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.
Plastic brain scar

Gloss highs
Take you where you want
Can't stop, oh, off the train

Soft lit tan
What's your sign?

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Hmm, I really don't think that this song is about just sex. She went to L.A. and witnessed a superficial culture. And it definitely is not just a feel good song. It is on a surface level, but like all Goldfrapp songs you have to delve deeper. There is a strong, dark undercurrent here, one that is critical of this plastic lifestyle. Cosmetic surgery, super-tan's, glossy, glamourous, people. And most of all drugs and promiscuity. DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS. Doing poolside lines of coke and using a nasal douche to keep your nose healthy, the Wolflady sucks her brains, as well as the fact that she is the train, the chauffeur of sex for men. So, practically what goldfrappfan said, just with the dichotomy of a happy, feel easy song with a dark, critical undercurrent.
