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.
We're standing left in line
I'm looking at ghosts and I can't believe it was that as good as it gets
And were you meant to leave me so freely
I stop to pinch three times
Just to know it's true to know I can feel this
I'm reading but I cannot believe that this life support is not in high demand
I stop and think that this cannot be but this life is gone forever
You would enter the room
Flowers would bloom with all the smiles that made sense
Just can't believe that this smile is gone forever
The scenery is flat and all the dancing is over
The music has stopped
Life's meant to be turning and not to be this afraid
I'm looking at ghosts and I can't believe it was that as good as it gets
And were you meant to leave me so freely
I stop to pinch three times
Just to know it's true to know I can feel this
I'm reading but I cannot believe that this life support is not in high demand
I stop and think that this cannot be but this life is gone forever
You would enter the room
Flowers would bloom with all the smiles that made sense
Just can't believe that this smile is gone forever
The scenery is flat and all the dancing is over
The music has stopped
Life's meant to be turning and not to be this afraid

Holiday
Bee Gees

@[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

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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
To me, this song is about how he was with a person whom he was deeply inlove with. She leaves him, and he kind of takes her for granted thinking that she'll come back, but then he realizes that she's not coming back. And he's saying how much she really meant to him. Now he is afraid to go on because he misses her too much.
Quite easy to relate to.
In a way I agree with you but I see it being more final that that. Almost as though death is involved, and as in most cases one misses something he can never have.
yes this song is about death. pretty obvious.
