High life
Look who's got a new nose
Plastic lips and fake tits
Ever tasted silicon?
I've got scars on my eyes
Look who is the best dressed
Oh, my gosh, the worst hair
Who designed that mink coat?
I've got stars in my eyes
Oh-oh-oh
Guess who's got a new car?
Bet she dates a rock star
I want to make a million
I've got lies in my mouth
Eyeshadow and glitter gold
Diamond rings and lip-syncs
Anything material
I've got scars on my eyes
Alright
Baby, you know if you're not beautiful
Just cover it up
With make-up kits and perforated scalpel seams
We'll do you right up
I'm so obsessed with looking like celebrities
Make myself throw up
But it's all right cause one day I know I'll be fine
Like everyone else
And it's alright
Music played to advertise
Logo shirts and hairstyles
Chop and cut monopolize
I've got scars in my mouth
Worship to the cash cow
Nod your head now take a bow
Faking grins and cleft chins
I've got stars in my eyes
Alright
Baby, you know if you're not beautiful
Just cover it up
With make-up kits and perforated scalpel seams
We'll do you right up
I'm so obsessed with living like celebrities
Make myself throw up
With staple skin and backstab flattery
I'm coughing it up
And It's all
Hey, little darling
I'll sell you the definition
If you follow me through pages
And channels of deceit where
Everyone is perfect and nobody grows old
You're bliss in the ignorance of images
'Cause beautiful is what we're selling
Yeah
Alright, alright
hold me down, yeah
So sell it
So sell it
So sell it, so sell it
So sell you beautiful
I've got stars in my eyes
(It's not how you feel it's only how you look)
Baby, you know if you're not beautiful
Just cover it up
With make-up kits and perforated scalpel seams
We'll do you right up
I'm so obsessed with looking like celebrities
Make myself throw up
But it's all right cause one day I know I'll be fine
Like everyone else
And it's all
Yeah, you know it's all they're selling you
Yeah, it's all they're selling you
Oh, it's all they're selling you darling

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

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 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.
HELL yes. the rxbandits just keep getting better and better like WHOA. just look at those lyrics. we seriously need more bands like them.
