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.
It must be this place we're in
The altitude and all those vanilla cola stolis
Have made your blood run thin
'Cause you're still here
Maybe your judgement's rendered clear
You must be seeing straight
'Cause no one's recognized me in this state
I'm now living in
It must be this town we're in tonight
Well the moon's raised up in the west
Braced on a clouded peak
When your words just blushed my cheek
Facing east the smooth light soothes two
Now you're saying what I want to hear from you
And maybe all my desperate dreams of true love
Are still coming true
(Chorus)
On my long ride
I'll sit back and pretend
You're mine
Fixating your return
To the timing in my
Life
By the time we left the crowded scene
Your hand's clenched tight in my hand
Walking home we find the silent street
Conversation with a new friend
Realizing you forgot you knew
Now I'm saying words I want to hear from you
Wake me up or my desperate dreams of true love
May still be coming true
(Chorus)
This time I won't obsess again
Delaying wide awake lying in your bed
The sound of your machine pumping my thin frame
How's a brother suppose to sleep lying next to you
This time I won't obsess again
The altitude and all those vanilla cola stolis
Have made your blood run thin
'Cause you're still here
Maybe your judgement's rendered clear
You must be seeing straight
'Cause no one's recognized me in this state
I'm now living in
It must be this town we're in tonight
Well the moon's raised up in the west
Braced on a clouded peak
When your words just blushed my cheek
Facing east the smooth light soothes two
Now you're saying what I want to hear from you
And maybe all my desperate dreams of true love
Are still coming true
(Chorus)
On my long ride
I'll sit back and pretend
You're mine
Fixating your return
To the timing in my
Life
By the time we left the crowded scene
Your hand's clenched tight in my hand
Walking home we find the silent street
Conversation with a new friend
Realizing you forgot you knew
Now I'm saying words I want to hear from you
Wake me up or my desperate dreams of true love
May still be coming true
(Chorus)
This time I won't obsess again
Delaying wide awake lying in your bed
The sound of your machine pumping my thin frame
How's a brother suppose to sleep lying next to you
This time I won't obsess again

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
