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.
Here we are in the big, big city
Plenty of ways to spend your money
Getting ripped off is a way of life
Stick your money on a skin flint knife
No,no,no,no it's too shitty
I don't want to live in the big, big city
Tourist attractions look at that!
Buy me a plastic policeman's hat
But there's a riot uptown they're fighting back
And the boys in blue are wearing black
Flying squad what a farce
If pigs could fly they wouldn't need cars
Got control over us all
New Scotland Yard ,the new Berlin Wall
Give me a break don't tell me
That life is great in the big city
It's all based on money and greed
Everything you'll never need
Plenty of ways to spend your money
Getting ripped off is a way of life
Stick your money on a skin flint knife
No,no,no,no it's too shitty
I don't want to live in the big, big city
Tourist attractions look at that!
Buy me a plastic policeman's hat
But there's a riot uptown they're fighting back
And the boys in blue are wearing black
Flying squad what a farce
If pigs could fly they wouldn't need cars
Got control over us all
New Scotland Yard ,the new Berlin Wall
Give me a break don't tell me
That life is great in the big city
It's all based on money and greed
Everything you'll never need

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”
