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've had it up to here with this
You're always calling
Girl, you're just tripping
No, I'm just falling
Over and over again
This change of heart is just
Is just a means to an end
This conversation just went dry
I know I'm crazy, I think I'm done wondering why
You know what you need to say
I haven't found a melody yet
A melody yet, a melody
All this time
We've been crossing off days
On the calendar pages
And all this time
Has been wasted, I'm wasted
Just thinking that this is the end
I've had it up to here with this shit
I'm always calling
Couldn't you just call someone else?
I bet you think it's funny how my voice stands out
When I'm talking to myself
You just keep pushing me farther and farther away
If you were never here
I'd bet you'd like it better that way
There's really nothing left to say
To me
This conversation just went dry
I know I'm crazy, I think I'm done wondering why
This conversation
I know I'm not a memory yet
A memory yet, a memory
All this time
We've been crossing off days
On the calendar pages
And all this time
Has been wasted, I'm wasted
Just thinking that this is the end
Come on now
Won't you come around baby?
Oh we can work it out
But I think I know better than that
This time you're just a pretty face
And you're just a line in a song
This was all wasted
Come on, just face it
This was all wasted
Come on, just face it
Oh let it go
This conversation just went dry
I know I'm crazy, I think I'm done wondering why
This conversation just went dry
I'm not a memory yet,a memory yet
A memory
All this time
We've been crossing off days
On the calendar pages
And all this time
Has been wasted, I'm wasted
And this is the end
All this time
We've been crossing off days
On the calendar pages
And all this time
Has been wasted, I'm wasted
Just thinking that this is the end
Come on now
Won't you come around baby?
Oh we can work it out
But I think I know better than that
This time you're just a pretty face
And you're just a line in a song
And you're just a line in a song
And you're just a line in a song
You're always calling

No, I'm just falling

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“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.
Hahaha, who is responsible for this sad lyric-work?!?! The opening sounds like Anberlin- yikes! Copy cats! Hah, nah these guys are aight!
It's actually the chorus, not the opening.
