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.
Original Japanese lyrics:
緑の交差点でパラシュート開けど
速すぎ間に合わずシニガミが横切った
大きな風になびくようだ all day holiday
all day holiday 帰り道は遠くて
ハシゴに手を伸ばして天窓の扉を
開けると青いづぎる パラシュート パラシュート パラシュート
諦めてハシゴで降りたら元の場所さ
大きな風になびくようだ all day holiday
all day holiday 帰り道は遠くて
迷いのかじをとれ パラシュート パラシュート パラシュート
ハシゴに手を伸ばして天窓の扉を
開けると青いづぎる パラシュート パラシュート パラシュート
どこに降りればいいのか あぶく声も風に
迷いのかじをとれ パラシュート パラシュート パラシュート
パラシュート パラシュート パラシュート
パラシュート パラシュート パラシュート
Romanized Japanese lyrics:

Translated lyrics:
A parachute opened too soon at a plant-covered intersection
A demon made his crossing just in time
And fluttered in a gust of wind
All Day Holiday
All Day Holiday
The path back home is far away
Hands reach for a ladder and a too-blue skylight opens
If you give up on climbing the ladder,
You’ll get blown away by a big wind.
All Day Holiday
All Day Holiday
The path home is far away
Catch the flame of confusion! Parachute, Parachute, Parachute!
Hands reach for a ladder and a too-blue skylight opens
Parachute, Parachute, Parachute!
Where’s the best place to land?
The frothing voice becomes wind, too
Catch the flame of confusion!
Parachute, parachute, parachute!
Parachute, parachute, parachute!
Parachute, parachute, parachute!

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”
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
While the lyrics seem bizarre, to say the least, it's pretty comprehensible with the translation on offer.
From what I gather of the song it's about falling off the ladder (the path to your dreams) when the wind knocks you off (setbacks), landing on earth with your parachute (brushing it off gently), and getting back up on the ladder to reach the blue sky (your main goal), no matter how many times you keep falling off.
In short: NEVER GIVE UP! No matter how many times the wind pushes you back!
It's a very optimistic song, especially in this day and age. Shugo mostly writes happy music, even if we don't know what he's saying initially.
