He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Tired out, not a miracle in days
Oh, yeah
Deciders for the lonely
Whispering tears
You try out for nothing then you drop dead
Not a miracle in years
No leisure for the lonely
Whispering unnecessary unless you're in
Die and succeed
I say it out loud but you just don't care
Farewell-well-well-well-well, till you know me well
Farewell-well-well-well-well, till you know me well
Girlfriend
We are far from home, I am with you now
I am longing you, I am longing us two
Who bought a miracle sells these fortune tears
December's death or glory, how you want it?
No, not a miracle in years
Deciders for the lonely
Wishing death-death-death, wishes death-death-death unless
Die and succeed
I say it out loud but she just don't care
Farewell-well-well-well-well, till you know me well
Farewell-well-well-well-well, till you know me well
Girlfriend
Die and succeed

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.
i agree. "die and succeed" is talking about sexual climax. 'La petite mort', French for "the little death", is a metaphor for orgasm.
