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.
A trick that people use to make you think they are smart
Is confidence when actually they're lost in the dark
Only someone with the mind of a child says he'll grow up
Cause headin' down the avalance your life will show up
It's nice to be a victim of what happened too late
I wanna share my food, but you have stolen my plate
Hey now, hey now, go your way now
You tortured little girl
Showing them what love is all about
Where did all the time go?
Everywhere it's gone, gone, gone
You get the point now
You pick your self up off the bar, she's on his arm now
Coz they remind you of the pictures on the wall now
But she was young and I wasn't not even born yet
If you think I know a little more then
the average person on the streets, you aren't correct
Because I'm ignorant as shit, not here to preach man
You know I just wanna have fun, go to the beach man
That's all I am, I'm just a simple guy who talks when
you put a microphone in front of him
You twisted little girl
Showing them what life is all about
Where did all the time go?
Everywhere it's gone
Running laps in a relationship
Going in circles and i just can't wait
Running laps so we can get in shape
Get in shape because we can't escape
Running laps because I'm already late
Really not, I'm in the exact same place
Running laps in your relationship
Running away from the shadows themselves
The world's always amazed at how much cash you made
But not at how you made it, it's just strange
It sounded kinda cool over the phone
It killed your neighbours and their dog and crushed their bones
You tortured little girl
Showing them what laughter's all about
Where did all the wine go?
Every night it's gone
You got it all worked out
Funny little girl
Showing them what pain is all about
Where did all the time go?
Every night it's gone, gone, gone
You're the coolest girl in this whole town
I just wanna parade you around

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.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I think I figured it out, took some research. His parents were divorced when he was like 12. he is in fact talking about his mother, who way probobly an alchohaulic (where did all the wine go. And pick yourself up from the bar now). he is singing the song to both her, and us. this is why he switches from calling her "you" and "she" which makes it complicated. He seems to believe that her marriage was a mistake because she wasn't prepared given her problems. "The avalanche" is the crisis that is waiting to happen, which is when he was born. He believes his mother never took responsibility for the avalanche. This is where his plate gets stolen, because her life crisis fell on him. She is tortured, and showing them (himself and his siblings) what love is all about, when she cannot. Once the divorce happens, he claims that nostalgia and sobering up, begin to happen, but her nostalgia, which leave him (Linkous) out of the picture because he wasn't born, prompt her to behave like a little girl again. it's an waful cycle which makes her internal life mess become Linkouses problem too.
