Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Come now to the edge of the room soon they'll come in and come up here let them find an effigy you can see them all crowdin' around but they'll never find me head man I live to see you roll away they'll never ever ever find me they'll never ever ever find me head man, walkig, right infront of me don't you, look in, I'm not here you see dead man told me wher I am to hide said he's waitin' there, where it's all even... you can feel them coming up through your heels the hidden afraid are never betrayed outside misconstructed the search continues by the already gound and taken away oh and in a different place the hands that hold your face are only trying only tryin' to keep you warm they'll never ever ever find me they'll never ever ever find me hedman, walking, right in front of me don't you, look in, I'm not here you see deadman told me where I am to hide said he's waitin thre, where it's all walk on, will we, walk on even... with our heads to the wall let them find that they'll never find us all hey I wanted a life less hidden they wanted a life but I'll never give them part of me... part of me...

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
From the scene in Dispatch's "Under The Radar" DVD, Chad explains how his Grandfater, "Lavish McTavish", would often sit and listen to them practice and be extremely supportive. They were very close. When they were recording Even for this album, Chad got a call saying he had passed away, so to offset the bridge that "needed something more" as he said, he put in audio from his grandfather's large collection of memoirs that he had recorded on tape.
In the same interview Chad also mentions how this song is about a young boy hiding from the invading Nazis during WWII.
