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.
No regrets
Everything will work out fine
We'll hold our breath
Wait for another sign
I've tasted your bittersweet faith
My heart aches for you
I'm taking a moment to say
Everything I do
I do for you
I do it all for you
Lay your sweet
Tears across my broken dream
Don't you speak
A word about the past
You need more than I'll ever give
I can't lie to you
I love you, my angel, my sin
Everything I do
I do for you
I do it all for you
Anything, anything, anything, for you
Anything
Are we moving in the right direction?
What is fate if fate's immersed in shame?
A high price for the beauty of perfection
I go when all I want to do is stay
I do it all for you
I do it all for you
Oh, do it all for you
Anything, anything
Oh, do it all for you
Anything, anything, anything
Do it all for you
Everything will work out fine
We'll hold our breath
Wait for another sign
I've tasted your bittersweet faith
My heart aches for you
I'm taking a moment to say
Everything I do
I do for you
I do it all for you
Lay your sweet
Tears across my broken dream
Don't you speak
A word about the past
You need more than I'll ever give
I can't lie to you
I love you, my angel, my sin
Everything I do
I do for you
I do it all for you
Anything, anything, anything, for you
Anything
Are we moving in the right direction?
What is fate if fate's immersed in shame?
A high price for the beauty of perfection
I go when all I want to do is stay
I do it all for you
I do it all for you
Oh, do it all for you
Anything, anything
Oh, do it all for you
Anything, anything, anything
Do it all for you

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
