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.
Little bitch wants money to burn
Little bitch got a lesson to learn
little bitch try's to sing and dance
Make it big by showin some ass
Little bitch wants to live in her own delusions
Little bitch is the queen of the virtuous mask
Little bitch got lost in her own confusions
Little bitch aint a genie in a bottle of glass
And when it all comes down
You'll be lost at the bottom
And when the fad dies out
You'll be long and forgotten
And when it all comes down
And when the smoke clears away
And when the fad dies out
You'll be nothing
A Pre canned star for mass production
A cookie cutter pop icon construction
A shallow little ass kiss art disaster
The paychecks grow but respect dies faster
Little punk wanna be a big star
Little punk wanna get real far
Little punk did it all for the nookie
And that little punk did it all for the cookie
Little punk needs to be inside the public eye
Little punk wants to thrive on the industry lie
Little punk is the product of an inflated market
Little punk is the bull's-eye of the industry target
And when it all comes down
You'll be lost at the bottom
And when the fad dies out
You'll be long and forgotten
And when it all comes down
And when the smoke clears away
And when the fad dies out
You'll be nothing
A Pre canned star for mass production
A cookie cutter pop icon construction
A shallow little ass kiss art disaster
The paychecks grow but respect dies faster
Opps you did it again, your 15 minutes is up
Oops you did it again, your 15 minutes is up
Oops you did it again, your 15 minutes is up
you little fucker
Oops you did it again, your 15 minutes is up
you little fuck

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
