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.
From my room, I see the blue Pacific Ocean
Ye, s my hotel has me right beside the shore
Well today it's San Francisco
And tomorrow it’s LA
And I feel as though I've
Been this way before
Well my woman helps my feet
To keep on walkin' but my manager he stands
Right outside the door
Yes there’s an up and coming superstar
And he's gettin' rave reviews
But there ain't no time for fishin' anymore
I never thought that things would go this far
I never thought that life would be this way
I never thought I'd be a supеrstar
Jesus Christ
I wish that I was back in Oyster Bay
Takin' it easy, oh yеah
But there's lots of friendly folks that say
"Good morning" but somehow, you know
I don’t believe their smiles
I could be New York City bound where
I could be among my friends
But the roller back home it
Seems a million miles
I can see the lights of Hollywood below me
But somehow they just don’t move
Me like they should
I know it's hard to understand
But I would be a fisherman
If I only had the chance, you know I would
I never thought that things would go this far
I never thought that I’d be here today
I never thought I'd be a superstar
Oh, Jesus Christ
I wish that I was back in Oyster Bay
Takin' it easy, oh yeah
(Drinking my wine all day
Happy to be that way)
(Wanting it back sometimes
Having some peace of mind)
(Drinking my wine all day
Happy to be that way)
(Wanting it back sometimes
Having some peace of mind)
(Drinking my wine all day
Happy to be that way)
(Wanting it back sometimes
Having some peace of mind)

Van Halen
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.

Holiday

Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
In the chorus, just to let you know, I never thought id be here today, it is really I never thought Id be this way.
