Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Skylines and their cool house of junk
And these techno colored lights to show you up
To show us
Yeah
Oo
You got romance that comes with the money
Sweetness lasts for longer though the taste gets no better
This fusion of heat and breath
Skin and bone clapping
Each other on towards
A lull in the rain
We're just bloated lovers kissing every face
Yeah
Skylines and their cool house of junk
And these techno colored lights to show you up
To show us
You can't get bliss like this
You can't get bliss like this
You can't get bliss like I-I-I-I
So believe, believe
So believe it
She's cute, oh so cold
So why feel this?
You got skylines
You got skylines
You got skylines
Oh, and shelter
Yeah
Oo

The sleeping poison in her eyes says you want some peace
Says you want some peace
Says you want some peace
Want some peace
Yeah
So believe, believe
So believe it
She's cute, oh so cold
So why feel this?
You got skylines
You got skylines
You got skylines
Oh, and shelter

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”

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I think its about being in the city and partying, but the dark side to this. I also think the song hints at taking drugs, ('you can't get bliss like this'), and maybe about prostitution, ('you got romance that comes with the money').
I think that ultimately, its about someone partying/ drinking/ taking drugs to feel happy, and as a form of escapism, but slowly it begins to feel like they're trapped.
