Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
[Verse 1]:
She never took the train alone,
She hated being on her own,
She always took me by the hand,
And say she needs me.
She never wanted love to fail,
She always hoped that it was real
She?d look me in the eyes,
And say believe me.
But then the night becomes the day,
And there?s nothing left to say,
If there?s nothing left to say,
Then something?s wrong...
[Chorus]:
Oh tonight,
You killed me with your smile,
So beautiful and wild,
So beautiful...
Oh tonight,
You killed me with your smile,
So beautiful and wild,
So beautiful and wild.
[Verse 2]:
And as the hands would turn with time,
She?d always say that she was my mine,
She?d turn and lend a smile,
To say that she?s gone...
But in a whisper she?d arrive,
And dance into my life,
Like a music melody,
Like a lovers song!
[Chorus]:
Oh tonight,
You killed me with your smile,
So beautiful and wild,
So beautiful and wild.
Oh tonight,
You killed me with your smile,
So beautiful and wild,
So beautiful and wild.
[Bridge]:
Through the darkest night,
Comes the brightest light,
And the light that shines is deep inside...
It?s who you are...!
[Chorus]:
Oh tonight,
You killed me with your smile,
So beautiful and wild,
So beautiful...
Oh tonight,
You killed me with your smile,
So beautiful and wild,
So beautiful and wild.
So beautiful and wild ...
So beautiful and wild...
She never took the train alone,
She hated being on her own,
She always took me by the hand,
And say she needs me.
She never wanted love to fail,
She always hoped that it was real
She?d look me in the eyes,
And say believe me.
But then the night becomes the day,
And there?s nothing left to say,
If there?s nothing left to say,
Then something?s wrong...
[Chorus]:
Oh tonight,
You killed me with your smile,
So beautiful and wild,
So beautiful...
Oh tonight,
You killed me with your smile,
So beautiful and wild,
So beautiful and wild.
[Verse 2]:
And as the hands would turn with time,
She?d always say that she was my mine,
She?d turn and lend a smile,
To say that she?s gone...
But in a whisper she?d arrive,
And dance into my life,
Like a music melody,
Like a lovers song!
[Chorus]:
Oh tonight,
You killed me with your smile,
So beautiful and wild,
So beautiful and wild.
Oh tonight,
You killed me with your smile,
So beautiful and wild,
So beautiful and wild.
[Bridge]:
Through the darkest night,
Comes the brightest light,
And the light that shines is deep inside...
It?s who you are...!
[Chorus]:
Oh tonight,
You killed me with your smile,
So beautiful and wild,
So beautiful...
Oh tonight,
You killed me with your smile,
So beautiful and wild,
So beautiful and wild.
So beautiful and wild ...
So beautiful and wild...

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.

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.

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
