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.
I'm so tall, can't get over me
I'm so low, can't get under me
I must be all these things
For I just threw out the love of my dreams
He's in my eyes
He is in my ears
He's in my blood
He is in my tears
I breathe love and see him every day
Even though my love is a world away
Oh, he's got me wondering
My righteousness is crumbling
Never before have I felt this way
I know what is right, but want for him to stay
I must be made of steel
For I just threw out the love of my dreams
He's in my eyes
He is in my ears
He's in my blood
He is in my tears
I breathe love and see him every day
Even though my love is a world away
Oh, he's got me wondering
My righteousness is crumbling
Oh, he's got me wondering
My righteousness is crumbling
And I see him every day
Even though my love is a world away
He's in my eyes, he is in my ears
He's in my blood, he is in my tears
I must be made of steel
For I just threw out the love of my dreams
I'm so low, can't get under me
I must be all these things
For I just threw out the love of my dreams
He's in my eyes
He is in my ears
He's in my blood
He is in my tears
I breathe love and see him every day
Even though my love is a world away
Oh, he's got me wondering
My righteousness is crumbling
Never before have I felt this way
I know what is right, but want for him to stay
I must be made of steel
For I just threw out the love of my dreams
He's in my eyes
He is in my ears
He's in my blood
He is in my tears
I breathe love and see him every day
Even though my love is a world away
Oh, he's got me wondering
My righteousness is crumbling
Oh, he's got me wondering
My righteousness is crumbling
And I see him every day
Even though my love is a world away
He's in my eyes, he is in my ears
He's in my blood, he is in my tears
I must be made of steel
For I just threw out the love of my dreams

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.

@[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.

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,
Right after you break up with someone, you are going to feel something like this. Rivers captured the feeling perfectly.
