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’ve traveled back from the depths of my soul to find that nothing is as it seems.
I’ll watch the world lose control and fall apart at the seams.
What will be without the great I Am on our side? Our hearts devoured by dreams and as we walk away we are consumed.
I cannot stay silent: we’ve left no room for a savior.
Warnings ring out but we have grown too deaf to hear, too blind to see the coming storm as it draws near.
We cannot be afraid to face the truth: there is blood on our hands and we are moving backwards. How do we justify the things we’ve done?
Though too far gone we say, “wash away all of this. And with your grace, bring me back to you.”
I cannot stay silent: the coming storm will wash us away. How our feet wander, they brought us here where swords are at our throats. We sow wheat but we reap thorns. Forever we will reap thorns until the moment we wake.
It will be too late to dig ourselves out of the grave on our own. Beasts will be called to devour, destroyers will swarm, because in this place our lives are restrained and we can no longer prevail.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
