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.
Hey Juliana, will you give it up and come with me?
I'll drive to California
Will you give it up and come with me?
Cause everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be fine
Time to be a little more dangerous
Cause this is all about tonight
Gotta get out, gotta get out
Gotta get away from here
Wanna get out, wanna get out
Wanna get away from here
And I heard them talking
You feel so lonely
Just come along with me
Come on Juliana
Can you picture getting old with me?
I'll drive to California
Will you give it up and come with me?
Oh it's never gonna be so perfect
Never gonna be so right
Time to be a little more dangerous
Cause this is all about tonight
Gotta get out, gotta get out
Gotta get away from here
Wanna get out, wanna get out
Wanna get away from here
And I heard them talking
You feel so lonely
Just come along with me
(Ooh)
Come on Juliana
(Ooh)
I'll drive to California
(Ooh)
Come on Juliana
(Ooh)
Will you leave it all behind?
So if you hear this message
And you can't erase it
Don't forget to kill the lights
And come along with me tonight
(Gotta get away)
Gotta get out, gotta get out
Gotta get away from here
Wanna get out, wanna get out
Wanna get away from here
And I heard them talking
You feel so lonely
Gotta get out, gotta get out
Gotta get away from here
Wanna get out, wanna get out
Wanna get away from here
And I heard them talking
You feel so lonely
Just come along with me...
I'll drive to California
Will you give it up and come with me?
Cause everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be fine
Time to be a little more dangerous
Cause this is all about tonight
Gotta get out, gotta get out
Gotta get away from here
Wanna get out, wanna get out
Wanna get away from here
And I heard them talking
You feel so lonely
Just come along with me
Come on Juliana
Can you picture getting old with me?
I'll drive to California
Will you give it up and come with me?
Oh it's never gonna be so perfect
Never gonna be so right
Time to be a little more dangerous
Cause this is all about tonight
Gotta get out, gotta get out
Gotta get away from here
Wanna get out, wanna get out
Wanna get away from here
And I heard them talking
You feel so lonely
Just come along with me
(Ooh)
Come on Juliana
(Ooh)
I'll drive to California
(Ooh)
Come on Juliana
(Ooh)
Will you leave it all behind?
So if you hear this message
And you can't erase it
Don't forget to kill the lights
And come along with me tonight
(Gotta get away)
Gotta get out, gotta get out
Gotta get away from here
Wanna get out, wanna get out
Wanna get away from here
And I heard them talking
You feel so lonely
Gotta get out, gotta get out
Gotta get away from here
Wanna get out, wanna get out
Wanna get away from here
And I heard them talking
You feel so lonely
Just come along with me...

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.

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'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
