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.
Simon Napier Bell
Shapes in my mind
My eyes are closed
The colours cry
My brain explodes
My body shrinks into my head
I must have help or I'll be dead
Please
You've got to make be break this spell
You've got to give me all your help
You've got to stop my spinning brain
You've got to be with me again
I see your face
I see your smile
I see the eyes that used to cry
I see the lips I used to kiss
I can't forget
I see you standing all alone
I see the things that I did wrong
I see I didn't try enough
To give you love
The love you gave
And left behind
Has dropped and burned inside my mind
I can't see out
I can't see in
I know I'm lost, I can't explain
The pain I felt is here again
I've nothing left
Is this the end?
I see your face
I see your smile
I see the eyes that used to cry
I see the lips I used to kiss
I can't forget
I see you standing all alone
I see the things that I did wrong
I see I didn't try enough
To give you love
Shapes in my mind
My eyes are closed
The colours cry
My brain explodes
My body shrinks into my head
I must have help or I'll be dead
Please
You've got to make be break this spell
You've got to give me all your help
You've got to stop my spinning brain
You've got to be with me again
I see your face
I see your smile
I see the eyes that used to cry
I see the lips I used to kiss
I can't forget
I see you standing all alone
I see the things that I did wrong
I see I didn't try enough
To give you love
The love you gave
And left behind
Has dropped and burned inside my mind
I can't see out
I can't see in
I know I'm lost, I can't explain
The pain I felt is here again
I've nothing left
Is this the end?
I see your face
I see your smile
I see the eyes that used to cry
I see the lips I used to kiss
I can't forget
I see you standing all alone
I see the things that I did wrong
I see I didn't try enough
To give you love

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”
