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.
Hey, you know it's all okay
You couldn't let me down
'Cause you've given me all I got
All I got
And change, don't change
I know you can always be yourself
Don't think that they want someone else
You're givin' up
Please don't stop, please don't stop
Just sing along to your favorite song
Takes you back to where you come from
Tired of the place you can't erase
Whenever sense is your only shape
Sing along 'cause you know all the words
Feel the good, the bad and the hurts
So turn it up loud and let it all out
Slowly slipping under
And this, oh, it's not so bad
You got a heartbeat for a voice
And that's not your fault
Not your fault
Now drive
If that's what you have to do to think
Let everyone else fall asleep
You're givin' up
So turn it up, turn it up
And sing along to your favorite song
Takes you back to where you come from
Tired of the place you can't erase
Whenever sense is your only shape
Sing along 'cause you know all the words
Feel the good, the bad and the hurts
So turn it up loud and let it all out
Slowly slipping under
You want so much, you had it all
So drive all night, it's not your fault
You want so much, you had it all
So drive all night, it's not your fault
You want so much, you had it all
So drive all night
Hey, you know it's all okay
You got a heartbeat for a voice
Don't give it up
Don't, don't, don't, don't give it up
Sing along to your favorite song
Takes you back to where you come from
Tired of the place, you can't erase
Whenever sense is your only shape
Sing along 'cause you know all the words
Feel the good, the bad and the hurts
So turn it up loud and let it all out
Slowly slipping under
You couldn't let me down
'Cause you've given me all I got
All I got
And change, don't change
I know you can always be yourself
Don't think that they want someone else
You're givin' up
Please don't stop, please don't stop
Just sing along to your favorite song
Takes you back to where you come from
Tired of the place you can't erase
Whenever sense is your only shape
Sing along 'cause you know all the words
Feel the good, the bad and the hurts
So turn it up loud and let it all out
Slowly slipping under
And this, oh, it's not so bad
You got a heartbeat for a voice
And that's not your fault
Not your fault
Now drive
If that's what you have to do to think
Let everyone else fall asleep
You're givin' up
So turn it up, turn it up
And sing along to your favorite song
Takes you back to where you come from
Tired of the place you can't erase
Whenever sense is your only shape
Sing along 'cause you know all the words
Feel the good, the bad and the hurts
So turn it up loud and let it all out
Slowly slipping under
You want so much, you had it all
So drive all night, it's not your fault
You want so much, you had it all
So drive all night, it's not your fault
You want so much, you had it all
So drive all night
Hey, you know it's all okay
You got a heartbeat for a voice
Don't give it up
Don't, don't, don't, don't give it up
Sing along to your favorite song
Takes you back to where you come from
Tired of the place, you can't erase
Whenever sense is your only shape
Sing along 'cause you know all the words
Feel the good, the bad and the hurts
So turn it up loud and let it all out
Slowly slipping under

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.

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.
