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 close my eyes so I don't have to see
I shut my heart and tell my mind to run and flee
Once I was flying, flying, flying high
I touched the sky
As long as I fall, I don't hit the ground
As long as I fall, I'm safe and sound
As long as I fly, I sure cannot die
I don't need to hear the call as long as I fall
Would I have time to change reality
I would become the man, the man I could never be
Oh, my God please tell me how to break free
Once I was flying, flying, flying high
I touched the sky
As long as I fall, I don't hit the ground
As long as I fall, I'm safe and sound
As long as I fly, I sure cannot die
I don't need to hear the call as long as I fall
As long as I fall
As long as I fall, I got no reason to care
As long as I fall, I got no problem to bear
I don't need to bother what I did or did not
I would cry out in pain but
As long as I fall, I don't hit the ground
As long as I fall, I'm safe and sound
I don't need to face no blame or disgrace
No reason to change at all
As long as I fall, I don't hit the ground
As long as I fall, I'm safe and sound
As long as I fly, I sure cannot die
I don't need to hear the call as long as I fall
I shut my heart and tell my mind to run and flee
Once I was flying, flying, flying high
I touched the sky
As long as I fall, I don't hit the ground
As long as I fall, I'm safe and sound
As long as I fly, I sure cannot die
I don't need to hear the call as long as I fall
Would I have time to change reality
I would become the man, the man I could never be
Oh, my God please tell me how to break free
Once I was flying, flying, flying high
I touched the sky
As long as I fall, I don't hit the ground
As long as I fall, I'm safe and sound
As long as I fly, I sure cannot die
I don't need to hear the call as long as I fall
As long as I fall
As long as I fall, I got no reason to care
As long as I fall, I got no problem to bear
I don't need to bother what I did or did not
I would cry out in pain but
As long as I fall, I don't hit the ground
As long as I fall, I'm safe and sound
I don't need to face no blame or disgrace
No reason to change at all
As long as I fall, I don't hit the ground
As long as I fall, I'm safe and sound
As long as I fly, I sure cannot die
I don't need to hear the call as long as I fall

@[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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
It sounds to me like the singer is talking about pessimism. Like... as long as he sucks at everything, he won't be upset if things go wrong.
Either that or he's talking about getting high off drugs and how it seems to make his problems go away. Iunno.
