He certainly did earn that reputation.
We made plans to be unbreakable
Love was all we knew
No insurance for the unthinkable
Blindly get us through
We've been searching for a lifetime
Short as it may seem
Riding on the fumes that spark us
While igniting dreams
Mistakes we knew we were making
Mistakes we knew we were making
Don't think about chances we're taking
Mistakes we knew...
Driving in the rain to the hostpital
Quiet aches in tense
What at once just seemed the impossible
Now makes perfect
We held hands to face the uncomfortable
Cold and lonely room
Magazines and empty distractions
Barely got us through
Mistakes we knew we were making
Mistakes we knew we were making
Don't think about chances we're taking
Mistakes we knew...
And when we try
To think of the life inside
We found ourselves
Looking at the world through new eyes
What can now be said
Oh, little one on the other side
Dance until the band stops playing
Sing with all your might
Mistakes we knew we were making
Mistakes we knew we were making
Don't think about chances we're taking
Don't think about rules we're breaking
Mistakes we knew...
The list goes on and on...
(On and On)
The list goes on and on...
(The list goes)
Love was all we knew
No insurance for the unthinkable
Blindly get us through
We've been searching for a lifetime
Short as it may seem
Riding on the fumes that spark us
While igniting dreams
Mistakes we knew we were making
Mistakes we knew we were making
Don't think about chances we're taking
Mistakes we knew...
Driving in the rain to the hostpital
Quiet aches in tense
What at once just seemed the impossible
Now makes perfect
We held hands to face the uncomfortable
Cold and lonely room
Magazines and empty distractions
Barely got us through
Mistakes we knew we were making
Mistakes we knew we were making
Don't think about chances we're taking
Mistakes we knew...
And when we try
To think of the life inside
We found ourselves
Looking at the world through new eyes
What can now be said
Oh, little one on the other side
Dance until the band stops playing
Sing with all your might
Mistakes we knew we were making
Mistakes we knew we were making
Don't think about chances we're taking
Don't think about rules we're breaking
Mistakes we knew...
The list goes on and on...
(On and On)
The list goes on and on...
(The list goes)

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.

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.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I agree that it's about abortion.. because first they say.. "and when we try to think of the life inside we find ourselves looking at the world through new eyes." and then they say. "what can now be said oh little one on the other side, dance until the band stops playing, sing with all your might." I think that they are saying that while it might be uncomfortable to have an "unwanted" baby that it''s not right to take it's life so you can have a fun one...
