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.
A Scream In The Air, So Powerful And Brave,
Neither Beautiful Nor Sexy, It Is Far Too Real.
I Don't Remember Sinking The Eight Ball,
I Don't Remember Winning Or Losing It All.
Want To Seduce Me, Stop Enlarging The Hype,
(Long) Felt That I Ought To Be Pissed But I Let It Slide.
You Will Find Out What It All Means,
Whether It's Worth It To Dodge Constantly.
Make Me, Make Me, Make Me Believe !!
We Are Experimental, Unpredictable And Not Very Talented Indeed.
Just So Off Target, You Need Much To Much
Instant Connection And Sensual Touch.
Have You Surrendered And Are You Feeling Raw ?
Demise Is Imminent, It's Your Time To Withdraw.
You Will Find Out What It All Means,
Whether It's Worth It To Dodge Constantly.
Make Me, Make Me, Make Me Believe !! Make Me, Make Me !!
Neither Beautiful Nor Sexy, It Is Far Too Real.
I Don't Remember Sinking The Eight Ball,
I Don't Remember Winning Or Losing It All.
Want To Seduce Me, Stop Enlarging The Hype,
(Long) Felt That I Ought To Be Pissed But I Let It Slide.
You Will Find Out What It All Means,
Whether It's Worth It To Dodge Constantly.
Make Me, Make Me, Make Me Believe !!
We Are Experimental, Unpredictable And Not Very Talented Indeed.
Just So Off Target, You Need Much To Much
Instant Connection And Sensual Touch.
Have You Surrendered And Are You Feeling Raw ?
Demise Is Imminent, It's Your Time To Withdraw.
You Will Find Out What It All Means,
Whether It's Worth It To Dodge Constantly.
Make Me, Make Me, Make Me Believe !! Make Me, Make Me !!

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.

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”

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.
