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.
Flip the beat
Oh yeah, I'm feelin' this one
You remember back in the old school days?
You used to have joints like this
And you'd be up in the club dancin' like your moms and your pops
I know y'all know what I'm talkin' about
So we goin' flip it like this, uh, uh
Before you take me out, let's have a conversation
No touchy-touchy 'cause it might lead to havin' relations
Let's get to the point, boy, no abbreviations
Don't want to give it up too quick, I want to build up anticipation
Once you get me, will you know how to act?
Will you do me right? (Ooh, I need to know, I need to know)
Once you get me, will you keep my pockets fat
Keep me lookin' tight? (Ooh, yeah, yeah)
I want to give it some time and get to know each other
Let's be friends before we think about being lovers
Ain't no need to rush it, if this is forever
If you wait on this love, I promise it'll get more better and better
Once you get me, will you know how to act?
Will you do me right? (Do me right, oh)
Once you get me, will you keep my pockets fat
Keep me lookin' tight? (Lookin' tight, oh)
Flashlights (flashlight)
Neon lights (neon light)
Party rides, all night
Love me right, keep me lookin' tight (lookin' tight)
So nice (so nice)
That's what I like
Once you get me, will you know how to act?
Will you do me right? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Once you get me, will you keep my pockets fat
Keep me lookin' tight? (Ah, ah)
Once you get me, will you know how to act?
Will you do me right? (All night)
Once you get me, will you keep my pockets fat
Keep me lookin' tight? (Lookin' tight, oh)
Oh yeah, I'm feelin' this one
You remember back in the old school days?
You used to have joints like this
And you'd be up in the club dancin' like your moms and your pops
I know y'all know what I'm talkin' about
So we goin' flip it like this, uh, uh
Before you take me out, let's have a conversation

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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
