Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Maybe we, why don't we
Sit right here for half an hour?
We'll speak of what a waste I am
And how we missed your beat again
I swear we need to find some comfort
In this run down place
To bridge the gap of this conscious state
That we live in
I'm short on time
How come you try?
That brings us home
To fit the shape of
And I pray for
What they tell you
You to move on, move on (but mostly what they show you)
At this rate we can't keep up but I sure
I'm taking back all the things I said
I'm taking back all the things I said
But I sure can't just sit still
Keep me filled in, I swear I'll come
We walk alone
We walk alone
We walk alone
We walk alone
We walk alone
We walk alone
Back home
Alone back home
You're almost gone and I'm okay
I still see your shadow
To give you time to be afraid
But never your face again
I remember your presence
I hope to God you come down
I hope to God you feel this now
I hope to God you come down
I hope to
God
I know there must be some way out of here
And all of them will be waiting there
Sit right here for half an hour?
We'll speak of what a waste I am
And how we missed your beat again
I swear we need to find some comfort
In this run down place
To bridge the gap of this conscious state
That we live in
I'm short on time
How come you try?
That brings us home
To fit the shape of
And I pray for
What they tell you
You to move on, move on (but mostly what they show you)
At this rate we can't keep up but I sure
I'm taking back all the things I said
I'm taking back all the things I said
But I sure can't just sit still
Keep me filled in, I swear I'll come
We walk alone
We walk alone
We walk alone
We walk alone
We walk alone
We walk alone
Back home
Alone back home
You're almost gone and I'm okay
I still see your shadow
To give you time to be afraid
But never your face again
I remember your presence
I hope to God you come down
I hope to God you feel this now
I hope to God you come down
I hope to
God
I know there must be some way out of here
And all of them will be waiting there

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”
it's..
...to breach the gap of this constant state that we live in...
