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.
Almost home, lay your head down
It's a grateful road like you showed me
There is comfort in what you know
But cannot see
Almost home just like you told me
This isn't the end, there's so much left
Beyond the edge of brokenness
Darling we are all fallen
And the ground can hold both sinner and saint
Why do you wanna wait, why do you want, why do you wanna wait?
The moment you break is the dawn of grace
Still you're clothed in scarlet stains
You try to wash them clean but it never fade
And I know you feel like you can barely walk
The savage wolves don't spare the flock
This will take, this will take more than your own strength
But this isn't the end, a second chance rests
Beyond the edge of brokenness
Even though we're all fallen
Love knows both sinner and saint
Why do you wanna wait, why do you want, why do you wanna wait?
The moment you break is the dawn of grace
This isn't the end, it's only the edge of courage, this isn't the end
This isn't the end, there's so much left beyond the edge of brokenness
Hang onto the only hope of the young and old, the sinner and saint
Hang onto grace and never run, never run away, yeah
The moment you break is the dawn, the moment you break is the dawn of grace
Almost home, lay your head down
It's a grateful road like you showed me
There is comfort in what you know
But cannot see
Almost home just like you told me
This isn't the end, there's so much left
Beyond the edge of brokenness
Darling we are all fallen
And the ground can hold both sinner and saint
Why do you wanna wait, why do you want, why do you wanna wait?
The moment you break is the dawn of grace
Still you're clothed in scarlet stains
You try to wash them clean but it never fade
And I know you feel like you can barely walk
The savage wolves don't spare the flock
This will take, this will take more than your own strength
But this isn't the end, a second chance rests
Beyond the edge of brokenness
Even though we're all fallen
Love knows both sinner and saint
Why do you wanna wait, why do you want, why do you wanna wait?
The moment you break is the dawn of grace
This isn't the end, it's only the edge of courage, this isn't the end
This isn't the end, there's so much left beyond the edge of brokenness
Hang onto the only hope of the young and old, the sinner and saint
Hang onto grace and never run, never run away, yeah
The moment you break is the dawn, the moment you break is the dawn of grace
Almost home, lay your head down

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.
Holiday

@[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.
