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'm fallen 'cause
I wanted to live my...my own way
and now my spirit fades away
away...within me
I'm fallen 'cause
I've thought I could find my...my own truth
but now I see that I was wrong
now I see - the truth is one
What have I done ?
Unwavering God
grave's gonna be my end
Deliver me
Though yet I'm the living dead
Behold
Creeping fear is killing me
lost in the Vale of Tears
trapped by my darkest dreams
Forgive me my Lord
Forgive me my Lord
We're fallen and
how could we beg for just one more chance ?
though all our deeds are an attempt
to show....we do regret
What have we done ?
God ! What we've done ?
forgive us
Unwavering God
grave's gonna be my end
Deliver me
Though yet I'm the living dead
God Watch
Few of us claim: we do see
Are You there ?
Or You're just a fantasy ?
Forgive my doubts
Forgive my doubts
Forgive my doubts
I wanted to live my...my own way
and now my spirit fades away
away...within me
I'm fallen 'cause
I've thought I could find my...my own truth
but now I see that I was wrong
now I see - the truth is one
What have I done ?
Unwavering God
grave's gonna be my end
Deliver me
Though yet I'm the living dead
Behold
Creeping fear is killing me
lost in the Vale of Tears
trapped by my darkest dreams
Forgive me my Lord
Forgive me my Lord
We're fallen and
how could we beg for just one more chance ?
though all our deeds are an attempt
to show....we do regret
What have we done ?
God ! What we've done ?
forgive us
Unwavering God
grave's gonna be my end
Deliver me
Though yet I'm the living dead
God Watch
Few of us claim: we do see
Are You there ?
Or You're just a fantasy ?
Forgive my doubts
Forgive my doubts
Forgive my doubts

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 is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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 song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
