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.
A horse a chicken and a goat
All jumped into a big lifeboat
The captain said knock knock knock
The ship's gonna sink by the hot ice rock
Ice rock a chicken and a goat
Ice rock into a big lifeboat
Ice rock he said knock knock knock
The ship's gonna sink by the hot ice rock
Put on your big flat snow shoes
Dance all night and sing the blues
We ain't got no time to talk
When we're doing that hot ice rock
Cut down the sails and don't you wait
All we'll be is shark bait
The whole ship is in a shock
When we bumped that big ice rock
Way down on the deck was a guy called Mack
He could take a lot but this made him crack
Handsome Pete afraid to loose his face
Dived in the waves left without a trace
All jumped into a big lifeboat
The captain said knock knock knock
The ship's gonna sink by the hot ice rock
Ice rock a chicken and a goat
Ice rock into a big lifeboat
Ice rock he said knock knock knock
The ship's gonna sink by the hot ice rock
Put on your big flat snow shoes
Dance all night and sing the blues
We ain't got no time to talk
When we're doing that hot ice rock
Cut down the sails and don't you wait
All we'll be is shark bait
The whole ship is in a shock
When we bumped that big ice rock
Way down on the deck was a guy called Mack
He could take a lot but this made him crack
Handsome Pete afraid to loose his face
Dived in the waves left without a trace

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

@[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.

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.
