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.
Well look what I have found in this sinful place
Searching around for a better way
Come across something I left behind long ago
Finally realizing what I left behind is what I'm looking for
And why is it nothing seems right?
My mind's not on her tonight
It's happening again
Trying it all again
How can i go wrong
Trying to play the game but it's been so long
I guess I'll never know just what she sees in me
And now she realizes that I'm not the same person I used to be
And why is it nothing seems right?
My mind's not on her tonight
It's happening again
Why is it nothing seems right?
My mind's not on her tonight
It's happening again
Searching around for a better way
Come across something I left behind long ago
Finally realizing what I left behind is what I'm looking for
And why is it nothing seems right?
My mind's not on her tonight
It's happening again
Trying it all again
How can i go wrong
Trying to play the game but it's been so long
I guess I'll never know just what she sees in me
And now she realizes that I'm not the same person I used to be
And why is it nothing seems right?
My mind's not on her tonight
It's happening again
Why is it nothing seems right?
My mind's not on her tonight
It's happening again

@[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.
