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.
For you, we steer a house of smoke and brick and I keep it all For you,
Bedecked with bicycles to pick and I keep it all For you,
It wouldn't do wandering all adrift so I keep it all For you,
There's fire in the belly of our ship, I keep it all
Call if the lights on, come in and lay low Just so that you know,
Go on and Fall down and hold your ground,
A harbor that grows And how could you know,
That I keep it all
For you we fill our sails with tales and fables I keep it all For you,
To bear you through stormy seas unstable and I keep it all, For you,
You're welcome to all that's on my table I keep it all and you,
I count you til I fall asleep, I keep it all.
Call if the lights on, come in and lay low Just so that you know,
Go on and Fall down and hold your ground,
A harbor that grows And how could you know, that I keep it all
What you say we come up with the sun,
The morning bell to come and be my friend until the end I'll be your friend as well
Bedecked with bicycles to pick and I keep it all For you,
It wouldn't do wandering all adrift so I keep it all For you,
There's fire in the belly of our ship, I keep it all
Call if the lights on, come in and lay low Just so that you know,
Go on and Fall down and hold your ground,
A harbor that grows And how could you know,
That I keep it all
For you we fill our sails with tales and fables I keep it all For you,
To bear you through stormy seas unstable and I keep it all, For you,
You're welcome to all that's on my table I keep it all and you,
I count you til I fall asleep, I keep it all.
Call if the lights on, come in and lay low Just so that you know,
Go on and Fall down and hold your ground,
A harbor that grows And how could you know, that I keep it all
What you say we come up with the sun,
The morning bell to come and be my friend until the end I'll be your friend as well

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

“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.
