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 lights go down, outside (before our cars collide)
So we silhouette ourselves (in forty shades of fire)
Do you know where this is leading? I'll meet you there.
The other side of the crash.
On the other side of the glass.
All out friends are falling out, can't look us in the eye,
Or bear to hear that broken sound.
Happens when you're all alone,
Inside, in the middle of the night I hear your voice,
I feel ashamed every time you say, "Car crash came and car crash went, so I went along with it..."
Because the girl you love's not coming back.
It'll never be the same, don't look away. I need to know if this is real. Don't look away.
The hospital ward sleeps
Thought the surgery
Hiding needles in the drawer
(for emergencies)
While outside they wait
In the pouring rain
On the other side of the glass.
Don't look away. I need to know if this is real.
Don't look away. I need to know - when will this end?
Don't look away
Over and out (of control)
The I.V. drips the days drag on
Adjust the light switch in the hall
Maybe the x-ray screen keeps it from getting dark
But the bulb burns out when it gets too hot.
Keep crashing this car (over and over)
Keep crashing this car (over and over)
Keep crashing this car (over and over)
Keep crashing this car (until it spins)
Out of control
So hold me close or I might disappear this time
Out of control
We fight currents in the water
When we can't let go of the shore.
We've lost control.
So we silhouette ourselves (in forty shades of fire)
Do you know where this is leading? I'll meet you there.
The other side of the crash.
On the other side of the glass.
All out friends are falling out, can't look us in the eye,
Or bear to hear that broken sound.
Happens when you're all alone,
Inside, in the middle of the night I hear your voice,
I feel ashamed every time you say, "Car crash came and car crash went, so I went along with it..."
Because the girl you love's not coming back.
It'll never be the same, don't look away. I need to know if this is real. Don't look away.
The hospital ward sleeps
Thought the surgery
Hiding needles in the drawer
(for emergencies)
While outside they wait
In the pouring rain
On the other side of the glass.
Don't look away. I need to know if this is real.
Don't look away. I need to know - when will this end?
Don't look away
Over and out (of control)
The I.V. drips the days drag on
Adjust the light switch in the hall
Maybe the x-ray screen keeps it from getting dark
But the bulb burns out when it gets too hot.
Keep crashing this car (over and over)
Keep crashing this car (over and over)
Keep crashing this car (over and over)
Keep crashing this car (until it spins)
Out of control
So hold me close or I might disappear this time
Out of control
We fight currents in the water
When we can't let go of the shore.
We've lost control.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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”

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
This is one of the new demo songs that leaked. I think I got these pretty accurate but their may be some errors here and there seeing as I wrote these lyrics by ear, so if you see any mistakes I've made point them out.
where can i get this song?

Seems like this song is about a girl who's love has died in a car crash and she wants to be with him. So she attempts suicide by cutting her veins....Or the whole thing could be metaphoric for something else...
