He certainly did earn that reputation.
On walkers ridge love is not enough
And time keeps tickin' on without us
Hand in hand the gods will ignore
Confused the rain, here comes your face
A strange one with familiar traces
Silver tears you left there before
Now will you fall into a different world
Where I'd be the only one?
And I've only missed you to pick my locks
And try to guess who's come around and who's stayed
And I've tried to stay alive, I cry myself to sleep every night
Dreamin' to recapture the faces you made
I've got two pills in the usual drink
And I'd be the only one
'Cause you drive me crazy
You know that you do
It hurts that you won't be mine
'Cause you drive me crazy, crazy
On walker's ridge time is not enough
To burn the houses down lookin' up
Eye to eye the gods will recognize
You left a trail of tears behind
And all the streets end up intertwined
So walker's ridge is where I will die
I've got two pills in the usual drink
'Cause you drive me crazy
You know that you do
It hurts that you won't be mine
You drive me crazy, crazy
Crazy, you know that you do
It hurts that you won't be mine
You drive me crazy
You drive me crazy, crazy
On walkers ridge, love is not enough
And time keeps tickin' on without us
Hand in hand the gods will ignore
And time keeps tickin' on without us
Hand in hand the gods will ignore
Confused the rain, here comes your face
A strange one with familiar traces
Silver tears you left there before
Now will you fall into a different world
Where I'd be the only one?
And I've only missed you to pick my locks
And try to guess who's come around and who's stayed
And I've tried to stay alive, I cry myself to sleep every night
Dreamin' to recapture the faces you made
I've got two pills in the usual drink
And I'd be the only one
'Cause you drive me crazy
You know that you do
It hurts that you won't be mine
'Cause you drive me crazy, crazy
On walker's ridge time is not enough
To burn the houses down lookin' up
Eye to eye the gods will recognize
You left a trail of tears behind
And all the streets end up intertwined
So walker's ridge is where I will die
I've got two pills in the usual drink
'Cause you drive me crazy
You know that you do
It hurts that you won't be mine
You drive me crazy, crazy
Crazy, you know that you do
It hurts that you won't be mine
You drive me crazy
You drive me crazy, crazy
On walkers ridge, love is not enough
And time keeps tickin' on without us
Hand in hand the gods will ignore

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.

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
The songs about a relationship going bad. He used her (I've only miised you to pick my locks and try to guess whos come around and who's stayed)
Now he regerets using her. And has actualy fallin in luv. But she knows she was used by him and doesnt know if she should luv this guy or not.
All in All its drinving him crazy. But she knows she is.
