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.
Passed out in our school clothes
So we'd wake up in our Sunday's best.
I never asked for your oppinion, I just got it.
And I get it, you move slow like daytime drama.
And I'm boring like his songs.
So while I'm taking you forgranted, I'll be humming along.
All that I want is, everything you are
We'll sit right here till we finally set this right.
Well shouldn't you be, leaving soon. Well shouldn't you...
Cross my heart and hope to, I'm lying just to keep you here
So wreckless, so thoughtless, I could care less.
Cross my heart and hope to, I'm lying just to keep you here.
So wreckless, so thoughtless, I...
So paint your face up something elegant
And this town may be a darker shade of red.
Cause a long night, means a fist fight, between my pillow and your pearly whites.
It's everything you've been waiting for.
Well shouldn't you be leaving soon. Shouldn't you, shouldn't you.
Cross my heart and hope to, I'm lying just to keep you here.
So wreckless, so thoughtless, so careless.
I could care less.
Cross my heart and hope to.
So wreckless, so thoughtless, I...
Keep your hands up
and your head down.
Shut your mouth now.
Shut your trap now.
Keep your hands up,
and your head down,
and your hands up.
Shut your trap now
One of us never did it but we're taking the fall,
Tell me why your eyes never batted when you said you wanted it all.
Tonight won't make a difference.
Tonight won't make a difference.
And neither will I.

Van Halen
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.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
haha, the title is awesome.
