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 don't care about right or wrong anymore
I'd rather lose the battle to win the war
Loving you is still my destiny
Don't you know what you mean to me
And I don't give up so easily now
Don't say that it's over
I'll follow you into your dreams
Girl, you left your name on me
But mark my words
There'll come a day of reckoning
Take another piece from this heart of stone
You better love me or leave me alone
Take another piece, you should have known
That you can't break this heart of stone
I don't know if I can play this game anymore
They say that all is fair in love and war
And I'd do anything to make you see
Wouldn't hurt you, girl, like you're hurting me
But I don't give up so easily now
I know it's not over
I'll follow you into your dreams
Girl, you left your name on me
But mark my words
There'll come a day of reckoning
Take another piece from this heart of stone
You better love me or leave me alone
Take another piece, you should have known
That you can't break this heart of stone
Break another piece from this heart of stone
You better love me or leave me alone
Take another piece, you should have known
That you can't break this heart of stone
You feel it's jagged and strong
I've been the betrayer and I've been betrayed
And I've been lonely too long
I know that love's just the stones thrown away
I'll follow you into your dreams
Girl, you left your name on me
But mark my words
There'll come a day of reckoning
Take another piece from this heart of stone
You better love me or leave me alone
Take another piece, you should have known
That you can't break this heart of stone
Break another piece from this heart of stone
You better love me or leave me alone
Take another piece, you should have known
That you can't break this heart of stone
Ooh-ooh, oh-oh...
Alright
No, no, this heart of stone
This heart of stone
I'd rather lose the battle to win the war
Loving you is still my destiny
Don't you know what you mean to me
And I don't give up so easily now
Don't say that it's over
I'll follow you into your dreams
Girl, you left your name on me
But mark my words
There'll come a day of reckoning
Take another piece from this heart of stone
You better love me or leave me alone
Take another piece, you should have known
That you can't break this heart of stone
I don't know if I can play this game anymore
They say that all is fair in love and war
And I'd do anything to make you see
Wouldn't hurt you, girl, like you're hurting me
But I don't give up so easily now
I know it's not over
I'll follow you into your dreams
Girl, you left your name on me
But mark my words
There'll come a day of reckoning
Take another piece from this heart of stone
You better love me or leave me alone
Take another piece, you should have known
That you can't break this heart of stone
Break another piece from this heart of stone
You better love me or leave me alone
Take another piece, you should have known
That you can't break this heart of stone
You feel it's jagged and strong
I've been the betrayer and I've been betrayed
And I've been lonely too long
I know that love's just the stones thrown away
I'll follow you into your dreams
Girl, you left your name on me
But mark my words
There'll come a day of reckoning
Take another piece from this heart of stone
You better love me or leave me alone
Take another piece, you should have known
That you can't break this heart of stone
Break another piece from this heart of stone
You better love me or leave me alone
Take another piece, you should have known
That you can't break this heart of stone
Ooh-ooh, oh-oh...
Alright
No, no, this heart of stone
This heart of stone

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
