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.
Let's talk about the way things were
Let's talk about the way things should be
I think I'm certain
But I'm not so sure
If I'll deliver what's expected of me
Let's make believe we're all OK
You better just pretend
We're doing better
Than we've ever been
I think it's safe to say
That we've forgotten what regrets worth
Cause that's exactly
What a catastrophe is
Ignoring warnings
Thinking kids will be kids will be
A delusion
Kept at a distance
I think it's strange to have to
Fight resistance
We're gonna get it right for the first time
We're gonna get it right
Gonna get it right
We're gonna get it right for the first time
Unmask ourselves
And we'll find
[Chorus]
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
I've given up on acting
Like I'm perfect
I advise you all
To do the same
Perfection's rare
So the last time I checked
We've all been introduced
To feeling ashamed
Let's talk about the way things were
Let's talk about the way things should be
I think I'm certain
But I'm not so sure
If I'll turn my back
As soon as God lets me
Cause that's exactly
What a catastrophe is
Ignoring warnings
Thinking kids will be kids will be
A delusion
Kept at a distance
I think it's strange to have to
Fight resistance
We're gonna get it right for the first time
We're gonna get it right
Gonna get it right
We're gonna get it right for the first time
Cause when we try it alone
Then we find
[Chorus]
(And it's been brought to my attention
That nothing's really worth the mention)
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
(When me and You, subtract the latter
Equals nothing really matters)
You make me sure, in the midst
Of heartbreak and turbulence
That my spirit soars
Only because it's Yours
[Chorus]
(And it's been brought to my attention
That nothings really worth the mention)
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
(When me and You, subtract the latter
Equals nothing really matters)
[Chorus]
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
Let's talk about the way things should be
I think I'm certain
But I'm not so sure
If I'll deliver what's expected of me
Let's make believe we're all OK
You better just pretend
We're doing better
Than we've ever been
I think it's safe to say
That we've forgotten what regrets worth
Cause that's exactly
What a catastrophe is
Ignoring warnings
Thinking kids will be kids will be
A delusion
Kept at a distance
I think it's strange to have to
Fight resistance
We're gonna get it right for the first time
We're gonna get it right
Gonna get it right
We're gonna get it right for the first time
Unmask ourselves
And we'll find
[Chorus]
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
We're nothing
We're nothing
We're nothing without You
I've given up on acting
Like I'm perfect
I advise you all
To do the same
Perfection's rare
So the last time I checked

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

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/
