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 heard an angels voice, singing in quiet prayer
It seemed to pull my heart, slowly straight up the stairs
I spent that night awake, though you lay fast asleep,
I saw a teardrop fall, gently down your cheek
You still love him but she does too, she'll take him far away from you
You still love him but she does too, she'll take him far away from you
I crept out of the house, and tip-toed to your room,
But found your body gone, and left was just a hollow tomb
I think that love is like falling into the deepest sleep
I wake and try to move again but find my body's rendered weak
I feel that it's like walking down a railway track
There's ghosts out in the square tonight screaming i want my money back
You still love him but she does too, she'll take him far away from you
You still love him but she does too, she'll take him far away from you
It seemed to pull my heart, slowly straight up the stairs
I spent that night awake, though you lay fast asleep,
I saw a teardrop fall, gently down your cheek
You still love him but she does too, she'll take him far away from you
You still love him but she does too, she'll take him far away from you
I crept out of the house, and tip-toed to your room,
But found your body gone, and left was just a hollow tomb
I think that love is like falling into the deepest sleep
I wake and try to move again but find my body's rendered weak
I feel that it's like walking down a railway track
There's ghosts out in the square tonight screaming i want my money back
You still love him but she does too, she'll take him far away from you
You still love him but she does too, she'll take him far away from you

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Magical

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.
