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.
There is a course in life, so all the teachers say
It calls you day and night, it takes your thoughts away
Under a frozen light you face a long crusade
Where there's a cause you fight, where there's a cost you pay
Find an empty heart, you feel the passion play
It's when reactions start that you can't look away
(Choose) there is no wrong or right, there's just your point of view
But when you face the light then it will come to you
Love is the hero, soldier forever
Life below zero, never say never
Love is the hero
There is no sacrifice, there is no dead-end street
There is no sound advice, only the watch you keep
With every step you take through every room of fear
With every move you make the song will pull you near
Turn you world around and it will come your way
Through your cold-chill nights and in your hard-earned days
When you face the light it may be hard to do
But when it's all too right then it will come to you
Love is the hero, soldier forever
Love is the hero, you live to remember
No path is too steep, no distance too wide
No question too deep, no force can divide
You fortune you seek, the road will unwind
You're comin' to me, to search is to find
And when you start to fall into that frozen space
And when you reach the wall and there's no sunny place
And when it all comes down you make it anyhow, anyway
Love is the hero, soldier forever
Life below zero, never say never (never, never)
Love is the hero, marching forever
Love is the hero, you live to remember
Love is the hero, love is forever
Love is the hero, never say never
Never, oh oh yeah
Love is the hero, hero, miracle
Hero, beautiful (love is a miracle)
It calls you day and night, it takes your thoughts away
Under a frozen light you face a long crusade
Where there's a cause you fight, where there's a cost you pay
Find an empty heart, you feel the passion play
It's when reactions start that you can't look away
(Choose) there is no wrong or right, there's just your point of view
But when you face the light then it will come to you
Love is the hero, soldier forever
Life below zero, never say never
Love is the hero
There is no sacrifice, there is no dead-end street
There is no sound advice, only the watch you keep
With every step you take through every room of fear
With every move you make the song will pull you near
Turn you world around and it will come your way
Through your cold-chill nights and in your hard-earned days
When you face the light it may be hard to do
But when it's all too right then it will come to you
Love is the hero, soldier forever
Love is the hero, you live to remember
No path is too steep, no distance too wide
No question too deep, no force can divide
You fortune you seek, the road will unwind
You're comin' to me, to search is to find
And when you start to fall into that frozen space
And when you reach the wall and there's no sunny place
And when it all comes down you make it anyhow, anyway
Love is the hero, soldier forever
Life below zero, never say never (never, never)
Love is the hero, marching forever
Love is the hero, you live to remember
Love is the hero, love is forever
Love is the hero, never say never
Never, oh oh yeah
Love is the hero, hero, miracle
Hero, beautiful (love is a miracle)

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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron

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"

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.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
