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.
The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me? I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make 'em turn their heads every place we go
So won't you, please? (Be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby (My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin' (Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now (My one and only baby) whoa oh oh oh
I'll make you happy, baby, just wait and see
For every kiss you give me, I'll give you three
Oh, since the day I saw you, I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you 'til eternity
So come on and please (Be my, be my baby)
Won't you be my little baby (My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin' (Be my, be my baby)
Come on be my baby now (My one and only baby) whoa oh oh oh
Oh, since the day I saw you, I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you 'til eternity
So come on and please (Be my, be my baby)
Oh won't you be my little baby (My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin' (Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now (My one and only baby) whoa oh oh oh
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby (My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin' (Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now (My one and only baby) whoa oh oh oh
(Be my, be my baby)
Oh won't you be my little baby (My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin' (Be my, be my baby)
Darlin' be my baby now (My one and only baby) whoa oh oh oh
(Be my, be my baby)
(My one and only baby)
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me? I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make 'em turn their heads every place we go
So won't you, please? (Be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby (My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin' (Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now (My one and only baby) whoa oh oh oh
I'll make you happy, baby, just wait and see
For every kiss you give me, I'll give you three
Oh, since the day I saw you, I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you 'til eternity
So come on and please (Be my, be my baby)
Won't you be my little baby (My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin' (Be my, be my baby)
Come on be my baby now (My one and only baby) whoa oh oh oh
Oh, since the day I saw you, I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you 'til eternity
So come on and please (Be my, be my baby)
Oh won't you be my little baby (My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin' (Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now (My one and only baby) whoa oh oh oh
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby (My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin' (Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now (My one and only baby) whoa oh oh oh
(Be my, be my baby)
Oh won't you be my little baby (My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin' (Be my, be my baby)
Darlin' be my baby now (My one and only baby) whoa oh oh oh

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.

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.
