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.
I know it's late
I shouldn't call at this hour
But yet, my fate
I need lips to devour
My nervous system is shot alright
I won't sleep unless you
Sleep with me tonight
Deep with me tonight
I know it's late
We've known each other a while
I can't wait
To see your twisted smile
Kindred spirit of candle light
I won't sleep unless you
Sleep with me tonight
Deep with me tonight
And my thought to my saint
I'm so tired but I faint
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me tonight
Drown out the machinery in my head
Bring your peace of mind to my bed
Without sleep there are no dreams
Without dreams, we fall apart at the seams
Kindred spirit of candle light
I won't sleep unless you
Sleep with me tonight
Deep with me tonight
And my thought to my saint
I'm so tired but I faint
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep
I shouldn't call at this hour
But yet, my fate
I need lips to devour
My nervous system is shot alright
I won't sleep unless you
Sleep with me tonight
Deep with me tonight
I know it's late
We've known each other a while
I can't wait
To see your twisted smile
Kindred spirit of candle light
I won't sleep unless you
Sleep with me tonight
Deep with me tonight
And my thought to my saint
I'm so tired but I faint
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me tonight
Drown out the machinery in my head
Bring your peace of mind to my bed
Without sleep there are no dreams
Without dreams, we fall apart at the seams
Kindred spirit of candle light
I won't sleep unless you
Sleep with me tonight
Deep with me tonight
And my thought to my saint
I'm so tired but I faint
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me tonight

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.
Fast Car

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
