Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Infinite silence
flowing right in with the dawn
This is wrong, this is wrong
And I cannot sleep without the radio on
And how could anyone
You are in my dreams
Half human, half machine
You with someone else that I have felt and seen
I cannot rest, or my consciousness contest
Looking right through the lens
From winter brings the spring again
Infinite silence
flowing right in with the dawn
This is wrong, this is wrong
And I cannot sleep without the radio on
And we fall asleep again with ties to mend
So please let the cleaning begin with evolution
Hold my breath 'til communication is
Only just a test
Hold my breath 'til communication is
Only just a test
Hold my breath 'til communication is
Only just a test
You are in my dreams
Half human, half machine
Looking right through the lens
From winter brings the spring again
Infinite silence
flowing right in with the dawn
This is wrong, this is wrong
And I cannot sleep without the radio on
Infinite silence
flowing right in with the dawn
This is wrong, this is wrong
And I cannot sleep without the radio
flowing right in with the dawn
This is wrong, this is wrong
And I cannot sleep without the radio on
And how could anyone
You are in my dreams
Half human, half machine
You with someone else that I have felt and seen
I cannot rest, or my consciousness contest
Looking right through the lens
From winter brings the spring again
Infinite silence
flowing right in with the dawn
This is wrong, this is wrong
And I cannot sleep without the radio on
And we fall asleep again with ties to mend
So please let the cleaning begin with evolution
Hold my breath 'til communication is
Only just a test
Hold my breath 'til communication is
Only just a test
Hold my breath 'til communication is
Only just a test
You are in my dreams
Half human, half machine
Looking right through the lens
From winter brings the spring again
Infinite silence
flowing right in with the dawn
This is wrong, this is wrong
And I cannot sleep without the radio on
Infinite silence
flowing right in with the dawn
This is wrong, this is wrong
And I cannot sleep without the radio

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.

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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.
i think you're right, but this is pretty much what i got:
the half human half machine part is religion. its half human in the fact that sometimes you feel it really intimate connection it, other times its just given to you, flat out with no relation, or is just put in cold context in a way that you can't relate (sort of publicized consistently, and we are told what to believe) in very mechanical way. then theres this feeling in the song that he is consistently fighting with the half and half feelings he's having, and the "ties to mend" are issues that he can't clearly define as being a part of religion but can't ignore, such as evolution. also, the part where he says "looking through the lens," i feel like thats almost him examining religion and trying to understand, but still going around and around with the whole idea of it.
thats just my interpretation.
