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.
Life is never what you think
Give a sentimental wink
There ya go you don't know what's instore
But you felt it before
Hey I'm warmin' up to your insides
I don't worry cause I got no ties
Not a guy not a girl not a thing
Not a thing in this world
Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me
Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me
Hey baby did ya ever feel like being crazy
The borderlines are getting hazy
Rules are what we forgot you're a blaze
Leave them reeling for days
Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me
Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me
We'll have lots of fun let out emotions run
Nothing tonite is gonna get us down
We'll have lots of thunder let our emotions run
They go round and round and round round
Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me
Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me
Give a sentimental wink
There ya go you don't know what's instore
But you felt it before
Hey I'm warmin' up to your insides
I don't worry cause I got no ties
Not a guy not a girl not a thing
Not a thing in this world
Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me
Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me
Hey baby did ya ever feel like being crazy
The borderlines are getting hazy
Rules are what we forgot you're a blaze
Leave them reeling for days
Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me
Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me
We'll have lots of fun let out emotions run
Nothing tonite is gonna get us down
We'll have lots of thunder let our emotions run
They go round and round and round round
Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me
Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me

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.

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
