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.
I 'm caught up in a mystery way
I'm in a constant distant state
I pray for this to always be
The path that has been chosen for me
'Cause it's got me spinning round and round, round and round
So high I can't touch the ground anymore
And it's all that I'm praying
So let it rain, let it pour, call me names it won't phase me
I don't care what they say
No denouncement could change me
'Cause it's only a matter of time 'til it finds you
Try to run for your life, you'll still feel it behind you
You will see
You will, you will see
You will, you will see
Everybody starts with a clean slate
Only altered by unnecessary hate
I pray that I will never be
Affected by how you portray me
'Cause it's got me spinning round and round, round and round
But I'm not scared of being down any more
Now there's no one controlling me
So let it rain, let it pour, call me names it won't phase me
I don't care what they say
No denouncement could change me
'Cause it's only a matter of time 'til it finds you
Try to run for your life, you'll still feel it behind you
You will see
You will, you will see
You will see
You will, you will see
I'm not a slave to your attention
Fuck your lies I'll never be a victim
I fell from the sky, a perfect landing
Sheltered from the storm and all the rain
You will see
So let it rain, let it pour, call me names it won't phase me
I don't care what they say
No denouncement could change me
'Cause it's only a matter of time 'til it finds you
Try to run for your life, you'll still feel it behind you
Let it rain, let it pour, call me names it won't phase me
I don't care what they say
No denouncement could change me
'Cause it's only a matter of time 'til it finds you
Try to run for your life, you'll still feel it behind you
You will see
You will, you will see
You will see
You will, you will see
I'm in a constant distant state
I pray for this to always be
The path that has been chosen for me
'Cause it's got me spinning round and round, round and round
So high I can't touch the ground anymore
And it's all that I'm praying
So let it rain, let it pour, call me names it won't phase me
I don't care what they say
No denouncement could change me
'Cause it's only a matter of time 'til it finds you
Try to run for your life, you'll still feel it behind you
You will see
You will, you will see
You will, you will see
Everybody starts with a clean slate
Only altered by unnecessary hate
I pray that I will never be
Affected by how you portray me
'Cause it's got me spinning round and round, round and round
But I'm not scared of being down any more
Now there's no one controlling me
So let it rain, let it pour, call me names it won't phase me
I don't care what they say

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”
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
