Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
When it happened
Something snapped inside
Made me want to hide
All alone on my own
All alone on my own
I stood up on the stand with my eyes shut tight
Didn't want to see anybody
Feeling happy, having a good time
Now, hey, doing alright, doing alright
Doing alright, doing alright
Danced hard into the dancing crowd
Felt like screaming out loud
I saw you standing there
I saw your long, saw your long hair
Opened up my eyes, baby
You made me realize all I want to do now
All I want to do now, girl
Is look at you, looking at you, baby
I look at you, looking at you, baby
Yeah, hey
Danced hard into the dancing crowd
I felt like screaming out loud
All I wanna do, all I wanna do
All I want to do
Is look at you, looking at you, baby
I look at you, looking at you, baby
Looking at you, I'm looking at you
I'm looking at you, baby
You baby, you baby, you baby, yeah
Something snapped inside
Made me want to hide
All alone on my own
All alone on my own
I stood up on the stand with my eyes shut tight
Didn't want to see anybody
Feeling happy, having a good time
Now, hey, doing alright, doing alright
Doing alright, doing alright
Danced hard into the dancing crowd
Felt like screaming out loud
I saw you standing there
I saw your long, saw your long hair
Opened up my eyes, baby
You made me realize all I want to do now
All I want to do now, girl
Is look at you, looking at you, baby
I look at you, looking at you, baby
Yeah, hey
Danced hard into the dancing crowd
I felt like screaming out loud
All I wanna do, all I wanna do
All I want to do
Is look at you, looking at you, baby
I look at you, looking at you, baby
Looking at you, I'm looking at you
I'm looking at you, baby
You baby, you baby, you baby, yeah

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.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
