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 wrote a love song for the wrong girl
I guess I had to go through hell with her
Just to get to you
People talk bad about what they don't know
People talk bad when they can't see the truth
Like the way my heart goes crazy
When you walk in the room
You are the sad girl who lost her rocket
I had a dream about you
About a year before we fell in love
You lost your drag in the dream
Behind you
It is all that you can see
Even though it isn't real
It looks so big
But you can't see me
You are my everything, everyday
You ruin me for anybody else
You make all the old things new
With the sound of your voice
And the easy way you move
You are my everything, everyday
You ruin me in all the right ways
When I break down
You make me feel strong
When I lose my music
You help me find a new song
When I get my magic in a bottle
I will spend it all to heal your world
I will build a rocket for the girl
Someday
So please stop pushing me away
You gotta let go of the pain
Baby you gotta let go of the way things used to be
This life gets dark sometimes
Good things can be hard to see
Now I'm good for you
You are perfect for me
You are my everything, everyday
You ruin me for anybody else
You make everything seem new
With the sound of your voice
And the easy way you move
You are my everything, everyday
You ruin me in all the right ways
When I break down
You make me feel strong
When I lose my music
You help me find a new song
When I get my magic in the bottle
I will spend it all to heal your world
I will build a rocket for the girl
I will build a rocket for the girl
I will build a rocket for the girl
Someday

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.

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”
