Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Nas:
Everybody's an Enemy
Telling me lies and it's killing me
Why they all want to get rid of me
Everybody's my enemy
Several try to disguise the devil in them
Wanting to get into my cerebellum but I'm
Ready and willing to tell them that I can't f with them
Exhale so hard it got my chest swelling
Like my dick does when watching naked women
Do sick stuff on my porn collection on television
Nas:
Trust nobody
I don't know who to call a friend
They all just pretend to be
Fuck Everybody this is to all of ya'll
Cuz everybody is an enemy x2
Nas:
Watching my own back
Strapped with chrome, to my homies
Where the tombstones at, where the hoes at?
Cuz too many men act like dykes, hermaphrodites
With benzene, amen
Look at the trash that's biting
The life in times is kinda weaker
Like the time and life of the sandman on Apollo theater
Imagine that another black with a hook
Who pulls the whack talent off the stage
I'm enraged
Nas:
Trust nobody
I don't know who to call a friend
They all just pretend to be
Fuck Everybody this is to all of ya'll
Cuz everybody is an enemy x2
JD:
You fill your lies around me
And you think you've won
You feel you can control me
With the things you've done
JD:
You think that you can take me
You think that you can play me
You're going to start to hate me
I feel that you disgraced me x5
Nas:
Trust nobody
I don't know who to call a friend
They all just pretend to be
Fuck Everybody this is to all of ya'll
Cuz everybody is an enemy x2
Everybody's an Enemy
Telling me lies and it's killing me
Why they all want to get rid of me
Everybody's my enemy
Several try to disguise the devil in them
Wanting to get into my cerebellum but I'm
Ready and willing to tell them that I can't f with them
Exhale so hard it got my chest swelling
Like my dick does when watching naked women
Do sick stuff on my porn collection on television

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.

@[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.
this song is also gay
