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.
I thought that we were set for life
We'd be together man and wife
But all the plans I made for us have changed
I thought I could decide for you
Everything that we would do
I wish I could've bit my tongue
But I kept going on and on
Words of wisdom
Everyone offers me
Words of wisdom
Now I can see that it's easy on the outside to give out advice
And now you're gone I can recognise
What I put you through
With those words of wisdom
I gave to you
Everybody's telling me (Everybody's telling me)
It clearly wasn't meant to be
But they don't know how much I hurt you
I was wrong
Now I realise I'm being wise (So wise)
Doesn't always mean to critisice
And by driving your love away
I know now what not to say
Words of wisdom
Everyone offers me
Words of wisdom
Now I can see that it's easy on the outside
Then to give out advise
And now you're gone I can recognise
What I put you through
With those words of wisdom
I gave to you
They tell me how life goes on
And I gotta be strong
But I don't wanna be looked upon
As someone who really needs...
Words of wisdom
Everyone offers me
Words of wisdom
Now I can see that it's easy on the outside
Then to give out advise
And now you're gone I can recognise
What I put you through
With those words of wisdom
I gave to you
I gave to you
(Words of wisdom)
I gave to you
(Words of wisdom)
I gave to you
(Words of wisdom)

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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
