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 can tell you never listen
'Cause there's something that you're missing
The point of this is so we can be
So come a little closer
So we can try to fight through
The pain and the suffering
If words could tell you
Then I'd write them down
In a letter that explains me better than you
Than you
And all of this amounts to something more
Than I could ever sell you out for
I want to say it all
Was it something I said
That made you leave forever
Fade away and search forever
Your eyes will pierce me until I close mine
It's now or never (x2)
I can't think straight when I feel you
Your thoughts are all around me
Strangling the way I am
Face the facts, girl
You betrayed me
But still I'm here
And I'm not leaving
Make it up to me
If words could tell you
Then I'd write them down
In a letter that explains me better than you
Than you
And all of this amounts to something more
Than I could ever sell you out for
I want to say it all
Was it something I said
That made you leave forever
Fade away and search forever
Your eyes will pierce me until I close mine
It's now or never (x2)
I want to say it all
Make it up to me
I want to say it all
Because nothing's for free (x2)
I want to see it all
Was it something I said
That made you leave forever
Fade away and search for ever
Your eyes will pierce me until I close mine
It's now or never (x2)
'Cause there's something that you're missing
The point of this is so we can be
So come a little closer
So we can try to fight through
The pain and the suffering
If words could tell you
Then I'd write them down
In a letter that explains me better than you
Than you
And all of this amounts to something more
Than I could ever sell you out for
I want to say it all
Was it something I said
That made you leave forever
Fade away and search forever
Your eyes will pierce me until I close mine
It's now or never (x2)
I can't think straight when I feel you
Your thoughts are all around me
Strangling the way I am
Face the facts, girl
You betrayed me
But still I'm here
And I'm not leaving
Make it up to me
If words could tell you
Then I'd write them down
In a letter that explains me better than you
Than you
And all of this amounts to something more
Than I could ever sell you out for
I want to say it all
Was it something I said
That made you leave forever
Fade away and search forever
Your eyes will pierce me until I close mine
It's now or never (x2)
I want to say it all
Make it up to me
I want to say it all
Because nothing's for free (x2)
I want to see it all
Was it something I said
That made you leave forever
Fade away and search for ever
Your eyes will pierce me until I close mine
It's now or never (x2)

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
