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 am breathless
all i feel is pain in this
world my words are in vain
i am breathless what is this life
my words are in vain
brace your self
this aint what you wanna hear
i am breathless what is this life
my words are in vain
all i feel is pain in this world my words are in vain
will i ever understand
will i ever wake up
will i ever understand
ughh
as the pain fades the lies infect
everything i built
what is this life its so unclear
i swear its all a dream
no air in my lungs i cannot breathe
i cannot fight what i don't believe
will i ever understand
all i feel is pain in this
world my words are in vain
i am breathless what is this life
my words are in vain
brace your self
this aint what you wanna hear
i am breathless what is this life
my words are in vain
all i feel is pain in this world my words are in vain
will i ever understand
will i ever wake up
will i ever understand
ughh
as the pain fades the lies infect
everything i built
what is this life its so unclear
i swear its all a dream
no air in my lungs i cannot breathe
i cannot fight what i don't believe
will i ever understand

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
