He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Brother, can you hear me?
Your life is in my hands
I will not surrender, never yield to his demands
If we stand together, we will never fall
Brother, we're the answer to your call
Brother, can you hear me?
You must not be afraid
I will march beside you
Have no fear
Be strong
Be brave
We sing this song for freedom
Our voices will resound
Brother, we will never let you down
On the road to revolution
We're bound to make mistakes
There's a price that we must pay
For every choice we make
Freedom is the reason
To stand up or give in
But someone has to lose
And someone has to win
Brother, can you hear me?
I am not afraid
I will not forsake you
I'll be strong and I'll be brave
I sing the song for freedom
My courage knows no bounds
Brother, know I stand on solid ground
Brother, I will never let you down
Never let you down
Your life is in my hands
I will not surrender, never yield to his demands
If we stand together, we will never fall
Brother, we're the answer to your call
Brother, can you hear me?
You must not be afraid
I will march beside you
Have no fear
Be strong
Be brave
We sing this song for freedom
Our voices will resound
Brother, we will never let you down
On the road to revolution
We're bound to make mistakes
There's a price that we must pay
For every choice we make
Freedom is the reason
To stand up or give in
But someone has to lose
And someone has to win
Brother, can you hear me?
I am not afraid
I will not forsake you
I'll be strong and I'll be brave
I sing the song for freedom
My courage knows no bounds
Brother, know I stand on solid ground
Brother, I will never let you down
Never let you down

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.
