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.
Ooh there's no place that you can go
You think you can run but I don't know
Ooh where you're gonna go
You think you can run but
I don't know
They don't wanna hear about it
What's going on in your head
Don't you even care about it
You'll be somewhere else instead
You don't even talk about it
What's going on in the street
You don't spare a single thought about it
When the world is at your feet
Ooh there's no place that you can go
You think you can run but I don't know
Ooh where you're gonna go
You think you can run but
I don't know
You make me wanna shout about it
I'll tell you how I feel
There can't be any doubt about it
I know that this is real
Can't make myself forget about it
The way you seem to do
There's only one regret about it
I can't get through to you
Ooh there's no place that you can go
You think you can run but I don't know
Ooh where you're gonna go
You think you can run but
I don't know
Don't really wanna think about it
I can't fuck wearing my
By not doing what we ought about it
Things just stay the same
Always knew you were mad about it
Don't think Christ ain't too
But now I'm feeling sad about it
Nothing I can do
Ooh there's no place that you can go
You think you can run but I don't know
Ooh where you're gonna go
You think you can run but
I don't know
You think you can run but I don't know
You think you can run but I don't know
Ooh where you're gonna go
You think you can run but
I don't know
They don't wanna hear about it
What's going on in your head
Don't you even care about it
You'll be somewhere else instead
You don't even talk about it
What's going on in the street
You don't spare a single thought about it
When the world is at your feet
Ooh there's no place that you can go
You think you can run but I don't know
Ooh where you're gonna go
You think you can run but
I don't know
You make me wanna shout about it
I'll tell you how I feel
There can't be any doubt about it
I know that this is real
Can't make myself forget about it
The way you seem to do
There's only one regret about it
I can't get through to you
Ooh there's no place that you can go
You think you can run but I don't know
Ooh where you're gonna go
You think you can run but
I don't know
Don't really wanna think about it
I can't fuck wearing my
By not doing what we ought about it
Things just stay the same
Always knew you were mad about it
Don't think Christ ain't too
But now I'm feeling sad about it
Nothing I can do
Ooh there's no place that you can go
You think you can run but I don't know
Ooh where you're gonna go
You think you can run but
I don't know
You think you can run but I don't know

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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”
This song is about and sung to Joe Strummer. It's Mick Jones reflecting back on his time with The Clash. At the start of the 3rd verse (just as the vocal gets the heavy FX) the "Ooh" is clearly replaced by "Joe". "You think you can run" is a reference to Joe Strummers running marathon's + disapearances (as well as a metaphor for him trying to escape from various issues). It's an angry song but it's also full of regret "There's only one regret I can't get through to you".
