The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
all i have is love
all i have is love
all i have is love
all i have is love
love is all i have
every single day
deep within my heart
love is all that lays.
love is all i have
though you've gone away
still i bring you love
still no love you take
but still love all is i
all is love i have
though no take you love
take is all i ask
love is all i have and
all i have is love
i got it from
from no god above
...but from his Love.
all i have is love
love is all i have
though you never call
though you never asked
for me to give you love
and to leave it there
forever, for you to take
all that you dare.
all that i dared
was to give you love
which, it turns out, is a lot harder
than i ever suspected.
and i guess you can't take it.
i guess you can't take it yet.
and until you do,
or if you never do,
if you never do,
or until you do,
or if you never do,
or until you do
i will give you love
cause all i have is love
love is all i have
(when you're gone)
love is all i have
(when you're gone)
you take away the rest
but i have my love
and i'll pass it along
if you can feel it comin'
in the air while you're runnin'...
surely i'm lovin'...
...so you can feel my love.
all i have is love
all i have is love
all i have is love
love is all i have
every single day
deep within my heart
love is all that lays.
love is all i have
though you've gone away
still i bring you love
still no love you take
but still love all is i
all is love i have
though no take you love
take is all i ask
love is all i have and
all i have is love
i got it from
from no god above
...but from his Love.
all i have is love
love is all i have

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

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.

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.
