He certainly did earn that reputation.
I still hang on every word
In a world of faded memories
Where you're still in love with me
I can see it in your eyes
A look as if your major tom has lost control
I must hold on
This happens all the time
I still find my faith in you
I can't hold on
This happens all the time
I still find my way to you
If the dreams all that I got
Then I wish you in a fairy tale
Where you're still in love with me
I can see it in your eyes
A look as if your hero fell and lost his soul
I must hold on
This happens all the time
I still find my faith in you
I can't hold on
This happens all the time
I still find my way to you
In a world of faded memories
Where you're still in love with me
I can see it in your eyes
A look as if your major tom has lost control
I must hold on
This happens all the time
I still find my faith in you
I can't hold on
This happens all the time
I still find my way to you
If the dreams all that I got
Then I wish you in a fairy tale
Where you're still in love with me
I can see it in your eyes
A look as if your hero fell and lost his soul
I must hold on
This happens all the time
I still find my faith in you
I can't hold on
This happens all the time
I still find my way to you

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.

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.
westwingb, the lyrics are actually correct as David Bowie's song is called "Major Tom."
Just want to say that this song is great, and the video had me in chills. Cold really knows how to make 'em.
