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.
America bled to death
Electric & pregnant
Brilliant sluts & fire worship
Devouring the righteous
We were just monkeys braiding thread
We were golden needles
Diamonds and pollen
And Coma White
A mannikin of depression
The face of a Dead Star
Fagged out for the corner
She was so soft in the bed
And the pomegranate earth spins into oblivion
The one that trembles
The one that fears
The one that suffers
The one that vomits
The one that needs
The one that trembles
The one that fears
The one that suffers
The one that vomits
The one that needs
A million scars, a million promises
A million scars, a million promises
A million scars, a million promises
A million scars, a million promises
A million scars, a million promises
A million scars, a million promises
A million scars, a million promises
A million scars, a million promises
And all your sad endings are planting in their gardens
And they're waiting to grow & to die like flowers do
And they're waiting to grow & to die like flowers do
And they're waiting to grow & to die like flowers do
Electric & pregnant
Brilliant sluts & fire worship
Devouring the righteous
We were just monkeys braiding thread
We were golden needles
Diamonds and pollen
And Coma White
A mannikin of depression
The face of a Dead Star
Fagged out for the corner
She was so soft in the bed
And the pomegranate earth spins into oblivion
The one that trembles
The one that fears
The one that suffers
The one that vomits
The one that needs
The one that trembles
The one that fears
The one that suffers
The one that vomits
The one that needs
A million scars, a million promises
A million scars, a million promises
A million scars, a million promises
A million scars, a million promises
A million scars, a million promises
A million scars, a million promises
A million scars, a million promises
A million scars, a million promises
And all your sad endings are planting in their gardens
And they're waiting to grow & to die like flowers do
And they're waiting to grow & to die like flowers do
And they're waiting to grow & to die like flowers do

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I believe the song is about society (I guess?). Diamonds are a reference to most, if not, of all bees that create diamond shaped (hexagonal) honeycombs (their society) to be the most efficient storage of their collected pollen. So I think as a beehive diamond is maximum efficiency for storing honey, a diamond to us is an expensive and rare gem by demand, not that "God" made it valuable, the people (company/ business) whom horde it create its literal materialistic value. So i interpret diamonds as a root of society's structural values. The 2 interpretations of a diamond put together, right heh? A bee's society depends on the diamond design, allowing it to gain maximum honey- their objective. So then with that said, this song is also about America. American society's structural values. For instance, there is no doubt we've gone into false and never ending wars very recently in American history, maybe since the 80/90s we've been entering oil wars and it escalated in the early 2000s with 9/11. Perhaps that is our diamond (most efficient way) to collect pollen (oil) and get honey (money). However putting them all together fits, that is my interpretation as to what the diamonds and pollen mean.
