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.
Reading the paper saw a review
Said I was a visionary, but nobody knew
Now that's been a problem
Feeling unseen
Just like I'm living somebody's dream
What am I doing anyway
Telling myself it's not too late
I'm not a young man but I'm a child in
My soul
I feel there's room for a man who
Is whole
And there's a need for songs that
Are sung
For chances not taken for deeds not
Yet done
What am I doing anyway
Telling myself it's not too late
My children look away they don't know
What to say
My children look away they don't know
What to say
So that's been a problem
Feeling unheard
So called visions always deferred
It must be the reason I developed
This need
You know you should never believe
What you read
What am I doing anyway
Telling myself it's not too late
My children look away they don't know
What to say
My children look away they don't know
What to say
Said I was a visionary, but nobody knew
Now that's been a problem
Feeling unseen
Just like I'm living somebody's dream
What am I doing anyway
Telling myself it's not too late
I'm not a young man but I'm a child in
My soul
I feel there's room for a man who
Is whole
And there's a need for songs that
Are sung
For chances not taken for deeds not
Yet done
What am I doing anyway
Telling myself it's not too late
My children look away they don't know
What to say
My children look away they don't know
What to say
So that's been a problem
Feeling unheard
So called visions always deferred
It must be the reason I developed
This need
You know you should never believe
What you read
What am I doing anyway
Telling myself it's not too late
My children look away they don't know
What to say
My children look away they don't know
What to say

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.

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
