This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
You call the shots
Its in your face, you don't have to sweat
You call the shots, you learn to forget
What brought your stare
You call the shots
Its in your face, you don't have to sweat
You call the shots, you learn to forget
Its in your face, you know what you've got
You call the shots
You open your eyes and stare into mine
A stare like yours is hard to find,
Its ultraviolet
You close your eyes and breathe
I feel your lips, you hit the switch
You need the touch
Its in your face, you show it so well
Its in your face, you don't have to tell
Your stares got no secrets left
You need the touch
Its in your face, you show it so well
Its in your face, you don't have to tell
You need the touch, you power true
Or ill power you
Yea, you open your eyes and stare into mine
A stare like yours is hard to find,
Its ultraviolet
You close your eyes and breathe
I feel your lips, you hit the switch
You open your eyes and stare into mine
A stare like yours is hard to find,
Its ultraviolet
You close your eyes and breathe
I feel your lips, you hit the switch
Its in your face, you don't have to sweat
You call the shots, you learn to forget
What brought your stare
You call the shots
Its in your face, you don't have to sweat
You call the shots, you learn to forget
Its in your face, you know what you've got
You call the shots
You open your eyes and stare into mine
A stare like yours is hard to find,
Its ultraviolet
You close your eyes and breathe
I feel your lips, you hit the switch
You need the touch
Its in your face, you show it so well
Its in your face, you don't have to tell
Your stares got no secrets left
You need the touch
Its in your face, you show it so well
Its in your face, you don't have to tell
You need the touch, you power true
Or ill power you
Yea, you open your eyes and stare into mine
A stare like yours is hard to find,
Its ultraviolet
You close your eyes and breathe
I feel your lips, you hit the switch
You open your eyes and stare into mine
A stare like yours is hard to find,
Its ultraviolet
You close your eyes and breathe
I feel your lips, you hit the switch

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.

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.
