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 danger in the fields of rape
Not too far from where you walk
There is danger on the path you take
Too late, you've gone too far
There's meaning in these words of hate
Hidden, yet to find
There's children behind an iron gate
Hiding swollen eyes
Change these fields of rape
Wash them away like the morning rain on your face
We gotta change these fields of rape
Take me away from the burning pain of this place
There is hunting in the fields of rape
And we've become the game
There is running in the fields of rape
Abolish all mankind
There is crying on the African soil
And life is hard to keep
There is dying in a Bosnian town
A girl of just sixteen
Change these fields of rape
Wash them away like the morning rain on your face
We gotta change these fields of rape
Take me away from the burning pain of this place
There is danger in the fields of rape
Not too far from where you walk
There is danger on the path you take
Too late, you've gone too far
There's meaning in these words of hate
Hidden, yet to find
There's children behind an iron gate
Hiding swollen eyes
We gotta change these fields of rape
Wash them away like the morning rain on your face
We gotta change these fields of rape
Take me away from the burning pain of this place
We gotta change these fields of rape
Change these fields of rape
We gotta change these fields of rape
We gotta change these fields of rape
Not too far from where you walk
There is danger on the path you take
Too late, you've gone too far
There's meaning in these words of hate
Hidden, yet to find
There's children behind an iron gate
Hiding swollen eyes
Change these fields of rape
Wash them away like the morning rain on your face
We gotta change these fields of rape
Take me away from the burning pain of this place
There is hunting in the fields of rape
And we've become the game
There is running in the fields of rape
Abolish all mankind
There is crying on the African soil
And life is hard to keep
There is dying in a Bosnian town
A girl of just sixteen
Change these fields of rape
Wash them away like the morning rain on your face
We gotta change these fields of rape
Take me away from the burning pain of this place
There is danger in the fields of rape
Not too far from where you walk
There is danger on the path you take
Too late, you've gone too far
There's meaning in these words of hate
Hidden, yet to find
There's children behind an iron gate
Hiding swollen eyes
We gotta change these fields of rape
Wash them away like the morning rain on your face
We gotta change these fields of rape
Take me away from the burning pain of this place
We gotta change these fields of rape
Change these fields of rape
We gotta change these fields of rape
We gotta change these fields of rape

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”
