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.
You are not my sunshine
Not my sunshine
Not my sunshine, darling
You are not my sunshine
Not my sunshine
Not my sunshine, baby
You are not my sunshine
Not my sunshine
Not my sunshine, sweetheart
You are not my sunshine
Not my sunshine
Not my sunshine
Leave me in hell to burn
I told you it's finally my turn
Let the fire eat my skin
The depression always wins
So I'll smile and laugh
Until my mouth is burning
I just wish I knew, how to connect with somebody
You're not my sunshine
Not my sunshine
You make me lose my mind every fucking day
You'll never know dear
How much I hate you
So please just stay the fuck away
The sun burns my skin (the sun burns my skin)
It makes me realise the darkness within
I think I'm sick because everything starts to spin
And you just watch me with a grin
You're not my sunshine
You're not my sunshine
You make me lose my mind every fucking day
You'll never know dear
How much I hate you
So please just stay the fuck away
Can you see me
Can you see me right here
Begging for you, begging for you
To disappear
So fuck this life
And fuck you too
Everything I've done has let me to what I'm gonna do
Gun in my hand
I can't fucking stand, it
I'm done I'm done I'm fucking done
[x2]
You're not my sunshine
You're not my sunshine
You make me lose my mind
Every fucking day
You'll never know dear
How much I hate you
So please just stay
The fuck away
Blegh
So stay the fuck away
Not my sunshine
Not my sunshine, darling
You are not my sunshine
Not my sunshine
Not my sunshine, baby
You are not my sunshine
Not my sunshine
Not my sunshine, sweetheart
You are not my sunshine
Not my sunshine
Not my sunshine
Leave me in hell to burn
I told you it's finally my turn
Let the fire eat my skin
The depression always wins
So I'll smile and laugh
Until my mouth is burning
I just wish I knew, how to connect with somebody
You're not my sunshine
Not my sunshine
You make me lose my mind every fucking day
You'll never know dear
How much I hate you
So please just stay the fuck away
The sun burns my skin (the sun burns my skin)
It makes me realise the darkness within
I think I'm sick because everything starts to spin
And you just watch me with a grin
You're not my sunshine
You're not my sunshine
You make me lose my mind every fucking day
You'll never know dear
How much I hate you
So please just stay the fuck away
Can you see me
Can you see me right here
Begging for you, begging for you
To disappear
So fuck this life
And fuck you too
Everything I've done has let me to what I'm gonna do
Gun in my hand
I can't fucking stand, it
I'm done I'm done I'm fucking done
[x2]
You're not my sunshine
You're not my sunshine
You make me lose my mind
Every fucking day
You'll never know dear
How much I hate you
So please just stay
The fuck away
Blegh
So stay the fuck away

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.

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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.
