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.
Felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders
Should I break or retreat and then return
Facing the fear that the truth, I discover
No telling how, all these will work out
But I've come to far to go back now.
I am looking for freedom, looking for freedom
And to find it cost me everything I have
Well I am looking for freedom, looking for freedom
And to find it, may take everything I have
I know all too well it don't come easy
The chains of the world they seem to movin' tight
I try to walk around if I'm stumbling so come
Tryin' to get up but the doubt is so strong
There's gotta be a winning in my bones
I'm looking for freedom, looking for freedom
And to find it, cost me everything I have
Well I'm looking for freedom, I'm looking for freedom
And to find it, may take everything I have
Oh not giving up there's always been hard, so hard
But if I do the thanks lase the way I won't get far.
Mhm, life hasn't been very kind to me lately, (Well)
But I suppose it's a push from moving on (Oh yeah)
In time the sun's gonna shine on me nicely (On me yeah )
Sudden tells me 'cause things are coming
And I ain't gonna not believe
I'm looking for freedom, looking for freedom
And to find it, cost me everything I have
Well I'm looking for freedom, I'm looking for freedom
And to find it, may take everything I have
Should I break or retreat and then return
Facing the fear that the truth, I discover
No telling how, all these will work out
But I've come to far to go back now.
I am looking for freedom, looking for freedom
And to find it cost me everything I have
Well I am looking for freedom, looking for freedom
And to find it, may take everything I have

I try to walk around if I'm stumbling so come
Tryin' to get up but the doubt is so strong
There's gotta be a winning in my bones
I'm looking for freedom, looking for freedom
And to find it, cost me everything I have
Well I'm looking for freedom, I'm looking for freedom

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
To me this song is about a person in a very difficult or destructive relationship. They know this relationship is not good for them and are afraid of facing the truth but they finally decide to move on, even though they know it will be hard to do it and they will have to leave a lot behind. I find this song very inspirational, like motivating the person to do it, to take that step and look for the freedom or life they deserve. It will be hard but in time they will get good things in their life.
@vehiku You JUST described my life...every word of it. Needed this. Thanks.
