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.
Last time I looked you wasn’t feeling too good about love
Really had it up in here, really had it opened her up
Turn it up
When I have what happen next you say
This won’t do, you say back back back back
I fall quick, this world of vain
Screaming from the back of your head
As I dream you’ll do nothing to move on
Keep running, keep running backwards
Running backwards
Running backwards
Running backwards
Running backwards
Had to have your back before you knew what was wrong
Free square, I’m new with that
Innocence gone
There was day you said said better this way
Til you say back back back back
And I’d never run away
From feeling that it’s your fault, welcome to it
In the conduct you’ll blaze up to it slow
Keep running, keep running backwards
Running backwards
Running backwards
Running backwards
Running backwards
Running backwards
Running backwards
Running backwards
Anything, is that in vain?
Screaming from the back of… back of
If you could not, nothing to look on
Keep running, keep running backwards
You’ll never get away
From feeling that it’s your fault, it’s your fault
If you could not, nothing to look on
Keep running, Keep running
Keep running backwards
Really had it up in here, really had it opened her up
Turn it up
When I have what happen next you say
This won’t do, you say back back back back
I fall quick, this world of vain
Screaming from the back of your head
As I dream you’ll do nothing to move on
Keep running, keep running backwards
Running backwards
Running backwards
Running backwards
Running backwards
Had to have your back before you knew what was wrong
Free square, I’m new with that
Innocence gone
There was day you said said better this way
Til you say back back back back
And I’d never run away
From feeling that it’s your fault, welcome to it
In the conduct you’ll blaze up to it slow
Keep running, keep running backwards
Running backwards
Running backwards
Running backwards
Running backwards
Running backwards
Running backwards
Running backwards
Anything, is that in vain?
Screaming from the back of… back of
If you could not, nothing to look on
Keep running, keep running backwards
You’ll never get away
From feeling that it’s your fault, it’s your fault
If you could not, nothing to look on
Keep running, Keep running
Keep running backwards

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.

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/
