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.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Rolling dice can help you or hurt you; your virtue
Is known when you quit cause you've hit your cash curfew
Even if you have to get swift and swindle
It's as long as you with, so close you're simple
I see people rolling dice with lives
Telling lies and cutting close like knives
For a sandwich and selter, so probablt sell the
Clothes on they man's back for fame and wealth or
Go with the next man's girl and hit the skins
Get in his face and say "Yo, we're best friends"
Scared of a tattle, because his tail shake like a rattle
And then he'll kiss behind like a saddle
That'll be the reason why you'll bleed and grieve
Ready to diss your own brother at breakneck speed
You roll the dice reall fast to get nice
But gotta be more precise
Cause I keep looking, and you'll keep scheming
I'll start hooking, and you'll be screaming
Starting to tries in an alibi
Cause you keep rolling snake eyes
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
The person you least expect to slit your neck
Nine times out of every ten crimes is the prime suspect
It doesn't feel good, when you can't trust blood
And your neighbor's the neighborhood hood
Plotting the cut neck scam
You sleeping in the end, you get swept cause you slept
Yeah, the dice get blown on so step back
Snakes attack and move as fast as a Cadillac
But if found in my circumference
The next day you'll pay to get your fronts fixed
Rolling 11 is the opposite of heaven
It's craps, so start revving to make tracks
Once a snake, you stay a snake
When you're small you took cookies, but now you take the cake
And talk behind backs, and switch facts
And tax, and probably smoke cracks
Cause one minute my crib you're all in it
The next day you want to play self centered?
Just because you're in with the fake guys
And you keep rolling snake eyes
Yeah...
I watch people roll dice in the jungle of concrete
With venom, corrodes the streets
Where girls get foul on their guys, why? (They're rolling snake eyes!)
Where the guys get foul on their wives, why? (They're rolling snake eyes!)
False producers are telling lies, why? (They're rolling snake eyes!)
Policemen are taking bribes, why? (They're rolling snake eyes!)
So here's the solution to the problem that lies ahead:
Shoot a motherfucking snake dead
For rolling snake eyes
Rolling dice can help you or hurt you; your virtue
Is known when you quit cause you've hit your cash curfew
Even if you have to get swift and swindle
It's as long as you with, so close you're simple
I see people rolling dice with lives
Telling lies and cutting close like knives
For a sandwich and selter, so probablt sell the
Clothes on they man's back for fame and wealth or
Go with the next man's girl and hit the skins
Get in his face and say "Yo, we're best friends"
Scared of a tattle, because his tail shake like a rattle
And then he'll kiss behind like a saddle
That'll be the reason why you'll bleed and grieve
Ready to diss your own brother at breakneck speed
You roll the dice reall fast to get nice
But gotta be more precise
Cause I keep looking, and you'll keep scheming
I'll start hooking, and you'll be screaming

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.

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.
