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 recall a long farewell and a time to choose
So we part like rivers baby, yeah like rivers do
But I still talk about you though and wonder
How it is your life will unfold
Show me what it looks like
Outside your window at twilight
Show me what it looks like
I recall drivin' home, this ain't gonna hit me till God knows when
You know I feel it in my bones and I wear it on my skin
But there is no use in right or wrong
When a heart must go where it belongs
[Chorus: ]
Show me what it looks like
Outside your window at twilight
Is it me that you see dancing on a line,
Singin? I could be yours if you would be mine
C?mon grow old with me and surely you will see
I remember thinking, boy you must be dreaming
So hold on, hold on, before it's all gone
And I do remember thinking
That your world will go on spinning
Without me now, so c'mon, c'mon please
Show me what it looks like
Outside your window at twilight
[Chorus: ]
I recall a long farewell and a time to choose
So we part like rivers baby, yeah like rivers do
So we part like rivers baby, yeah like rivers do
But I still talk about you though and wonder
How it is your life will unfold
Show me what it looks like
Outside your window at twilight
Show me what it looks like
I recall drivin' home, this ain't gonna hit me till God knows when
You know I feel it in my bones and I wear it on my skin
But there is no use in right or wrong
When a heart must go where it belongs
[Chorus: ]
Show me what it looks like
Outside your window at twilight
Is it me that you see dancing on a line,
Singin? I could be yours if you would be mine
C?mon grow old with me and surely you will see
I remember thinking, boy you must be dreaming
So hold on, hold on, before it's all gone
And I do remember thinking
That your world will go on spinning
Without me now, so c'mon, c'mon please
Show me what it looks like
Outside your window at twilight
[Chorus: ]
I recall a long farewell and a time to choose
So we part like rivers baby, yeah like rivers do

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.

“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.
I absolutely love this song. His voice takes some getting used to but it is really great!
