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.
Chcemy żyć ponad stan
Ubrani lepiej niż Steven Seagal
Chcemy wcierać w nos i uprawiać seks
Śpiewać jak Tom Waits
Nie mówi mi, że nie brakuje nam nic
Tylko trochę piękna
Nie wiesz nic, a usiłujesz sam być kimś
Chcemy być bogaci i źli
Szybcy jak James Dean
A gdy przychodzi żal rozpadamy się
Prawie jak Kurt Cobain
Czemu wszyscy usiłują być kimś
Lub robić to jak inni
Czemu ty nie musisz starać się jakiś być
Musisz starać się być kimś
Ubrani lepiej niż Steven Seagal
Chcemy wcierać w nos i uprawiać seks
Śpiewać jak Tom Waits
Nie mówi mi, że nie brakuje nam nic
Tylko trochę piękna
Nie wiesz nic, a usiłujesz sam być kimś
Chcemy być bogaci i źli
Szybcy jak James Dean
A gdy przychodzi żal rozpadamy się
Prawie jak Kurt Cobain
Czemu wszyscy usiłują być kimś
Lub robić to jak inni
Czemu ty nie musisz starać się jakiś być
Musisz starać się być kimś

@[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.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
We want to live beyond our means Dressed better than Steven Seagal We want to rub on the nose and have sex Sing like Tom Waits
Don’t tell me that we don’t miss anything But a little bit of beauty You don’t know a thing and try to be somebody
We want to be bad and rich Quick like James Dean And when the grief comes we fall apart Almost like Kurt Cobain
Why everybody wants to be somebody Or follow the crowd Why you don’t have to try to be like that
You have to try to be somebody
