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.
Oh baby
Can't you see what you're doing to the boy
Oh child
You have brought me so much joy
And I'm so happy
To be here by your side
Please stay close to me
Baby
Without your love I just can't exist
Oh child
You have brought me so much tenderness
You make my life seem brighter
What was dark has now become lighter
Please stay close to me
Baby doll, honey child
Always be, close to me
Baby doll, honey child
Always be, close to me
And I'm so happy
To be here by your side
Please stay close to me
Baby doll, honey child
Always be, close to me
Baby doll, honey child
Always be, close to me
Baby doll, honey child
Always be, close to me
Baby doll, honey child
Can't you see what you're doing to the boy
Oh child
You have brought me so much joy
And I'm so happy
To be here by your side
Please stay close to me
Baby
Without your love I just can't exist
Oh child
You have brought me so much tenderness
You make my life seem brighter
What was dark has now become lighter
Please stay close to me
Baby doll, honey child
Always be, close to me
Baby doll, honey child
Always be, close to me
And I'm so happy
To be here by your side
Please stay close to me
Baby doll, honey child
Always be, close to me
Baby doll, honey child
Always be, close to me
Baby doll, honey child
Always be, close to me
Baby doll, honey child

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
