He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Melody day, what have I done? (Ah)
Now our hearts are locked up tight again
And when I pray it's all begun
And when you smile it melts away again
Melody day, where have you gone? (Ooh)
All the hope I had has gone away
And what we had has come undone
And when you smile it melts away again
Be there
Be there
Be there
Be there
Melody day, what have I done? (Ah)
Now our hearts are locked up tight again
And when I pray it's all begun
And when you smile it melts away again
Tell them, oh
Tell them I always knew why, oh
So long, oh
So long to say goodbye
Be there
Be there
Be there
Be there
Now our hearts are locked up tight again
And when I pray it's all begun
And when you smile it melts away again
Melody day, where have you gone? (Ooh)
All the hope I had has gone away
And what we had has come undone
And when you smile it melts away again
Be there
Be there
Be there
Be there
Melody day, what have I done? (Ah)
Now our hearts are locked up tight again
And when I pray it's all begun
And when you smile it melts away again
Tell them, oh
Tell them I always knew why, oh
So long, oh
So long to say goodbye
Be there
Be there
Be there
Be there

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.

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”
This is one of the best songs i have heard this year. The lyrics are pretty straightforward, but i think most of the meaning lies in the lush arrangement of sounds. It's about the disillusionment and disappointment that occurs after you realize a relationship is not what you originally thought it was.
