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.
She shot you down like an animal
Give it up, Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Wanna live your life like a Romeo
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Hush, don't you cry
Live and let die
Spread out your wings and fly
Try to keep your feet on the patio
Give it up, Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Wanna show Perrineau your Mercutio
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Hush, don't you cry
Live and let die
Spread out your wings and fly
Cause the strong shall thrive
While the weak will all perish
Only those fit survive
You gotta live by the game
You gotta live by the rules
You gotta know your means and your moves
You gotta keep up your guard
You gotta hit quick and hard
You gotta know when to hold or fold your cards
We'll hook you up with an enema
Give it up
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And don't stop till you get enough
Give it up, Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Wanna live your life like a Romeo
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Hush, don't you cry
Live and let die
Spread out your wings and fly
Try to keep your feet on the patio
Give it up, Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Wanna show Perrineau your Mercutio
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Hush, don't you cry
Live and let die
Spread out your wings and fly
Cause the strong shall thrive
While the weak will all perish
Only those fit survive
You gotta live by the game
You gotta live by the rules
You gotta know your means and your moves
You gotta keep up your guard
You gotta hit quick and hard
You gotta know when to hold or fold your cards
We'll hook you up with an enema
Give it up
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And don't stop till you get enough

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
