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 was a silent partner I found
Myself with the rabble that stood on a mound
Hip shot thinking but not out loud
There are too many prophets here
On the upper side of the sound of the dark
I took it in silence I took it to heart
I carried it quietly over the wall
There were too many prophets there
I was behind it
One by one by one by one
One by one by one by one
Stand by zero
Stacked on zero
One by one by one by one
One by one by one by one
I was a silent partner for once
And I was split into two sections
Here is my heart and here is my song
There are too many prophets here
I am divided
One by one by one by one
One by one by one by one
Stand on zero
Stacked on zero
I was the silent partner I know
The part of the forest where you shouldn't go
Now out of the woods and out in the day
I see there's too many prophets here
One by one by one by one
Stand on zero
One by one by one by one
Stacked on zero
One by one by one by one
Stand on zero
One by one by one by one
Stacked on zero
One by one by one by one
Myself with the rabble that stood on a mound
Hip shot thinking but not out loud
There are too many prophets here
On the upper side of the sound of the dark
I took it in silence I took it to heart
I carried it quietly over the wall
There were too many prophets there
I was behind it
One by one by one by one
One by one by one by one
Stand by zero
Stacked on zero
One by one by one by one
One by one by one by one
I was a silent partner for once
And I was split into two sections
Here is my heart and here is my song
There are too many prophets here
I am divided
One by one by one by one
One by one by one by one
Stand on zero
Stacked on zero
I was the silent partner I know
The part of the forest where you shouldn't go
Now out of the woods and out in the day
I see there's too many prophets here
One by one by one by one
Stand on zero
One by one by one by one
Stacked on zero
One by one by one by one
Stand on zero
One by one by one by one
Stacked on zero
One by one by one by one

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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”

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“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.
It's about someone who initially was saying not what he believed was correct, but was just going along with the current convention, to not cause trouble.
In the last stanza he's broken free and has the courage to say what he believes, even knowing it may make him feared, hated, or misunderstood (the part of the forrest you shouldn't go).
@DJOctorok: I completely agree with you. When the song started the author was hesistant about his feelings, he was silent partner because he didn't believe in himself.<br /> but by the end he is confident about what he believes in and does not need to tell everyone as other prophets do<br />
