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.
Well, sad, small, sweet, so delicate
It used to be this dying breed
Well, I've got a bad feeling about this
I've got a bad feeling about this
You kept still until the long drive home
And slept safe and close to the window
Well, I've got a bad feeling about this
I've got a bad feeling about
Who's to say you'll have to go? (I could go all night)
Well, say you'll have to go (I could go all)
To hell with you and all your friends
To hell with you and all your friends, it's on
Well, sad, small, sure and porcelain
You're skin and bones, I'm a nervous wreck
Well, I've got a bad feeling about this (when it come to this)
I've got a bad feeling about this
You kept still until the long drive home
You slept safe and close to the window

I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you

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.
Have to agree with the last two posts, except I think that the "Anyone will do tonight..." part consists of him 'thinking' that anyone will do tonight, and him telling her to relax before they have sex. "close your eyes just settle, settle"
