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.
Let it come to pieces
Let it die, let it fall
A flood will come here anyway
Just put off decisions if you must
As the lamps
flicker back to life again
Come another century full of dust
Don't explain,
just call me when you're off the plane
Come December don't be cruel
Come a senseless train of thought
Come the weekend we'll get lost
Just in time to get caught in the rain
So hold out your raincoat
Let it fall and let it die
A flood will come here anyway
Come December don't be cruel
Come a senseless train of thought
Come the weekend we'll get lost
Just in time to get caught in the rain
How the houses start to lean
So precariously
When the pavements start to crack
As minutes fall to the floor
If we spend it all at once we've won
Come December don't be cruel
Come a senseless train of thought
Come the weekend we'll get lost
Just in time to get caught in the rain
So hold out your raincoat
Let it fall, let it die
A flood will come here anyway
Let it die, let it fall
A flood will come here anyway
Just put off decisions if you must
As the lamps
flicker back to life again
Come another century full of dust
Don't explain,
just call me when you're off the plane
Come December don't be cruel
Come a senseless train of thought
Come the weekend we'll get lost
Just in time to get caught in the rain
So hold out your raincoat
Let it fall and let it die
A flood will come here anyway
Come December don't be cruel
Come a senseless train of thought
Come the weekend we'll get lost
Just in time to get caught in the rain
How the houses start to lean
So precariously
When the pavements start to crack
As minutes fall to the floor
If we spend it all at once we've won
Come December don't be cruel
Come a senseless train of thought
Come the weekend we'll get lost
Just in time to get caught in the rain
So hold out your raincoat
Let it fall, let it die
A flood will come here anyway

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.

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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
