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.
Well the hell kept whacking me down
Whack Whack Whack Whack
But the band they kept on playing
When the tide it hugged at her ankles
They had to roll their pants up to the shins
The Greedy Green
Greasy hands
Rusted elbows squeak
Squeak squeak squeak squeak
But the band they kept on playing
And there never going to STOP!!
And thats a fact
I know
One thing that is
and it aint looking too good
He had 16 fingers on each of his hands
Just imagine how good he could play the baby grand
And the tide it hugged at her ankles
They had to roll their pants up to the shins
The Greedy Green
Greasy hands
Rusted elbows squeak
Squeak squeak squeak squeak
But the band they kept on playing
And they aint never going to STOP!!
I know
One thing that is
and it aint looking too good
Whack Whack Whack Whack
But the band they kept on playing
When the tide it hugged at her ankles
They had to roll their pants up to the shins
The Greedy Green
Greasy hands
Rusted elbows squeak
Squeak squeak squeak squeak
But the band they kept on playing
And there never going to STOP!!
And thats a fact
I know
One thing that is
and it aint looking too good
He had 16 fingers on each of his hands
Just imagine how good he could play the baby grand
And the tide it hugged at her ankles
They had to roll their pants up to the shins
The Greedy Green
Greasy hands
Rusted elbows squeak
Squeak squeak squeak squeak
But the band they kept on playing
And they aint never going to STOP!!
I know
One thing that is
and it aint looking too good

@[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.

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.
It's "I know what it ain't and it ain't lookin' to good" instead of "one thing that is"
