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.
Pretty darling, stop
Running down my street
The tears are dropping
Like a nuclear meltdown
I never meant to
Let it come to this
Can we blame it on
Timing, not chemistry
All night long,
I'll sing the
Same somber song
Attack my decisions
And the horse they road on
Everything seems to be
Less that zero
A mascara hero
With a heart of zinc
I never should have (kissed)
I never should have
And I never should have
Kissed those lips before
I never should've
Let you out my door
But now I'm stuck here
With your photograph
The words you chant
I never thought they'd
Be so true
Dancing in my head
So pause this moment
'Til we meet in our next life
A black tabby housecat
A bottle of xanax
All night long is
One repeated love song
When have I
Become this tree
'Til we meet in our
Brand new world
I'll count the rings
If you tie a string
I never should have (kissed)
I never should have
And I never should have
Kissed those lips before
I never should've
Let you out my door
But now I'm stuck here
With your photograph
And I never should have
Kissed those lips before
I never should've
Let you out my door
But now I'm stuck here
With your photograph
And I never should have
Kissed those lips before
I never should've
Let you out my door
But now I'm stuck here
With your photograph
Oh, and I never should have
Kissed those lips before
I never should've
Let you out my door
But now I'm stuck here
With your photograph
Running down my street
The tears are dropping
Like a nuclear meltdown
I never meant to
Let it come to this
Can we blame it on
Timing, not chemistry
All night long,
I'll sing the
Same somber song
Attack my decisions
And the horse they road on
Everything seems to be
Less that zero
A mascara hero
With a heart of zinc
I never should have (kissed)
I never should have
And I never should have
Kissed those lips before
I never should've
Let you out my door
But now I'm stuck here
With your photograph
The words you chant
I never thought they'd
Be so true
Dancing in my head
So pause this moment
'Til we meet in our next life
A black tabby housecat
A bottle of xanax
All night long is
One repeated love song
When have I
Become this tree
'Til we meet in our
Brand new world
I'll count the rings
If you tie a string
I never should have (kissed)
I never should have
And I never should have
Kissed those lips before
I never should've
Let you out my door
But now I'm stuck here
With your photograph
And I never should have
Kissed those lips before
I never should've
Let you out my door
But now I'm stuck here
With your photograph
And I never should have
Kissed those lips before
I never should've
Let you out my door
But now I'm stuck here
With your photograph
Oh, and I never should have
Kissed those lips before
I never should've
Let you out my door
But now I'm stuck here
With your photograph

@[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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I love this song, it rocks.
That is all.
But it's about how a dude shouldn't have went out with a girl. He regrets it after they break up. And all he has left is a photograph. :D
