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.
We went one day
About a month ago (a-ha-ha)
To have a little fun (a-ha)
In Mexico
We ended up
In a gambling spot (oh yeah) a-ha-ha
Where the liquor flow-owed
And the dice were hot
So here we are
In the Tijuana Jail
Ain't got no friends
To go our bail
So here we'll stay
'Cause we can't pay
Just send our mail
To the Tijuana Jail
I was shootin' dice,
Rakin' in the dough (long green)
And then I heard
The whistle blow
We started to run
When a man in blue
Said, Señor, come with me
'Cause I want you
So here we are
In the Tijuana Jail
Ain't got no friends
To go our bail
So here we'll stay
'Cause we can't pay
Just send our mail
To the Tijuana Jail
Just five hundred dollars
And they'll set us free
I couldn't raise a penny
If ya threatened me
I know five hundred
Don't sound like much
But just try to find
Somebody to touch
So here we are
In the Tijuana Jail
Ain't got no friends
To go our bail
So here we'll stay
'Cause we can't pay
Just send our mail
To the Tijuana Jail
So here we are
In the Tijuana Jail
Ain't got no friends
To go our bail
So here we'll stay
'Cause we can't pay
Just send our mail

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Holiday

@[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.
