Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
I'm waiting around 'cause I haven't got paid yet
I'm banging my head on the side of the pavement
You're turning this into some kind of freak show
You gotta stop, I'm still waiting
Abandoned again
I thought you we're my friend
Abandoned again
I thought you we're my friend but you abandoned me again
You're flying your colors for all to see
You're fooling you're friends but you ain't fooling me, no
You closed the door and shut me out
What the hell ya' think I'm talking about?
Abandoned again
I thought you we're my friend
Abandoned so what?
Knife in my gut
No love is lost
Out if the grey, just go away
I've heard it all, enough of your bullshit
About your mouth, it's time you closed it
You've burned all your bridges, there's nobody left
Abandoned again
I thought you we're my friend
Abandoned again
I thought you we're my friend but you abandoned me again
I'm banging my head on the side of the pavement
You're turning this into some kind of freak show
You gotta stop, I'm still waiting
Abandoned again
I thought you we're my friend
Abandoned again
I thought you we're my friend but you abandoned me again
You're flying your colors for all to see
You're fooling you're friends but you ain't fooling me, no
You closed the door and shut me out
What the hell ya' think I'm talking about?
Abandoned again
I thought you we're my friend
Abandoned so what?
Knife in my gut
No love is lost
Out if the grey, just go away
I've heard it all, enough of your bullshit
About your mouth, it's time you closed it
You've burned all your bridges, there's nobody left
Abandoned again
I thought you we're my friend
Abandoned again
I thought you we're my friend but you abandoned me again

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.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
