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.
Take me down to corner of a million miles
Where time is a waste of time
Find me a pleasant tomb
And a wishing bone to be left alone with
I'll be waiting by the phone line
Tookah, you're mine
Said the girl you left her so divine
Woah, woah
Come down to the corner of my pain
It's been rigged, yeah anyway
I've been a lonesome babe more than I ever told
And breathe
Oh, your mind is a pleasure tomb
Drifting along the gold, gold, golden
Latch your senses override-ride
Tookah, you're mine
Said the girl you left her so divine
Tookah, mine
Woah
And breathe, oh your mind is a pleasure tomb
Drifting along the gold, gold, golden
Where time is a waste of time
Find me a pleasant tomb
And a wishing bone to be left alone with
I'll be waiting by the phone line
Tookah, you're mine
Said the girl you left her so divine
Woah, woah
Come down to the corner of my pain
It's been rigged, yeah anyway
I've been a lonesome babe more than I ever told
And breathe
Oh, your mind is a pleasure tomb
Drifting along the gold, gold, golden
Latch your senses override-ride
Tookah, you're mine
Said the girl you left her so divine
Tookah, mine
Woah
And breathe, oh your mind is a pleasure tomb
Drifting along the gold, gold, golden

Van Halen
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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
