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'm not mad
I'm just bored
And everything I do is only because
There's nothing much else for me to do
And that includes you
Messing around with you
Piss away potential
Everyday is a waste
And I'm wasted everyday
There's nothing much else for me to do
And that includes you and that includes you
Messing around with you
You see me now a little bit clearer
The face I make when I'm looking in the mirror
It gives me away
The things that I say
You think you know where I'm coming from
The words I say when I'm playing dumb
It gives me away
It gives me away
One more thing before we go
I've stepped over everyone I know
Everyone I know
You see me now a little bit clearer
The face I make when I'm looking in the mirror
It gives me away
You think you know where I'm coming from
The words I say when I'm playing dumb
It gives me away
It gives me away
It gives me away
I'm always ashamed
I'm always ashamed
And that's no way to be
I'm just bored
And everything I do is only because
There's nothing much else for me to do
And that includes you
Messing around with you
Piss away potential
Everyday is a waste
And I'm wasted everyday
There's nothing much else for me to do
And that includes you and that includes you
Messing around with you
You see me now a little bit clearer
The face I make when I'm looking in the mirror
It gives me away
The things that I say
You think you know where I'm coming from
The words I say when I'm playing dumb
It gives me away
It gives me away
One more thing before we go
I've stepped over everyone I know
Everyone I know
You see me now a little bit clearer
The face I make when I'm looking in the mirror
It gives me away
You think you know where I'm coming from
The words I say when I'm playing dumb
It gives me away
It gives me away
It gives me away
I'm always ashamed
I'm always ashamed
And that's no way to be

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
Even though he says he's not mad, I believe he is mad, but at himself. Whatever girl he's messing around with, he doesn't cognitively want to, but continues to do so anyway, out of boredom? Perhaps loneliness. Even though she's bad for him, he keeps going back for more.
