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 could happen here today
It could happen here today
And I can't wait to see your face
No I can't wait to see your face
Can you hold on while I take hold of myself
Can you hold on while I take hold of myself
You're the little thing, my saving grace
You're just a little thing, my saving grace
It could happen here today
It could happen here today
You aer my saving grace
You are my saving grace
Will you be strong while I take hold of myself
Will you be strong while I take hold of myself
It could happen here today
I could happen here today
You are my saving grace
You are my saving grace
It could happen here today
And I can't wait to see your face
No I can't wait to see your face
Can you hold on while I take hold of myself
Can you hold on while I take hold of myself
You're the little thing, my saving grace
You're just a little thing, my saving grace
It could happen here today
It could happen here today
You aer my saving grace
You are my saving grace
Will you be strong while I take hold of myself
Will you be strong while I take hold of myself
It could happen here today
I could happen here today
You are my saving grace
You are my saving grace

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
Woah, no one's commented... I was looking at all the Cranberries' songs and I came across this one... I'm going to college soon, and this song makes me think of leaving my little sister behind...
The "I can't wait to see your face No I can't wait to see your face"
Like, I'm sorta looking forward to her seeing how much she needs me, and whether when I'm actually leaving it'll finally set in and she'll regret all the "I hate you" and "I wish I didn't have a sister" moments.
"Can you hold on while I take hold of myself Can you hold on while I take hold of myself"
And then I start to worry about her- while I go out into the world, will she be able to get through high school on her own, and deal with our parents and everything without me?
"You're the little thing, my saving grace You're just a little thing, my saving grace"
And finally how small she seems, and how in truth I probably depend on her more than she depends on me...
My interpretation is this song is about giving birth.
Lyrics seem to point to that.
Also I read Dolores had a child around the time this album was made or had just given birth.
So this is my guess.
Not a big fan just heard the tune today for the 1st time.
Pregnancy and Birth.
