Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
It’s been so long
Since I have heard your voice
I’d like to talk
Then I might not have the choice
You turned off your phone
I guess you need some time away
I wish you could hear me say
But I know that sometime
When the weather is fine
I will be with you
I’ll be with you
No one can see
What the future will be
But I’ll feel for you
I’ll feel for you
I saw your friends
They said that this is not like you
One thing I’ve learnt
Even angels lose their view
But now you have gone
My days are empty, cold and bleak
To think that we can’t even speak
We can’t even speak
But I know that sometime
When the weather is fine
I will be with you
I’ll be with you
No one can see
What the future will be
But I’ll feel for you
I’ll feel for you
I’m just trying to make a contribution
Does that stand for nothing at all
I want to say I love you
But I feel like I can’t talk
And I know that sometime
When the weather is fine
I will be with you
I’ll be with you
No one can see
What the future will be
But I’ll feel for you
I’ll feel for you
Since I have heard your voice
I’d like to talk
Then I might not have the choice
You turned off your phone
I guess you need some time away
I wish you could hear me say
But I know that sometime
When the weather is fine
I will be with you
I’ll be with you
No one can see
What the future will be
But I’ll feel for you
I’ll feel for you
I saw your friends
They said that this is not like you
One thing I’ve learnt
Even angels lose their view
But now you have gone
My days are empty, cold and bleak
To think that we can’t even speak
We can’t even speak
But I know that sometime
When the weather is fine
I will be with you
I’ll be with you
No one can see
What the future will be
But I’ll feel for you
I’ll feel for you
I’m just trying to make a contribution
Does that stand for nothing at all
I want to say I love you
But I feel like I can’t talk
And I know that sometime
When the weather is fine
I will be with you
I’ll be with you
No one can see
What the future will be
But I’ll feel for you
I’ll feel for you

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

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.

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.
Me and my friend had an argument bout this song, she things its about a guy who is trying to help out a girl suffering for depression think about "even angels loose their views" anyway i thought it was about a break up and he's still in love with her but she doesn't want to see or talk to him, i know that feeling lol but yeah i can't decide i think everyone will interpret it a different way
