He certainly did earn that reputation.
A little white house
It's everything we've
Dreamed about
I wanted you to know
I'm hanging up my ego
We shouldn't have to fight
Or worry about the bills tonight
I wanted you to know
I want to be your shadow
The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
We'll bury this hate
And build it with love
The grass wasn't greener
I found
I wanted you to know
I dug you up a rainbow
I know, I know I failed you
I hope, I hope we get to
Sunny days again
It's everything we've
Dreamed about
I wanted you to know
I'm hanging up my ego
We shouldn't have to fight
Or worry about the bills tonight
I wanted you to know
I want to be your shadow
The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
We'll bury this hate
And build it with love
The grass wasn't greener
I found
I wanted you to know
I dug you up a rainbow
I know, I know I failed you
I hope, I hope we get to
Sunny days again

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

@[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.
I think that this is a song from a guy who had an affair on his wife. 'Grass wasn't greener I found'? Things were going bad, so he went out and had an affair. 'I wanted you to know, I'm hanging up my ego.' He realizes how wrong it was, and that he loves his wife. So he keeps making her these promises that he'll work more on the marriage this time round. 'I wanna be your shadow'- he'll let her know where he is all the time if she needs. Infact, he'll never go anywhere without her again if that's what it'll take to get her to take him back.
'And I know I know I failed you And I hope I hope we get through.'
I think the first line, the way it's sung, is just heartbreaking. Also, isn't the next line 'Sunny days again'? I thought it was, just because of the entire sun euphenism.
