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.
Love, are you nuts?
Some people can't tell when it hits them!
All you gotta do is say hello to a man
And they've got you whispering in his ear
All you gotta do it seems is work for him
And they've got you going beserk for him
If there's a guy you merely have a bicker with
They've got you setting the wedding date
It seems they've just gotta have some dirt
To bend your ear with
So before you start, I herewith state
I'm not at all in love, not at all in love, not I
Not a bit, not a mite
Though I'll admit he's quite a hunk o' guy
But he's not my cup o' tea, not my cup o' tea, not he
Not an ounce, not a pinch
He's just an inch too sure of himself for me
Well of course you've noticed his manly physique and that look in his eyes
Say, I'm sure he can cut most any man down to size
He must he as fierce as a tiger when he's mad
And I'll bet he cries like a little boy when he's sad
But I'm not at all in love, not at all in love, not I
Not a straw, not a hair
I don't care if he's as strong as a lion
Or if he has the rest of ya sighin'
You may be sold, but this girl ain't buyin'
I'm not at all in love!
She's not at all in love, not at all in love, oh no
Not a pin, not a crumb
Must be the summer heat that gives her that glow
'Cos she's not at all in love, not at all in love, she cries
Not a snip, not a bite
Must be the light from the ceiling shining there in her eyes
He's young and handsome, and smart, and we can't get over it
But this lady's heart he doesn't effect a bit
It's easy to see that her daffy grin is the grin she always wears
And she's breathless because she ran up a flight of stairs
Obviously!
Naturally!
Definitely!
Obviously!
Naturally!
Definitely!
Hah!
She's not at all in love, not at all in love, not she
No, I'm not!
Not a dot
Not a touch
No, not much
When I fall in love, there will be no doubt about it
'Cos you will know from the way that I shout it
Your shouting
I haven't fallen
She hasn't fallen
I'm not at all in love!
She's not at all in love!
Some people can't tell when it hits them!
All you gotta do is say hello to a man
And they've got you whispering in his ear
All you gotta do it seems is work for him
And they've got you going beserk for him

They've got you setting the wedding date
It seems they've just gotta have some dirt

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
Magical

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.
