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.
Eyelids are heavy - man, I need some sleep.
Your hemline is sexy - I'll retreat.
So don't wake me. Please don't wake me.
Are we in real time? Are we even real?
For your information I'd borrow and steal
If you'd save me. Please save me.
Through everything I lost, and all the shit it cost
I'd trade this all just to sit with you.
Trade it all just to be with you.
For close to an hour I've been asleep standing still.
They haven't noticed but she probably will.
So don't wake me. Please don't wake me.
Through everything I lost, and all the shit it cost
I'd trade this all just to sit with you.
Trade it all just to be with you.
I'd trade this all for you.
So don't wake me.
So don't wake...
Imagine you've read this or you probably will.
For more information I'd beg, borrow or steal
If you'd save me. Please save me.
Through everything I lost and all the shit it cost,
It still kills me when you cry.
The way I feel haunts me, Jess I try.
You know I will trade this all just to sit with you.
Trade it all just to be with you.
I'd trade this all for you.
Your hemline is sexy - I'll retreat.
So don't wake me. Please don't wake me.
Are we in real time? Are we even real?
For your information I'd borrow and steal
If you'd save me. Please save me.
Through everything I lost, and all the shit it cost
I'd trade this all just to sit with you.
Trade it all just to be with you.
For close to an hour I've been asleep standing still.
They haven't noticed but she probably will.
So don't wake me. Please don't wake me.
Through everything I lost, and all the shit it cost
I'd trade this all just to sit with you.
Trade it all just to be with you.
I'd trade this all for you.
So don't wake me.
So don't wake...
Imagine you've read this or you probably will.
For more information I'd beg, borrow or steal
If you'd save me. Please save me.
Through everything I lost and all the shit it cost,
It still kills me when you cry.
The way I feel haunts me, Jess I try.
You know I will trade this all just to sit with you.
Trade it all just to be with you.
I'd trade this all for you.

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical

Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Gyroscope = Awesome Australian band.
