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.
When I came to pick you up
The color of my eyes blazed
Telling all the mistakes
Once again I made
You knew instantly
So disappointed
Fell without warning
Taking me forever to accept this weakness
That I've been defeated
I need help, I need you
For I have lost control and can't be trusted
If I won't stop for you, I won't stop for myself
Give you all my love
But it's not enough
I'll do better, I'll do better, I swear I'll do better
Give you all my love
But it's not enough
I'll do better, I'll do better
Cause you, you're losing faith in me
It's frightening to think that
Concious that I had somehow slipped away
I couldn't feel a thing
Devil's made a new friend
But we get closer every day
Taking me forever to accept this weakness
That I've been defeated
I need help, I need you
Cause I have lost control and can't be trusted
If I won't stop for you, I won't stop for myself
Give you all my love
But it's not enough
I'll do better, I'll do better, I swear I'll do better
Give you all my love
But it's not enough
I'll do better, I'll do better
And I want more than anything to prove
That I am the one, the one for you
And I want more than anything to prove
That I am the one, the one for you
Oh you
Give you all my love
But it's not enough
I'll do better, I'll do better, I swear I'll do better
Give you all my love
But it's not enough
I'll do better, I'll do better, I swear...
Taking me forever to accept this weakness
That I've been defeated
I need help, I need you
Cause I have lost control and can't be trusted
If I won't stop for you, I won't stop for myself
Give you all my love
But it's not enough
I'll do better, I'll do better, I swear I will
I'll do better, I swear I will
And I'll do better
The color of my eyes blazed
Telling all the mistakes
Once again I made
You knew instantly
So disappointed
Fell without warning
Taking me forever to accept this weakness
That I've been defeated
I need help, I need you
For I have lost control and can't be trusted
If I won't stop for you, I won't stop for myself
Give you all my love
But it's not enough
I'll do better, I'll do better, I swear I'll do better
Give you all my love
But it's not enough
I'll do better, I'll do better
Cause you, you're losing faith in me
It's frightening to think that
Concious that I had somehow slipped away
I couldn't feel a thing
Devil's made a new friend
But we get closer every day
Taking me forever to accept this weakness
That I've been defeated
I need help, I need you
Cause I have lost control and can't be trusted
If I won't stop for you, I won't stop for myself
Give you all my love
But it's not enough
I'll do better, I'll do better, I swear I'll do better
Give you all my love
But it's not enough
I'll do better, I'll do better
And I want more than anything to prove
That I am the one, the one for you
And I want more than anything to prove
That I am the one, the one for you
Oh you
Give you all my love
But it's not enough
I'll do better, I'll do better, I swear I'll do better
Give you all my love
But it's not enough
I'll do better, I'll do better, I swear...
Taking me forever to accept this weakness
That I've been defeated
I need help, I need you
Cause I have lost control and can't be trusted
If I won't stop for you, I won't stop for myself
Give you all my love
But it's not enough
I'll do better, I'll do better, I swear I will
I'll do better, I swear I will
And I'll do better

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
i adore this song
