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.

Give it up too much
Give it up

Give it up too much
Give it up

We're waiting for the universe
We're waiting for the light to lead the way
Creating what we can't reverse
Nothing will ever be the same again
You had it all, you had it all
You lost control and let it go again
We're waiting for the universe to end
You much too strong for me
And I can't hold your hand like I used to
You much too hard for me
And I can't change your heart like I used to
And all that's let to say to you
It's to smile when the lights are on
This never was enough for you
Now we both know where we belong
Give it up too much
Give it up
I've never given this much to another, no, not to another lover
Give it up too much
Give it up
I've never given so much, never given so much, so much
We're waiting for the universe
We're waiting for the light to lead the way
Creating what we can't reverse
Nothing will ever be the same again
You had it all, you had it all
You lost control and let it go again
We're waiting for the universe to end
Goodbye, good night my love
Goodbye my love

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.

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