find out what it was that I just missed!
there must be more to love than this
there must be more to love than this
more than this...
more than this...
in the clueless hillside
come glue my head right
glue my name-song
come...cool now
more than this!
more than this...
I'll...
talk it out
endless tryin'...
and you see what we've had!
and you see what you had!
see what you'll have...
more than this...
you count your blessings and guard your wrist
I lost my head along the way
thought maybe I had...something clever to say...hey...
more than this...
more than this...
it tasted good, it tasted sweet
and there was I time where I couldn't even sleep
next to you
almost God in angel's wings
and now I'm a man in black
hey, I'm free--look at me...
there must be more to love than this
there must be more to love than this
and maybe dogs are meant for it,
and maybe Heaven couldn't stand the face of that
it's way too beautiful for me
to see you here
you're like a bird out over the sea...
way over me...
and I'm on my knees
to see what fits
I'm on my knees to get the hell out of it
on my knees to find out what it was that I just missed!
there must be more to love than this
there must be more to love than this
more than this...
more than this...
in the clueless hillside
come glue my head right
glue my name-song
come...cool now
more than this!
more than this...
I'll...
talk it out
endless tryin'...
and you see what we've had!
and you see what you had!
see what you'll have...
more than this...

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.

Just A Little Lovin'

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/
