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.
You’re what I call reasonably attractive
With an ego that’s hyperactive
Standing there playing tricks on me
Cause I’m the girl you happen to see
Well, I know that I’ve been hurt before
And maybe I looked twice when you walked through that door
That don’t mean I want some cheap romance
I only came here to dance
Texas two step
Guide me with your eyes
Texas two step
Got to learn how to slide
Shuffle, shuffle
Spin me around
You got to hold me up
When you dip me down
The band is playing and you were saying
Don’t lift your feet too far from the floor
The fiddle’s crying and Lord knows you’re trying
To spin me around one time more
I love it when you put your hand right
Under my shoulder
And guide me across the floor
Under the circumstances
This could really mean something
And this song’s still got a few seconds more
Texas two step
Guide me with your eyes
Texas two step
Got to learn how to slide
Shuffle, shuffle
Spin me around
You got to hold me up
When you dip me down
With an ego that’s hyperactive
Standing there playing tricks on me
Cause I’m the girl you happen to see
Well, I know that I’ve been hurt before
And maybe I looked twice when you walked through that door
That don’t mean I want some cheap romance
I only came here to dance
Texas two step
Guide me with your eyes
Texas two step
Got to learn how to slide
Shuffle, shuffle
Spin me around
You got to hold me up
When you dip me down
The band is playing and you were saying
Don’t lift your feet too far from the floor
The fiddle’s crying and Lord knows you’re trying
To spin me around one time more
I love it when you put your hand right
Under my shoulder
And guide me across the floor
Under the circumstances
This could really mean something
And this song’s still got a few seconds more
Texas two step
Guide me with your eyes
Texas two step
Got to learn how to slide
Shuffle, shuffle
Spin me around
You got to hold me up
When you dip me down

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
