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.
The days count me down
hit's close to home now and I don't
so I'll pause like it sunk in
but I don't listen, I never listen
It'd break your heart were I killed by a tidal wave
an ocean away
torn apart by the coral
trying to breathe
This hope to grow old is a joke now
and it gets funnier every time I tell it
So here we are now broken school boys
in love with a girl who is no more alive than I
hit's close to home now and I don't
so I'll pause like it sunk in
but I don't listen, I never listen
It'd break your heart were I killed by a tidal wave
an ocean away
torn apart by the coral
trying to breathe
This hope to grow old is a joke now
and it gets funnier every time I tell it
So here we are now broken school boys
in love with a girl who is no more alive than I

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,

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
The days count me down hit's close to home now and I don't so I'll pause like it sunk in but I don't listen, I never listen [something that hurt him maybe a death of a loved one? is hurting him but it hasbt really hit him yet.Hes still in shock.But everyone around him is hurt by it so he pretendsthat hes accepted and is getting through it but hes not]
It'd break your heart were I killed by a tidal wave an ocean away torn apart by the coral trying to breathe [Its saying that hes missing them and that he feels very far from them and the its getting hard to breathe and go on with his life without them here]
This hope to grow old is a joke now and it gets funnier every time I tell it [Hes saying they were supposed to grow old together but now its nothing more than a joke and it hurts to think about what couldve been]
So here we are now broken school boys in love with a girl who is no more alive than I [Its killing him inside and he still loves her]
Just what i think :]
