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.
I thought I'd write to you and let you know that I'm still dramatic and sixteen
I thought I'd call you and tell you that I'm still miserable without you
I thought I could find you at the bottom of a plastic cup
But like we both knew, nothing ever helps the swelling inside our chests
There's nothing left
Now we visit our love like a long, lost monument; forever forgotten
Part of me won't finish this story
I'm holding on but you won't hold on for me
Face down, complacent eyes
Finding a place to die
I'm not who I was, and I think I'm proud of that
But, in a few more months, will I still say the same thing?
When I'm at my worst, you seem to be at your best
And I can't put this into words, but I'm so glad you never wrote back

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/
