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.
God I love to turn my little blue world upside down
God I love to turn my little blue world upside down
Inside my head the noise
Chatter chatter chatter chatter chatter
You see I'm afraid I'll always be
Still coming out of my mother
Upside down
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down?
I know you love to turn this little blue girl baby upside down
But my heart it says you've been
Shatter shatter shatter shatter shattered
And I know you're still a boy
Still coming out of your mother
But when you gonna stand on your own?
I say the world is sick
You say, 'tell me what that makes us darlin'
You see you always find my faults
Faster than you find your own
You say the world is getting rid of her demons
I say 'baby what have you been smokin'
Well I dreamed I dreamed I dreamed
I loved a black boy
My daddy would scream
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down?
Any kind of touch I think is better than none
Even upside down
But you see I'm tangled up
Got a kitten kitten kitten in my hair
Cincinnati - I like the word
It's the only thing we can't seem
To turn upside down
Well I found the secret to life
I found the secret to life
I'm okay when everything is not okay
Don't we love to turn our little blue world upside down?
Don't we love to turn our little blue world baby upside down?
Inside my head a voice
Chatter chatter chatter chatter chatter
And it says 'girl you're all the same
Still comin' out of your mother
Still comin' out of your mother
Upside down'
God I love to turn my little blue world upside down
Inside my head the noise
Chatter chatter chatter chatter chatter
You see I'm afraid I'll always be
Still coming out of my mother
Upside down
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down?
I know you love to turn this little blue girl baby upside down
But my heart it says you've been
Shatter shatter shatter shatter shattered
And I know you're still a boy
Still coming out of your mother
But when you gonna stand on your own?
I say the world is sick
You say, 'tell me what that makes us darlin'
You see you always find my faults
Faster than you find your own
You say the world is getting rid of her demons
I say 'baby what have you been smokin'
Well I dreamed I dreamed I dreamed
I loved a black boy
My daddy would scream
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down?
Any kind of touch I think is better than none
Even upside down
But you see I'm tangled up
Got a kitten kitten kitten in my hair
Cincinnati - I like the word
It's the only thing we can't seem
To turn upside down
Well I found the secret to life
I found the secret to life
I'm okay when everything is not okay
Don't we love to turn our little blue world upside down?
Don't we love to turn our little blue world baby upside down?
Inside my head a voice
Chatter chatter chatter chatter chatter
And it says 'girl you're all the same
Still comin' out of your mother
Still comin' out of your mother
Upside down'

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.
