Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Lately, I've been
Living in my head
The rest of me is dead
I'm dying for truth
Make me believe
No more left and right
Come on take my side
I'm fightin' for you
I'm fightin' for you
Pleased to meet you, take my hand
There is no way back from here
Pleased to meet you, say your prayers
There is no way back from here
But I don't care
No way back from here
Wake me, I'm ready
Somethin' don't seem right
I was dreaming
I was talkin' to you
Memory, mend me
Know I've seen my share
Things I can't repair
I'm breaking to you
I'm breaking to you
Pleased to meet you, take my hand
There is no way back from here
Pleased to meet you, say your prayers
There is no way back from here
But I don't care
No way back from here, yeah
Pleased to meet you, take my hand
There is no way back from here
Pleased to meet you, say your prayers
There is no way back from here
But I don't care
No way back from here, yeah
Living in my head
The rest of me is dead
I'm dying for truth
Make me believe
No more left and right
Come on take my side
I'm fightin' for you
I'm fightin' for you
Pleased to meet you, take my hand
There is no way back from here
Pleased to meet you, say your prayers
There is no way back from here
But I don't care
No way back from here
Wake me, I'm ready
Somethin' don't seem right
I was dreaming
I was talkin' to you
Memory, mend me
Know I've seen my share
Things I can't repair
I'm breaking to you
I'm breaking to you
Pleased to meet you, take my hand
There is no way back from here
Pleased to meet you, say your prayers
There is no way back from here
But I don't care
No way back from here, yeah
Pleased to meet you, take my hand
There is no way back from here
Pleased to meet you, say your prayers
There is no way back from here
But I don't care
No way back from here, yeah

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
could be interpreted to be about the decision to venture into most any dangerous or difficult period of life or activity, such that it is not done alone.
