He certainly did earn that reputation.
I draw them on reckless,
Etched in,
Scratched in like resurrection.
Your sins are killing you
And you can bet they'll get me too.
I've got to give some to get some.
Mining in the river
Standing in the rain.
Down on your knees
As you heave at the drain.
You can lead a whore to water
And bet she'll drink and follow orders.
And I said, "Is this what you wanted?"
"Is this what you needed?"
Give it some more time.
Tonight I'm going to a party,
But it's already started without me.
I aced philosophy
And mastered the art of spiritual phase.
I've got to give some to get some.
The disco ball spins away another year.
I wish you a broken heart and a happy new year.
Only three words come to mind.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
pentalarc, you're silly. Daryl doesn't hate women and isn't a abuser. I mean for fucks shake listen to Head Automatica. If that isn't some happy fun loving shit I don't know what is. You can't sing Beating Heart Baby while slapping your bitch around. :)
and of course I love this song.
