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.
Bet you really weren't born yesterday
See you treated in your way
It's the same than more than I can do
Wish I really could get through to you
I bet you lovin' baby
Times are tough
This shit is crazy
Super sonic lover
Give you everything you ever need
Who's gonna save me from myself?
Who's gonna save me from my own childish games?
Who's gonna save me from the help of losin' you?
Losin' my soul
And I wish that things could be the same
I know your hearts against it's such a shame
Wishin' you'd let me make this move
For fuck's sake, just let me get close to you
I bet you lovin' baby
Times are tough

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.
