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.
Just the other day
I was looking for myself again
Trying to put back all the pieces
Back to the way they were
Sometimes it's not so easy
When you have so many voices
Tell you what to do
I think I've got it now
But I can't be too sure
Far away as we shoot across the sky
Far away to the corners of my mind
Sooner or later
It will slowly come back to me
If I could build a spaceship
Would you fly away with me?
Or would you stay?
A million miles an hour
Flying circles as we orbit 'round earth
If I stuck my head out the window
Do you think it'd clear my head?
Or would it burst?
I guess it's all the same
But at least it wouldn't hurt
Far away as we shoot across the sky
Far away to the corners of my mind
And the voices in my head
I think they've finally gone away
Far away
Far away
Sooner or later
They will slowly come back to me
I was looking for myself again
Trying to put back all the pieces
Back to the way they were
Sometimes it's not so easy
When you have so many voices
Tell you what to do
I think I've got it now
But I can't be too sure
Far away as we shoot across the sky
Far away to the corners of my mind
Sooner or later
It will slowly come back to me
If I could build a spaceship
Would you fly away with me?
Or would you stay?
A million miles an hour
Flying circles as we orbit 'round earth
If I stuck my head out the window
Do you think it'd clear my head?
Or would it burst?
I guess it's all the same
But at least it wouldn't hurt
Far away as we shoot across the sky
Far away to the corners of my mind
And the voices in my head
I think they've finally gone away
Far away
Far away
Sooner or later
They will slowly come back to me

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
