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.
Some people kill for less
Some people find
It hard to get dressed
Some people well
Ask how old I am
Some people live
In a life
Some people need
More than a slice
But when it fades
When the glitters gone
[Chorus]
Old and lonely
When the shade is down
The brighter lights
Just smells their empty heads
Some people don't get much
Some people feel here and touch
What your spirit wants
Is talking to you now
Some people just gotta say
Some people just wanna play
They get a kick
When it's all messed up
[Chorus]
And what you thought you
Lost was just mislaid
All the poems
Written in your skin
[Chorus x2]
And what you thought you
Lost was just mislaid
All the poems
Written in your skin
Some people find
It hard to get dressed
Some people well
Ask how old I am
Some people live
In a life
Some people need
More than a slice
But when it fades
When the glitters gone
[Chorus]
Old and lonely
When the shade is down
The brighter lights
Just smells their empty heads
Some people don't get much
Some people feel here and touch
What your spirit wants
Is talking to you now
Some people just gotta say
Some people just wanna play
They get a kick
When it's all messed up
[Chorus]
And what you thought you
Lost was just mislaid
All the poems
Written in your skin
[Chorus x2]
And what you thought you
Lost was just mislaid
All the poems
Written in your skin

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
I think the problem with being an underage hitman, like in this song, is that you can't really get into bars, strip clubs, or other places that your target may be hiding or hanging out. I don't think the artists know much about being hitmen, or about killing people. They shouldn't write music if they don't know the subject matter. I am just saying.
