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 never really want to be alone
I had a woman once in my life and but now she's flown
Every night I keep seeing her face
I never really broke her heart. She was a part of me
But that's the way it was now we live separately
When will you walk through this door babe?
When you left I fell to pieces
But now I feel as good as if I were dead
I'll keep remembering all my life
Remembering when you were my wife
Remembering all my life
And I'm facing a life that I must go through remembering
I first set my eyes on you one cold February
You made me go out of my way to make me feel fine
Oh but when will you walk through this door babe?
When you left I fell to pieces
Now I feel as good as good as if I were dead
I'll keep remembering all my life
Remembering when you were my wife
Remembering all my life
And I'm facing a life that I must go through remembering
I had a woman once in my life and but now she's flown
Every night I keep seeing her face
I never really broke her heart. She was a part of me
But that's the way it was now we live separately
When will you walk through this door babe?
When you left I fell to pieces
But now I feel as good as if I were dead
I'll keep remembering all my life
Remembering when you were my wife
Remembering all my life
And I'm facing a life that I must go through remembering
I first set my eyes on you one cold February
You made me go out of my way to make me feel fine
Oh but when will you walk through this door babe?
When you left I fell to pieces
Now I feel as good as good as if I were dead
I'll keep remembering all my life
Remembering when you were my wife
Remembering all my life
And I'm facing a life that I must go through remembering

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.

@[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.

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.
