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.
Little sister, I'm gonna miss ya
Sometimes you keep me up all night long
When your memory, comes to me
If it don't kill me then it'll make me strong
Little sister, now you'll be eighteen
And posing in your graduation dress
It's probably better, we're not together
The world's on fire, it's a fucked up mess
Do your wings fit good, can you fly?
And do your wings fit good, can you fly?
It's almost like you've been carrying me
A little angel always watching over me
Save me from the danger I can't see
I always seem to know where I'm supposed to be
When in the darkest place, (whoa)
You're my light, you're my saving grace (whoa)
You'll be an angel but you'll always be
Little sister
Little sister, I'm here for ya
If you ever need to talk to me
Not gonna keep you, just love to see you
Is there any way they'll let you leave?
Do your wings fit good, can you fly?
And do your wings fit good, can you fly?
It's almost like you've been carrying me
A little angel always watching over me
Save me from the danger I can't see
I always seem to know where I'm supposed to be
When in the darkest place, (whoa)
You're my light, you're my saving grace (whoa)
You'll be an angel but you'll always be
Little sister
Do your wings fit good, can you fly?
I hope your wings fit good, when you fly
It's almost like you've been carrying me
A little angel always watching over me
Save me from the danger I can't see
I always seem to know where I'm supposed to be
When in the darkest place, (whoa)
You're my light, you're my saving grace (whoa)
You'll be an angel but you'll always be
Little sister
Litter sister
I hope your wings fit good
Sometimes you keep me up all night long
When your memory, comes to me
If it don't kill me then it'll make me strong
Little sister, now you'll be eighteen
And posing in your graduation dress
It's probably better, we're not together
The world's on fire, it's a fucked up mess
Do your wings fit good, can you fly?
And do your wings fit good, can you fly?
It's almost like you've been carrying me
A little angel always watching over me
Save me from the danger I can't see
I always seem to know where I'm supposed to be
When in the darkest place, (whoa)
You're my light, you're my saving grace (whoa)
You'll be an angel but you'll always be

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Do your wings fit good, can you fly? I hope your wings fit good, when you fly.
It's almost like you've been carrying me, A little angel always watching over me. Save me from the danger I can't see, So I know where I'm supposed to be.
Seems like his little sister may have passed away. Or even a girl that the thought of as his "little sister".
It is about his little sister. She died when she was a baby, and it's something that he's never quite been able to get over. I don't remember how old he was when it occurred, but it definitely stuck with him.
@DiggityDugs Do you know her name?
