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.
Sometimes I think I welcome in
what you are frightened of.
My thoughts become undisciplined
And then I slip away.
It is effortless.
Effortless.
In the glow along the barren road
I see you shivering
My heart begins to separate
From the signs that would bury our lives
With an insolence. (Once beats and the light is close, close.)
Insolence.
Effortless ranging and diving. (Once beats and the light is close, close.)
Effortless as fire.
Oh, child.
Where were you?
Where were you all your life?
All your life inside a chrysalis writhing?
And it's real.
It's real.
Joy is real.
One more time.
It's real.
Joy is real.
Joy is real.
One more time.
It's real.
Joy, it's so real.
what you are frightened of.
My thoughts become undisciplined
And then I slip away.
It is effortless.
Effortless.
In the glow along the barren road
I see you shivering
My heart begins to separate
From the signs that would bury our lives
With an insolence. (Once beats and the light is close, close.)
Insolence.
Effortless ranging and diving. (Once beats and the light is close, close.)
Effortless as fire.
Oh, child.
Where were you?
Where were you all your life?
All your life inside a chrysalis writhing?
And it's real.
It's real.
Joy is real.
One more time.
It's real.
Joy is real.
Joy is real.
One more time.
It's real.
Joy, it's so real.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Ed Sheeran
“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.
The coda quotes Buffy St. Marie's Cod'ine.
