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.
Close your eyes and shield your ears.
Shut your mouth and conceal all your fears.
Greed it’s not going anywhere.
They should put that on a billboard in Times Square
It could say “The great depression is over my friends.”
What we want and what we need engineered.
I can smell the bullshit right from here.
Because greed it’s not going anywhere.
They should put that on a billboard in Times Square
It could say “The great depression is over my friends.”
Blinding your eyes, burning your ears.
T.V. images are selling.
Through the static on the radio you can’t hear.
One pill if you’re too big
One pill if you’re too small
On one your life is a mess.
On one you’re nothing at all.
I hate a song that makes you think you are no good.
I hate a song that makes you think you are just born to lose.
Bound to lose.
No good to nobody.
Too young or too fat or too this or too that.
(The great depression is over my friends)
The great depression is over my friends
Shut your mouth and conceal all your fears.
Greed it’s not going anywhere.
They should put that on a billboard in Times Square
It could say “The great depression is over my friends.”
What we want and what we need engineered.
I can smell the bullshit right from here.
Because greed it’s not going anywhere.
They should put that on a billboard in Times Square
It could say “The great depression is over my friends.”
Blinding your eyes, burning your ears.
T.V. images are selling.
Through the static on the radio you can’t hear.
One pill if you’re too big
One pill if you’re too small
On one your life is a mess.
On one you’re nothing at all.
I hate a song that makes you think you are no good.
I hate a song that makes you think you are just born to lose.
Bound to lose.
No good to nobody.
Too young or too fat or too this or too that.
(The great depression is over my friends)
The great depression is over my friends

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

“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.

I hate a song that makes you think you are just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. Too young or too fat or too this or too that.
