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.
Slow to move
The light moves with you
Conclusions fore-gone
When we speak the same tongue
Close the door on your way out
Pull the ceiling down wont you
Rip the feet out from under me
You'll see how it feels now
Let me know what you want from me
So I can be your friendly enemy
Seems to love you
When you rest your feud
Illusions long gone when your right and I'm wrong
So right the law on my walls
So pull the ceiling down wont you
Rip the feet out from under me
You'll see how it feels now
Let me know what you want from me
So I can be your friendly enemy
Put a tick your name and a cross next to mine
Pt a tick your name and a cross next to mine
Rip the feet out from under me
You'll see how it feels now
Let me know what you want from me
So I can be your friendly enemy
Rip the feet out from under me
You'll see how it feels now
Let me know what you want from me
So I can be your friendly enemy
The light moves with you
Conclusions fore-gone
When we speak the same tongue
Close the door on your way out
Pull the ceiling down wont you
Rip the feet out from under me
You'll see how it feels now
Let me know what you want from me
So I can be your friendly enemy
Seems to love you
When you rest your feud
Illusions long gone when your right and I'm wrong
So right the law on my walls
So pull the ceiling down wont you
Rip the feet out from under me
You'll see how it feels now
Let me know what you want from me
So I can be your friendly enemy
Put a tick your name and a cross next to mine
Pt a tick your name and a cross next to mine
Rip the feet out from under me
You'll see how it feels now
Let me know what you want from me
So I can be your friendly enemy
Rip the feet out from under me
You'll see how it feels now
Let me know what you want from me
So I can be your friendly enemy

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
love it.
