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.
Caught up, flesh be warned
I have just begun to pull this thorn
of needing, and want
Here in these woods I will become undone
Come to – find the place
Where your heart can rest from this race
Of breathing in and out
There you can mend your ways
With no doubt
Wait ’til our bones are older,
Our stones to reach the sky
Yet still our walls are growing
Into the Atlantic Ocean
Outstretched on my own
I have only begun to see blood
Move through all my veins
Here in my heart I will remain the same
Wait ’til our bones are older,
Our stones to reach the sky
Until our hearts are open
Thanks to the Atlantic Ocean
With Grace I’ll go
With Faith I’ll know
It’s in your heart
It’s in your mind
And you were right
Right, right
I have just begun to pull this thorn
of needing, and want
Here in these woods I will become undone
Come to – find the place
Where your heart can rest from this race
Of breathing in and out
There you can mend your ways
With no doubt
Wait ’til our bones are older,
Our stones to reach the sky
Yet still our walls are growing
Into the Atlantic Ocean
Outstretched on my own
I have only begun to see blood
Move through all my veins
Here in my heart I will remain the same
Wait ’til our bones are older,
Our stones to reach the sky
Until our hearts are open
Thanks to the Atlantic Ocean
With Grace I’ll go
With Faith I’ll know
It’s in your heart
It’s in your mind
And you were right
Right, right

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.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Phenomenal song. Tiffany's voice is perfect. My favorite on the new "In Light" album.
