its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Hot temper with the shortest fuse
You're such a mess with an attitude
You working hard but you're paying more
You never talk 'cause you don't have to
You got a job but you hate the man
Who takes it all like Uncle Sam
I want you you you you you you you
I I I I I I I want you
Out of gas so you walk for miles
To pick me up in your worn out shoes
You never settle or never take too much
You count on me just like I count on you
Kiss me like when I first saw you
Figured out couldn't be without you
You you you you you you you
I I I I I I I want you
I want you you you you you you you
I I I I I I I want you
No one else will do
I want
No one makes me smile
I want
No one gets me how
I want
No one else is you you you
I want you you you you you you you
I I I I I I I want you
I want you you you you you you you
I I I I I I I want you
You're so hot tempered with the shortest fuse
You're such a mess with an attitude
You you you you you you you
I I I I I I I want you
I want you you you you you you you
I I I I I I I want I want I want I want
No one else will do
I want
No one makes me smile
I want
No one gets me how
I want
No one else is you you you
I want you you you you you you you
I I I I I I I want you
I want you you you you you you you
I I I I I I I want you
I I want you
You and me walking together
Screwing up for worse or for better
You you you you you you you
I I I I I I I want you
You're such a mess with an attitude
You working hard but you're paying more
You never talk 'cause you don't have to
You got a job but you hate the man
Who takes it all like Uncle Sam
I want you you you you you you you
I I I I I I I want you
Out of gas so you walk for miles
To pick me up in your worn out shoes
You never settle or never take too much
You count on me just like I count on you
Kiss me like when I first saw you
Figured out couldn't be without you
You you you you you you you
I I I I I I I want you
I want you you you you you you you
I I I I I I I want you
No one else will do
I want
No one makes me smile
I want
No one gets me how
I want
No one else is you you you
I want you you you you you you you
I I I I I I I want you
I want you you you you you you you
I I I I I I I want you
You're so hot tempered with the shortest fuse
You're such a mess with an attitude
You you you you you you you

No one else will do

No one gets me how
I want
No one else is you you you
I want you you you you you you you
I I I I I I I want you
I want you you you you you you you
I I I I I I I want you
I I want you
You and me walking together
Screwing up for worse or for better
You you you you you you you
I I I I I I I want you

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.

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Clarkson wrote this song with Joakim Ã…hlund of the Swedish alternative rock band The Caesars ("Jerk It Out"). In publicity materials, Clarkson commented on the song's surprising theme. "First, it's not a boy-bashing song, so that's already different for me. Plus, I wrote it, so that makes it even weirder!"
