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.
You're a little bit damaged, I'm a sucker for that
Wanna take you in my hands, wanna bring you back
You're a little bit damaged, I'm a sucker for that
Wanna fill up the spaces, and be everything you lack
You're a little bit jaded, and you're closing the door
And all that you felt then, you don't feel it anymore
I'm the picture that's faded, I'm the love you don't trust
Take the girl out from under glass and she'll always want too much
I know… you're just broken
I know… you're just broken, you're just broken
You're a little bit damaged , I'm a sucker for that
So in the moment I lost you, I wanted you back
But that's a feeling that's fading, and I'm closing the door
And all that I felt then, I don't feel it anymore
I know… you're just broken
I know… you're just broken, you're just broken
You're just broken, you're just broken
You're just broken, you're just broken
Wanna take you in my hands, wanna bring you back
You're a little bit damaged, I'm a sucker for that
Wanna fill up the spaces, and be everything you lack
You're a little bit jaded, and you're closing the door
And all that you felt then, you don't feel it anymore
I'm the picture that's faded, I'm the love you don't trust
Take the girl out from under glass and she'll always want too much
I know… you're just broken
I know… you're just broken, you're just broken
You're a little bit damaged , I'm a sucker for that
So in the moment I lost you, I wanted you back
But that's a feeling that's fading, and I'm closing the door
And all that I felt then, I don't feel it anymore
I know… you're just broken
I know… you're just broken, you're just broken
You're just broken, you're just broken
You're just broken, you're just broken

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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Amazing

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.
i think this is about a girl who is in love with a boy who is imperfect but she loves that about him because she is also imperfect. Its cute.
it's pretty much about a relationship between two messed up people who don't love each other anymore.
beautiful song. i think a lot of girls and relate to this feeling of knowing a boy that's "broken" and wanting to fill in the emptiness in his life and make him happy again, or "fill up the spaces, be everything you lack."
She <i>used</i> to be in love with someone who she wanted to take care of/help/fix. She's no longer in love with him /her and can move on with her life.
I think this happens when you have two people who have been burned in romance and have heavy defenses. She was attracted to him because he was damaged, and the feeling was probably mutual. However, he was leery and his trust was shaken somehow and he shut himself off to her. His act of closing the door shook her trust, and in her mind the dude went from "damaged" to "broken". Their mutual suspiciousness became a self-fulfilling prophesy, and in the aftermath the narrator consoles herself by justifying what happened in labeling him unfit, broken.

I think this is about a girl who's in love with a boy, but he has been hurt in his past and has issues trusting people. So he pushes her away and she wants him back.
