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.
Far from me
I hold myself
Upon this ground
Only time will tell
Or whether it will
Just stand still
Leave me, and leave me
It's a trap of shame
When time and age
Leave a taste
And faced with this
I'll think I'll miss the part of it
That makes it click
And it seems to me
Like you always seem to be
Far from me
I've lost it all
I've lost your face
Only time will tell
Or whether it will
Just stand still
Leave me, and leave me
It's a trap of shame
When time and age
Leave a taste
And faced with this
I'll think I'll miss the part of it
That makes it fit
I hold myself
Upon this ground
Only time will tell
Or whether it will
Just stand still
Leave me, and leave me
It's a trap of shame
When time and age
Leave a taste
And faced with this
I'll think I'll miss the part of it
That makes it click
And it seems to me
Like you always seem to be
Far from me
I've lost it all
I've lost your face
Only time will tell
Or whether it will
Just stand still
Leave me, and leave me
It's a trap of shame
When time and age
Leave a taste
And faced with this
I'll think I'll miss the part of it
That makes it fit

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.

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
