He certainly did earn that reputation.
Save all your prayers
I think we're lost today
There's no morning after
No one's around to blame
I'm not afraid to bleed
But I won't do it for you
We'll start among hypocrites
The melody of our time
So say goodbye to the world
We are the dead that walk the earth
Scream your lungs out
Await for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
Here's the next disaster
What decides when you've lost the war?
When the first man falls
Or when they erase it all?
We're too numb to feel
The downfall starts right here
Hold your breath and swim
Swallowed by life's tear
In times of make believe
No one really seems to care
Maybe I should care less
'Cause I will die too
So say goodbye to the world
We are the dead that walk the earth
Scream your lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
Here's the next disaster
What will it take for us to realize
The more we provoke
Winter will come twice?
Save all your prayers
I think we're lost today
There's no morning after
No one's around to blame
Scream your lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
Here's the next disaster
Scream your lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
Here's the next disaster
I think we're lost today
There's no morning after
No one's around to blame
I'm not afraid to bleed
But I won't do it for you
We'll start among hypocrites
The melody of our time
So say goodbye to the world
We are the dead that walk the earth
Scream your lungs out
Await for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
Here's the next disaster
What decides when you've lost the war?
When the first man falls
Or when they erase it all?
We're too numb to feel
The downfall starts right here
Hold your breath and swim
Swallowed by life's tear
In times of make believe
No one really seems to care
Maybe I should care less
'Cause I will die too
So say goodbye to the world
We are the dead that walk the earth
Scream your lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
Here's the next disaster
What will it take for us to realize
The more we provoke
Winter will come twice?
Save all your prayers
I think we're lost today
There's no morning after
No one's around to blame
Scream your lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
Here's the next disaster
Scream your lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
Here's the next disaster

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?

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”
and "The ability of our time"
