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.
It's everything I miss when you're not here
That makes you float away the more that I stay
And I'll beg you in ink, so much that I'm afraid
Your singing follows me around
So I'll send you words and look for tiny little sounds
That could send away the memory of days of black and white
And of all the folders that we kept there
Thinking that we might not need
To let a single secret go to make it to the night
That's melting through
You make me search really hard
For things that might exist
And for other things that are just never going to be here
Though we're wishing them from far
And does your sky look like that right now?
You're further away and still closer now somehow
And though it's not the cliche that we like
And though your days aren't black and white
We're not yet moving out of spite this time
And I'll wish you back here first time around
To think from under steady ground
And keep on moving around you now
You're further away and still closer now somehow
Somehow

That makes you float away the more that I stay

And of all the folders that we kept there
Thinking that we might not need
To let a single secret go to make it to the night
That's melting through
You make me search really hard
For things that might exist
And for other things that are just never going to be here
Though we're wishing them from far
And does your sky look like that right now?
You're further away and still closer now somehow
And though it's not the cliche that we like
And though your days aren't black and white
We're not yet moving out of spite this time
And I'll wish you back here first time around
To think from under steady ground
And keep on moving around you now
You're further away and still closer now somehow
Somehow

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
