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.
All is cold and frozen
Frozen the sea, frozen the sky
Frozen is death, but I cannot die
Cannot die
As the snow falls to cover this all
All is cold and cold is all
Cold, frozen
Frozen is heaven and frozen is hell
And I am dying in this living human shell
I am a dying God, coming into human flesh
I am a dying God
Frozen my heart, frozen my soul
Frozen my love
I am a dying God coming into human flesh
Frozen the sea, frozen the sky
Frozen is death, but I cannot die
Cannot die
As the snow falls to cover this all
All is cold and cold is all
Cold, frozen
Frozen is heaven and frozen is hell
And I am dying in this living human shell
I am a dying God, coming into human flesh
I am a dying God
Frozen my heart, frozen my soul
Frozen my love
I am a dying God coming into human flesh

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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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,
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
IMHO,What this song is saying to the Judeo-Christian-Islamic version of god is "How would YOU feel if you had to deal with this world you claimed that you created,with all of it's suffering and misery,if YOU honestly had to live in it as a dying human?Condemned for all that makes you human and forced to die alone...
I feel like this song is almost mocking the Christian god. Portraying an immortal being's desire to be able to die when the world has frozen and died, and there's nothing left.
I have a theory since many stuff that I read that is that Tom was very bitter about his relationships with the band and his former record label "Loud Records". Essentially I think the whole song...possibly the rest of the album is a huge metaphor of his thoughts of being a big rock star and ended up being backstabbed and left forgotten. Like the title "A Dying God Coming Into Human Flesh" may possibly mean that he was a god as an like a "Metal God" like Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Halford ect. but over the years there where some stuff happening behind the scenes which ended up breaking up Celtic Frost. The "human flesh" part may possibly mean that his status of a god has been stripped as time goes by when every one forgot about the band and pretty much lived the rest of his life as a mortal...like a being us humans and just left forgotten like the rest of us as a human race.
"Frozen the sea", sounds like a metaphor for "Cold Lake". Which everyone knows that album bombed. That would be something when every one has turned their backs on them and thus start the decline of the band.
Thus being "A Dying God Coming Into Human Flesh".
this is a goddamn awesome song. i don't have a clue what its about, but it sounds ancient. primordial.
this song is just immense....unbelievable.....i think roninmuse has the right idea for the meaning...
I am a dying God(Star) coming into human flesh.
You are what's left of a dying star.
This song is mocking the religious ideal of immortality when it is obvious that the world is eventually going to come to an end (What's there to live for when the world is dead?) and also psychologically we would eventually become weary of life if we had to live forever, tedium would eventually have us wish for death, we would become dead inside: Frozen my heart. Frozen my soul. Frozen my love.
The death of God has been known as a symbol of humanity losing its faith, and as frost is a metaphor of death, "frozen is heaven and frozen is hell", which means that faith is dying. So the one who was previously living in a delusion of absurd immortality (religious man) gets hit by the revelation that this mortal human flesh is all there is and it's dying as we live.
I really think the whole song is a metaphor for birth. I know it doesn't make sense for every line in the lyrics, but I really can relate to the interpretation of it. A birth has something violent to it, which is really what the song sounds like. A violent act of forcing a soul into a ephemeral body, doomed to die slowly in it. It is a very dark interpretation of life itself...
