its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
fisting society
to become the one on top
the most wet
the most respected
yet we all hate each other anyway
can't stand the decit from allies
that were in the light
with intent to be in the dark
when we face it
we face the ways of success
you can dance around the truth all you want
but it wont change the outcome
your fan clubs exist only in shelled minds
they can't see whats going on
when you lie straight to their face
about how much you love them
face the love they gave you
you were not sent from the future
to ever save anyone of us
we can deal with it on our own
we dance around a light
that most will never see nor feel
but we see (into darkness)
face the facts of dismal acts
as i spread my wings to leave
all this in the dust
all this in old and older news
even the will
the will of the gods
will not save you
you are too far in
all of you
you and your friends
chose to manifest some sin
to become the one on top
the most wet
the most respected
yet we all hate each other anyway
can't stand the decit from allies
that were in the light
with intent to be in the dark
when we face it
we face the ways of success
you can dance around the truth all you want
but it wont change the outcome
your fan clubs exist only in shelled minds
they can't see whats going on
when you lie straight to their face
about how much you love them
face the love they gave you
you were not sent from the future
to ever save anyone of us
we can deal with it on our own
we dance around a light
that most will never see nor feel
but we see (into darkness)
face the facts of dismal acts
as i spread my wings to leave
all this in the dust
all this in old and older news
even the will
the will of the gods
will not save you
you are too far in
all of you
you and your friends
chose to manifest some sin

He certainly did earn that reputation.

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.

@[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.

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.
yeah these guys are amazing damn i wish i lived in the US to see them for 8 bucks!!! definitely one of my favourites by them
