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.
My sex-change operation got botched
My guardian angel fell asleep on the watch
Now all I got in a Barbie Doll-crotch
I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a, I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a, I got an angry inch
I'm form the land where you still hear cries
I had to get out to sever all ties
I change my name and assumed a disguise
I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a, I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a, I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
The train is coming and I am tied to the track
I try to get up but but I can't get no slack
I got an angry inch, angry inch, angry inch
My mother made my tits out of clay
My boyfriend told me he'd take me away
They dragged me to the doctor one day
I've got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a, I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a, I got an angry inch
A long story short
When I woke up from the operation
I was bleeding down there
Bleeding from the gash between my legs
My first day as a woman
And already it's that time of the month
But two days later
The hole closed up and the wound healed
And I was left with a one inch mound of flesh
Where my penis used to be
Where my vagina never was
A one inch mound of flesh
With a scar running down it
Like a sideways grimace
On an eyeless face
It was just a little bulge
It was an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
The train is coming and I'm tied to the track
I try to get up but I can't get no slack
I got an angry inch, angry inch, angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
Stay undercover 'til the night turns to black
I got my inch and I'm set to attack
I got an angry inch, angry inch, angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
The train is coming and I'm tied to the track
I try to get up but I can't get no slack
I got an angry inch, angry inch, angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
Stay undercover 'til the night turns to black
I got my inch and I'm set to attack
I got an angry inch, angry inch, angry inch
Angry inch, angry inch, angry inch
Angry inch, angry inch, angry inch
My guardian angel fell asleep on the watch
Now all I got in a Barbie Doll-crotch
I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a, I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a, I got an angry inch
I'm form the land where you still hear cries
I had to get out to sever all ties
I change my name and assumed a disguise
I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a, I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a, I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
The train is coming and I am tied to the track
I try to get up but but I can't get no slack
I got an angry inch, angry inch, angry inch
My mother made my tits out of clay
My boyfriend told me he'd take me away
They dragged me to the doctor one day
I've got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a, I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a, I got an angry inch
A long story short

Bleeding from the gash between my legs

I got an angry inch, angry inch, angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
Stay undercover 'til the night turns to black
I got my inch and I'm set to attack
I got an angry inch, angry inch, angry inch
Angry inch, angry inch, angry inch
Angry inch, angry inch, angry inch

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Fast Car

Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I must say this song is too weird even for TON. I was surprised Pete would wirte such a song, I mean after reading Haunted, it's a big chande.
