Just when you’ve finally forgotten you’re alive / your light (?)
That’s exactly when they send you back
It comes together only to fall apart
You’ll start again
You’ll start over
For the others always only on the other side
What makes a side?
What makes another?
And in Switzerland the orange trees
Go by the sea
Or are they lakes?
But for the sake of the sunny mountainside that sits
Across the water body
From the mountain in the shade
And the baby bathers push me mountains (?)
For the valley it sends all swimming
We’re reeling yes we’re spinning
But importantly, together together together oh
But importantly, together together together oh
Things that are still
Sometimes appear to move
Things that are still
Sometimes they appear to move

Techno Ted

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 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.
