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.
He's so pale
He's so pale
Around his eyes are black rings(?)
?
is dying
And he hopes that he is
He doesn't have
any chance to do anything
?
he stays indoors hiding
He knows somethings wrong
It doesn't bother him
He's no longer going to try
To get out out of the mess he's in
His life it is no lie
he don't care at all
He wants to be left alone
He doesn't want to see anyone
He doesn't feel like talking
He wants everyone to stay away
He's no longer going to try
To get out out of the mess he's in
His life it is no lie
He don't care at all
He's so pale
Around his eyes are black rings(?)
?
is dying
And he hopes that he is
He doesn't have
any chance to do anything
?
he stays indoors hiding
He knows somethings wrong
It doesn't bother him
He's no longer going to try
To get out out of the mess he's in
His life it is no lie
he don't care at all
He wants to be left alone
He doesn't want to see anyone
He doesn't feel like talking
He wants everyone to stay away
He's no longer going to try
To get out out of the mess he's in
His life it is no lie
He don't care at all

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.

Blue

“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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
