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.

Solar system on my collar bone
Diamonds ringing off like xylophone
(We are the shadows)
[Repeat Hook]
[Verse 1: Vast Aire]
You got a frost bite
Well mines colder
At this height
You'll see Jupiter on my shoulder
I am the master of all things
On Saturn, they call me the lord of the rings
I got a (Solar system on my collar bone)
Yeah, I make my thumb and my pinky glow
Just to phone home(just to phone home)
Here's your last chance to glance at the spider
My eight steps is the dance of the tarantula
The only thing standing in the here after
Is the fifty foot woman, Giganta
And Im ready to plant her
She's the receiver, ready to capture
I'm ready for the rapture
Show me the arms of wickedness, Im ready to fracture
Light and dark, time and Space
Im waiting on Pinocchio to spite his face
I'm a dough boy on another level
All I do is bake the cake and stash the truffle
And if you run your muzzle
It could be you and seven friends
Thats eight heads in a duffle
I'll just vanish you if you rebuttal
Then its back to the universe
Cause we cuddle
Oh yeah my mother's hip is a shuttle
That projects suns and moons at full throttle
We could be extremely dense, or hollow
We could be hard to trace, harder to follow
The lies of yesterday will be gone tomorrow
But the truth is today is so hard to swallow
I'm a celestial Czar
I change my crown of thorns into a crown of stars
I gotta a…
(Solar system on my collar bone)
I found her milkyish way by her pelvic zone
[Hook]
(We hold the weight of the universe)
[Hook]
The fire rises
…Sir William Cosmos
…We walk around with a
Solar system on my… x2
Solar system on my collar bone
Solar system on my…x2
Solar system on my collar bone
Diamonds ringing off like xylophone
(We are the shadows)

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.
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."

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,

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.
