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.
What was the last song you wanted to hear?
Am I singing loud enough to reach your ears?
Regardless if you're six feet underground
Or out haunting the streets of this town
What was the last song you wanted to hear?
(I built up this block)
Am I singing loud enough to reach your ears?
(I couldn't help but hearing you scream, "Death to me")
Regardless if you're six feet underground
Or out haunting the streets of this town
How long will I be waiting around for this unsettling sound?
(Who's hand took your life, time or your's?
To point fingers or place blame has no place anymore)
The screams my ears are hearing
Replace them with a heart beating
Existing in a world that's content with dealing
(Wait it out)
Constant vices supplied for healing
(Wait it out)
Can't find a steady rate of breathing
(Wait it out)
When you can't find purpose, can't see meaning in anything
(Wait it out)
How long will I be waiting around for this unsettling sound?
The screams my ears are hearing
Replace them with a heart beating
Cue the moment when you chose to take your life
(You found the block
And couldn't help but saying this scream, "Death to me")
Talk about some bad advice
Death to me
Existing in a world that's content with dealing
(Wait it out)
Constant vices supplied for healing
(Wait it out)
Can't find a steady rate of breathing
(Wait it out)
When you can't find purpose, can't see meaning in anything
(Wait it out)

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/
Magical

Ed Sheeran
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.
