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.
I wish so hard that I could be just like the one you want me to
But it doesn't seem to work though I'm trying
I try so hard to do what's right to be so good to make you proud
But it never seems to satisfy you
It's just the person that you want is not the person that I am
The conflict inside's horrifying
I want so much for you to think of me as a person that
deserves your respect and attention
I wonder if I'll ever do the tings you want the way you want
When I don't even know what I want yet
It's not that I'm rebelling against the person you are
It's just that I don't know who I am
All I know is it hurts, oh how it hurts
Oh God, do you know how I'm hurting?
There's an emotion in me, there's an emotion in me
Emotion number thirteen
Look into my eyes, you'll see I'm not lying
Emotion number thirteen easy crying
Don't ask me how I know, but I'm dying
Emotion number thirteen, blows my mind away
Emotion number thirteen, it blows me away
Look into my eyes, you'll see I'm not...
Emotion number thirteen, say's I'm...
Don't ask me how I know but I think I'm...
Don't ask me how I know but I think I'm dying, dying,
dying, dying
All I know is it hurts, oh how it hurts
Oh God do yo know how I'm hurting?
There's an emotion in me, there's an emotion in me
Emotion number thirteen
Look into my eyes, you'll see I'm not lying
But it doesn't seem to work though I'm trying
I try so hard to do what's right to be so good to make you proud
But it never seems to satisfy you
It's just the person that you want is not the person that I am
The conflict inside's horrifying
I want so much for you to think of me as a person that
deserves your respect and attention
I wonder if I'll ever do the tings you want the way you want
When I don't even know what I want yet
It's not that I'm rebelling against the person you are
It's just that I don't know who I am
All I know is it hurts, oh how it hurts
Oh God, do you know how I'm hurting?
There's an emotion in me, there's an emotion in me
Emotion number thirteen
Look into my eyes, you'll see I'm not lying
Emotion number thirteen easy crying
Don't ask me how I know, but I'm dying
Emotion number thirteen, blows my mind away
Emotion number thirteen, it blows me away
Look into my eyes, you'll see I'm not...
Emotion number thirteen, say's I'm...
Don't ask me how I know but I think I'm...
Don't ask me how I know but I think I'm dying, dying,
dying, dying
All I know is it hurts, oh how it hurts
Oh God do yo know how I'm hurting?
There's an emotion in me, there's an emotion in me
Emotion number thirteen
Look into my eyes, you'll see I'm not lying

Holiday

@[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.

Punchline

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
^ Well put. There is a few people who make me feel like this, actually.
