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.
Dry your eyes
Hide your face with your hands
One last breath
Hold it in
Fuck your past
Your future
Is in your hands
Just sit back and relax
Put your fucking shades on
Put that gun to your head
You're a fucking disgrace
Can your god save you now?
Can your god save you now?
Can your god save you now?
Can your god save you now?
Can your god save you now?
Can your god save you now?
You coward
You coward
You coward
You coward
Drowning yourself
In your tears
No one has
Pity for you
Pity for you
Pity for you
Pity for you
Seconds from the end
What's it gonna be
Pull the trigger bitch
Seconds from the end
What's it gonna be
Pull the trigger bitch
Seconds from the end
What's it gonna be
Pull the trigger bitch
Seconds from the end
What's it gonna be
Pull the trigger bitch
Hide your face with your hands
One last breath
Hold it in
Fuck your past
Your future
Is in your hands
Just sit back and relax
Put your fucking shades on
Put that gun to your head
You're a fucking disgrace
Can your god save you now?
Can your god save you now?
Can your god save you now?
Can your god save you now?
Can your god save you now?
Can your god save you now?
You coward
You coward
You coward
You coward
Drowning yourself
In your tears
No one has
Pity for you
Pity for you
Pity for you
Pity for you
Seconds from the end
What's it gonna be
Pull the trigger bitch
Seconds from the end
What's it gonna be
Pull the trigger bitch
Seconds from the end
What's it gonna be
Pull the trigger bitch
Seconds from the end
What's it gonna be
Pull the trigger bitch

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
This song basically is saying to all those people who say they want to committ suicide because "their life is sooooo bad and miserable..." Go play in traffic... i know that interpretation is harsh but it's true
the truth is harsh and it is almost never heard today but we need it.
