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.
Old man put down your bottle, go and tidy up your room
The t.v. is broken. There ain't no room, there ain't no food.
There ain't no air only cigarettes and it's
Time to tell us something
And he turns with his eyes wide open and bleedin'
And cryin' tell us what did you see
In the neon in the half light
Did you dream us a number
Did you dream us a winner
Tell us what did you
Dream?
Don't pretend like you don't love us really you're a
Part of it all goin'
Bad and money
You'll get a little
Maybe you can take a walk outside,
Breathe the air
See what it's like to be
Alive.
And he turns and he wonders what city he is in
In a motel on some highway
With bruises on his skin
In the neon in the half light did you dream us a number did you dream
Us a winner, tell us what did you dream?
And he turns and he smiles and he makes them wonder
He say's I'll give you a number he say's I'll give you
A dream
It ain't Jersey it ain't Lilly it ain't no bloody mare or queen
That keeps on comin' in to keep us in this hell that
We're in.
She lives on the third floor.
She has three children to feed.
I'll give you her number, you can call her and ask her
If she remembers me.
The t.v. is broken. There ain't no room, there ain't no food.
There ain't no air only cigarettes and it's
Time to tell us something
And he turns with his eyes wide open and bleedin'
And cryin' tell us what did you see
In the neon in the half light
Did you dream us a number
Did you dream us a winner
Tell us what did you
Dream?
Don't pretend like you don't love us really you're a
Part of it all goin'
Bad and money
You'll get a little
Maybe you can take a walk outside,
Breathe the air
See what it's like to be
Alive.
And he turns and he wonders what city he is in
In a motel on some highway
With bruises on his skin
In the neon in the half light did you dream us a number did you dream
Us a winner, tell us what did you dream?
And he turns and he smiles and he makes them wonder
He say's I'll give you a number he say's I'll give you
A dream
It ain't Jersey it ain't Lilly it ain't no bloody mare or queen
That keeps on comin' in to keep us in this hell that
We're in.
She lives on the third floor.
She has three children to feed.
I'll give you her number, you can call her and ask her
If she remembers me.

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.

Holiday

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
