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.
It said "Fok Karina" on the wall we were leaning
I get a feeling and she starts to grin
Adjusted my pants as my face turns to red
Foresight is so often blind
Just take the 2 to the 134
But first take the elevator to my floor
It's good to be bad if it's better than bored
Foresight is so often blind
Slur to a favorite rhyme
Girl eyes tend to hypnotize
The trance is so divine
Decide to be the reason why
I stay another night
Vodkareening through the hotel door
Guilty is really a choice and a chore
It's good to be bad if it's better than bored
Foresight is so often blind
Slur to a favorite rhyme and that's when
Girl eyes tend to hypnotize
The trance is so divine
Decide to be the reason why
I stay another night
I took her hand and then an aspirin in the morning
I took her hand and took her home
It said "Fok Karina" on the wall we were leaning on
Afraid of a common phenomenon again
Girl eyes tend to hypnotize
The trance is so divine
Decide to be the reason why
I stay another night
I get a feeling and she starts to grin
Adjusted my pants as my face turns to red
Foresight is so often blind
Just take the 2 to the 134
But first take the elevator to my floor
It's good to be bad if it's better than bored
Foresight is so often blind
Slur to a favorite rhyme
Girl eyes tend to hypnotize
The trance is so divine
Decide to be the reason why
I stay another night
Vodkareening through the hotel door
Guilty is really a choice and a chore
It's good to be bad if it's better than bored
Foresight is so often blind
Slur to a favorite rhyme and that's when
Girl eyes tend to hypnotize
The trance is so divine
Decide to be the reason why
I stay another night
I took her hand and then an aspirin in the morning
I took her hand and took her home
It said "Fok Karina" on the wall we were leaning on
Afraid of a common phenomenon again
Girl eyes tend to hypnotize
The trance is so divine
Decide to be the reason why
I stay another night

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.

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,

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
"Fok Karina" was just written on a wall that Max saw, it has no deeper meaning than that, just referencing a time and a place.
