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.
Sitting with you
Painting my room
I told you I was happy
You say "things are going badly"
But I am unsure
Bring me my hammer, bring me my saw
I'm going to build a boat for you
Bring me my hammer, bring me my saw
I'm going to build a boat, for sure
And sail away
And sail away
Indignation suits you so well
But it builds a wall
When are you going to smile?
Bring me my hammer, bring me my saw
I'm going to build a boat for you
Bring me my hammer, bring me my saw
I'm going to build a boat for you
For you are everything
Painting my room
I told you I was happy
You say "things are going badly"
But I am unsure
Bring me my hammer, bring me my saw
I'm going to build a boat for you
Bring me my hammer, bring me my saw
I'm going to build a boat, for sure
And sail away
And sail away
Indignation suits you so well
But it builds a wall
When are you going to smile?
Bring me my hammer, bring me my saw
I'm going to build a boat for you
Bring me my hammer, bring me my saw
I'm going to build a boat for you
For you are everything

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
