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.
Give me the dust of my father
Stand on the face of the ancients
Bare the secret flesh of time itself
Follow me (follow me)
I've come so far behind again
Follow me (follow me)
I wish so hard I'm there again
Follow me (follow me)
Follow me (follow me)
All that I wanted were things I had before
All that I needed, I never needed more
All of my questions were answers to my sins
All of my endings are waiting to begin
I know the way but I falter
I can't be afraid of my patience
There's a sacred place Raziel keeps safe
Follow me (follow me)
I've seen so much I'm blind again
Follow me (follow me)
I feel so bad, I'm alive again
Follow me (follow me)
All that I wanted were things I had before
All that I needed, I never needed more
All of my questions were answers to my sins
All of my endings are waiting to begin
Stand on the face of the ancients
Bare the secret flesh of time itself
Follow me (follow me)
I've come so far behind again
Follow me (follow me)
I wish so hard I'm there again
Follow me (follow me)
Follow me (follow me)
All that I wanted were things I had before
All that I needed, I never needed more
All of my questions were answers to my sins
All of my endings are waiting to begin
I know the way but I falter
I can't be afraid of my patience
There's a sacred place Raziel keeps safe
Follow me (follow me)
I've seen so much I'm blind again
Follow me (follow me)
I feel so bad, I'm alive again
Follow me (follow me)
All that I wanted were things I had before
All that I needed, I never needed more
All of my questions were answers to my sins
All of my endings are waiting to begin

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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I have two theories of this song:
One is that Corey is talking about reincarnation as a whole and reincarnation being a cycle... Which in turn in a circle
and my other links in with the first one that Corey hates being old and either himself or the person he is speaking in first person with is not doing very well in life, doesn't like who he is so that person wants to die so he/she can be born again and start a clean slate - Reincarnation - Cycle - Circle.
Fucking kick ass song though... One of my favourite on the album!
