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 feel a hole in the pit of my stomach
The ticking clock screams, "Time is running out"
I always say I tried to live in the present
But the future's about to slap me in the face
So can you please take my hand and promise you won't let go?
I'm afraid of what lies ahead
I can't do this alone
And believe me when I say I'll never stop loving you
Because darling, I'm scared of the future too
It's like I've come to the end of a good book
I can't bring myself to finish the last few pages
Cause once I read them, the story is over
And something's missing from my life
So can you please take my hand and promise you won't let go?
I'm afraid of what lies ahead
I can't do this alone
And believe me when I say I'll never stop loving you
Because darling, I'm scared of the future too
I fear regret
I don't want the what ifs looming
My ghost from the past haunting the future me
So if you're willing to stand by me through it all
I'm not saying goodbye to you
My friendships will dwindle as we go our ways
There will be an emptiness I feel as they leave
If you'll trust me, the job will then be yours to sew together the gaps
So can you please take my hand and promise you won't let go?
I'm afraid of what lies ahead
I can't do this alone
And believe me when I say I'll never stop loving you
Because darling, I'm scared of the future too
The ticking clock screams, "Time is running out"
I always say I tried to live in the present
But the future's about to slap me in the face
So can you please take my hand and promise you won't let go?
I'm afraid of what lies ahead
I can't do this alone
And believe me when I say I'll never stop loving you
Because darling, I'm scared of the future too
It's like I've come to the end of a good book
I can't bring myself to finish the last few pages
Cause once I read them, the story is over
And something's missing from my life
So can you please take my hand and promise you won't let go?
I'm afraid of what lies ahead
I can't do this alone
And believe me when I say I'll never stop loving you
Because darling, I'm scared of the future too
I fear regret
I don't want the what ifs looming
My ghost from the past haunting the future me
So if you're willing to stand by me through it all
I'm not saying goodbye to you
My friendships will dwindle as we go our ways
There will be an emptiness I feel as they leave
If you'll trust me, the job will then be yours to sew together the gaps
So can you please take my hand and promise you won't let go?
I'm afraid of what lies ahead
I can't do this alone
And believe me when I say I'll never stop loving you
Because darling, I'm scared of the future too

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
