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.
Boy it's been a long time since the last time I saw you
Feels like nothing changed since we been together
I must admit that I feel crazy about you
And I can see it in your eyes
That there something you want to say to me
Cause usually right now you would be holding onto me
But instead you're telling me that things
Have changed they're not the same
And recently you found someone that you
Decided to dedicate your whole life to
And what we had has to be through
And baby what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love so
And I know things are different now
You've gone and settled down
I thought for sure you'd always wait for me
I tell you what hurts the most
Is that should have took the chance
Boy when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me I thought I would always have your heart
I had the chance to have all the love Oh how I'm missing you now
I hate that there's someone new coming in and taking my place
Doing the things we used to do and making love to you no
What am I supposed to do it's killing me that I want you'
And you should have known my love was true
And there no one else in this world for me but you
Things have changes they're not the same
That recently you found someone
That you decided to dedicate your whole life to
And what we had has to be through
And baby what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love so
And I know things are different now
You've gone and settled down
I thought for sure you'd always wait for me
I tell you what hurts the most
Is that should have took the chance
Boy when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me I thought I would always have your heart
I had the chance to have all the love
Oh how I'm missing you now
I know I'm the one to blame for losing you
I really really wish that I could be happy for you
There's just one thing I need you to do
Don't you touch her like you used to touch me
Don't you love her like you really needed me
Don't you love her like you used to love me
And baby what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love so
And I know things are different now
You've gone and settled down
I thought for sure you'd always wait for me
I tell you what hurts the most
Is that should have took the chance
Boy when you came to me and offered me your hand
Silly of me I thought I would always have your heart
I had the chance to have all the love
Oh how I'm missing you now
What hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love so
Feels like nothing changed since we been together
I must admit that I feel crazy about you
And I can see it in your eyes
That there something you want to say to me
Cause usually right now you would be holding onto me
But instead you're telling me that things
Have changed they're not the same
And recently you found someone that you

And what we had has to be through
And baby what hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love so
And I know things are different now
You've gone and settled down
I thought for sure you'd always wait for me
I tell you what hurts the most

Oh how I'm missing you now
What hurts the most is letting go
I just want you to know that I love so

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.
