Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Well I guess you're gone
To Californ-i-a
And I dont expect you'll be
Coming back this way
Real soon
Real soon
It was in the Spring
A couple of years ago
We fell in love
But I let you go
So soon
So soon
If I had the stars
I'd throw them on the ground
If I had the sun
I'd take and burn it down
Because I just can't leave
Well enough alone
I just can't leave
Well enough alone
So I wrote this song
To tell you that I am
So sorry and I hope
That you understand
How much I never meant
To make you cry
How much I
Never meant to make you cry
And I guess you're gone
To Californ-i-a
And I don't expect you'll be
Com
Well I guess you're gone

Never meant to make you cry

And I don't expect you'll b
Coming back this way

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.
