its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
I want to bury your face in the
Midwestern dirt to dull the shape
And cut that hand that changed my name
Polishing
And my next words could be my last
My clumsy mouth and the egg shells cracked
And oh no, oh no, oh no no, oh no, oh no no
I'm sinking in deeper, midwestern dirt
Sinking in deeper, midwestern dirt
Did you ever want to start?
Or just watch my love
I'm just some impulse buy
You couldn't take your eyes off of
Some clean white slate for you to fill in the blanks
Then show me off, you show me off
And my next words could be my last
My clumsy mouth and the egg shells cracked
And oh no, oh no, oh no no, oh no, oh no no
I'm sinking in deeper midwestern dirt
Sinking in deeper midwestern dirt
And you'll stay above me forever
Like you stay above me for now
Midwestern dirt to dull the shape
And cut that hand that changed my name
Polishing
And my next words could be my last
My clumsy mouth and the egg shells cracked
And oh no, oh no, oh no no, oh no, oh no no
I'm sinking in deeper, midwestern dirt
Sinking in deeper, midwestern dirt
Did you ever want to start?
Or just watch my love
I'm just some impulse buy
You couldn't take your eyes off of
Some clean white slate for you to fill in the blanks
Then show me off, you show me off
And my next words could be my last
My clumsy mouth and the egg shells cracked
And oh no, oh no, oh no no, oh no, oh no no
I'm sinking in deeper midwestern dirt
Sinking in deeper midwestern dirt
And you'll stay above me forever
Like you stay above me for now

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.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
