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?
If music is
A mirror revealing
The depths of my heart
Then I will write
The darkest song
For without
Forgiveness
My soul is lost
All that is hope
Within destruction
Comes from you
For I have fallen
All that is hope
Within destruction
Comes from you
For I have fallen
Fallen
If music is
A mirror revealing
The depths of my heart
Then I will write
The darkest song
For without
Forgiveness
My soul is lost
All that is hope
Within destruction
Comes from you
For I have fallen
And there is nothing good
Within me yet I've
Been given life
I will
I will never
Deserve
For without
Forgiveness
Without forgiveness my soul is lost
All that is hope
Within destruction
All that is hope
Within destruction
All that is hope
Within destruction
All that is hope
Within destruction
All that is hope
All that is hope
All that is hope
All that is hope
A mirror revealing
The depths of my heart
Then I will write
The darkest song
For without
Forgiveness
My soul is lost
All that is hope
Within destruction
Comes from you
For I have fallen
All that is hope
Within destruction
Comes from you
For I have fallen
Fallen
If music is
A mirror revealing
The depths of my heart
Then I will write
The darkest song
For without
Forgiveness
My soul is lost
All that is hope
Within destruction
Comes from you
For I have fallen
And there is nothing good
Within me yet I've
Been given life
I will
I will never
Deserve
For without
Forgiveness
Without forgiveness my soul is lost
All that is hope
Within destruction
All that is hope
Within destruction
All that is hope
Within destruction
All that is hope
Within destruction
All that is hope
All that is hope
All that is hope
All that is hope

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.

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”
"Hope within destruction" and "without forgiveness my soul is lost" say it all. Though his soul is condemned, and there were many instances of destruction in his life (by that i think he means sins that he's done), God is always there to forgive him. Not a Christian myself but I think that's what the song basically means. The new album is sooo good.
So, do you not believe that you are also condemned as you have sinned, and that there is an eternal presence of a savior to leave this evil world behind? You must realize that without an eternal, superhuman being as is God, there is no origin of life. And no origin of anything. How can you believe a universe so complex and infinite can be created in apathy? Simply because you cannot comprehend the intellect of a "mind" infinitely beyond yours does not mean it doesn't exist; it only proves it true.
Maybe he knows shit about science, so he doesn't feel the need to believe in an all powerful god.<br /> So, let's not judge others since none of us are perfect.<br /> Plus, It's just annoying how preachy that was.
