It's alright forty days of rain
My skin stretched out from the growing pain
It'd be nice to have an explanation
But it's alright

And it's alright if you hate that way
Hate me 'cause I'm different
You hate me 'cause I'm gay
Truth of the matter come around one day
It's alright

I look at this lifeline stretched way all across my hand
I look at the burned out empty like a plague across the land
And for everything I learn there are two I don't understand
That's while I'm still on a search
Through the weather strewn church
I'm doing the best that I can
And it's alright

And it's alright though we worry and fuss (alright)
We can't get over the hump or get over us (we can't get over us)
It seems easier to push than to let go and trust (alright)
But it's alright

When we get a little distant some things get clearer
Yeah give 'em the space some hearts grow nearer
I ran as hard as I could I still ended up here
And it's alright

As I look at this lifeline stretched way all across my hand (lifeline all across my hand)
I look at the fires of hatred (fire)
Burning up the bounty of this beautiful land (burning up the land)
I know that I'm small in a way but I know I'm strong
And it's my thirst that brought me to the water
Well I give it all up then she carries me on
It's alright

Yeah

And it's alright if I feel afraid
My plans in pieces
My plans mislaid
It's the will of the way (the will of the way)
The will of the way (it's the will of the way)
The will of the only way that could have brought me here today
And it's alright

And it's alright

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.

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”

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.
