I thought I'd be fine, living without you
'Cause you wanted something that I couldn't give
But if I'd known then what I'd go through
Then every time I close my eyes
I see your face and realize

'Cause I should've never let you go
And I feel it still burning in my soul
There's no deeper pain
Knowing every day
That I'm never going to get you back
And I'm still living with that regret
Every night in this bed on my own
I never should have let you go

You walked away and I still can't blame you
I know that you found what you needed in me
Somebody else I hang on to
The memories I've lost
Is all that's left here because

'Cause I should've never let you go
And I feel it still burning in my soul
There's no deeper pain
Knowing every day
That I'm never going to get you back
And I'm still living with that regret
Every night in this bed on my own
I never should have let you go

And it's hell knowing what I've lost
And that day I pay the cost
I'll wake up and realize that you are gone

I never should've let you go
And I feel it still burning in my soul
There's no deeper pain
Knowing every day
That I'm never going to get you back
And I'm still living with that regret
Every night in this bed on my own
I never should have let you go

I never should have let you go, yeah
No I never, never, never, never should have let you go

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”

Silent Planet
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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
