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.
How come a man can fight and cuss and smoke and drink and chew
Step out on their wives and do the things they shouldn't do
But it's all right in the public's eye they say he's just a man
But if a woman does one little thing she's not worth a
Two whoops and a holler she's lower than a hound
If she drinks or smokes or tells a joke she's a lowest thing in town
A woman has to dress the kids and send them off to school
And do her best in every way to live the golden rule
The responsibility she has is much more than a man
But if she does one little thing she's not worth a
Two woops and a holler...
If all the gals would stick by me we'd change the world around
We'd make the men walk on their knees and sleep out on the ground
What I'm really tryin' to say and I know you'll understand
The women ought to rule the world cause the men ain't worth a
Two woops and a holler they're lower than a hound
I hope they croak it ain't no joke they're the lowest thing in town
They're the lowest thing in town
Step out on their wives and do the things they shouldn't do
But it's all right in the public's eye they say he's just a man
But if a woman does one little thing she's not worth a
Two whoops and a holler she's lower than a hound
If she drinks or smokes or tells a joke she's a lowest thing in town
A woman has to dress the kids and send them off to school
And do her best in every way to live the golden rule
The responsibility she has is much more than a man
But if she does one little thing she's not worth a
Two woops and a holler...
If all the gals would stick by me we'd change the world around
We'd make the men walk on their knees and sleep out on the ground
What I'm really tryin' to say and I know you'll understand
The women ought to rule the world cause the men ain't worth a
Two woops and a holler they're lower than a hound
I hope they croak it ain't no joke they're the lowest thing in town
They're the lowest thing in town

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”

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
