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.
This night
I never thought it would end
I lie here
Alone
And think of you
Somehow you screamed
You managed to once say to me
How much you really cared
I don't know if you know what that means to me
Just to hear these words
You said you would never run away
You told me that was yesterday
But tonight you have gone away
Don't you know how I cried for this
I'm so hurt, this feeling
I'll never get used to somehow
Today
I woke up with this tear
I looked beside me
There was nothing but fear
Somehow you said
For always you wanted to be with me
Now you are no longer with me
I never cried softly
But hard all the time
Just to cover up
You told me that was yesterday
Tomorrow's another day
Why do I just care so much
It hurts deep inside
And there is no one here to help me
Just to help me
Run away from it all
So fast...
I never could love
I never could leave
I never could feel
Could feel
I never thought it would end
I lie here
Alone
And think of you
Somehow you screamed
You managed to once say to me
How much you really cared
I don't know if you know what that means to me
Just to hear these words
You said you would never run away
You told me that was yesterday
But tonight you have gone away
Don't you know how I cried for this
I'm so hurt, this feeling
I'll never get used to somehow
Today
I woke up with this tear
I looked beside me
There was nothing but fear
Somehow you said
For always you wanted to be with me
Now you are no longer with me
I never cried softly
But hard all the time
Just to cover up
You told me that was yesterday
Tomorrow's another day
Why do I just care so much
It hurts deep inside
And there is no one here to help me
Just to help me
Run away from it all
So fast...
I never could love
I never could leave
I never could feel
Could feel

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
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/
