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.
I rode in to Nashville
On the bus from Knoxville
I know I shouldn't
I just couldn't wait
I just had to see you
To get something straight
Livin' in a house
No life, no place (?)
Sittin' in the bathtub
Hot water on my face
Not long here
A friend came down with me
I came to see about you
He came to see what he could see
And I hope I haven't come
All this way just to see
Waited all this time
Just to lose
Glad to see you
Glad you came
Voice sounds different
She still looks the same
I have grown some
In a place or two
A little extra
Always looked good on you
And I hope I haven't come
All this way just to see
Waited all this time
Just to lose
These dreams of losing you
Oh, don't let them come true
These I had of you
I had forgotten them
But I still remember
You
On the bus from Knoxville
I know I shouldn't
I just couldn't wait
I just had to see you
To get something straight
Livin' in a house
No life, no place (?)
Sittin' in the bathtub
Hot water on my face
Not long here
A friend came down with me
I came to see about you
He came to see what he could see
And I hope I haven't come
All this way just to see
Waited all this time
Just to lose
Glad to see you
Glad you came
Voice sounds different
She still looks the same
I have grown some
In a place or two
A little extra
Always looked good on you
And I hope I haven't come
All this way just to see
Waited all this time
Just to lose
These dreams of losing you
Oh, don't let them come true
These I had of you
I had forgotten them
But I still remember
You

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.

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.
