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.
Well I just cant get your voice out of my head.
The way you look when your tryin so hard to take back what you just said. Well i dont care, the only thing that matters is you were here.
Six hours aint much in the grand whole span of time, but its enough to keep us apart no matter how much id like, to have you here tonight, laughin by my side.
To see your eyes as you marvel at the city life.
Forget reality the pictures nice.
Well yeah you marvel at the city life.
Forget reality the pictures nice, nice, nice.
But your smilin as you say good bye.
Well i just cant bring myself to say your gone again.
Safely tucked away on a train with your sister fighting.
Well it aint fair, the only thing that matters and your never there. To never eat your food, and leave a mess.
Were laughin at the sun rise
Drinkin while the day dies
Singin as the stars fly
(livin in the city life)
Were laughin at the sun rise
Drinkin while the day dies
Singin as the stars fly
(livin in the city life)
Were laughin at the sun rise
Drinkin while the day dies
Singin as the stars fly
(livin in the city life)
Were laughin at the sun rise
Drinkin while the day dies
Singin as the stars fly
But your smilin as you say goodbye.
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye...

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
good song
