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 my God, what's happening?
Thought I was fine
I told you I don't need your love
Like three, four thousand times
But that's a lie
No, I can't look you in the eye
Oh why? Oh why?
So I did everything to push you all the way
And finally you left and now I'm missing you like crazy
And I cry, no, I can't sleep alone
And I know why, oh why
Look what you've done, look what you've done to me
I got everything I wanted
But you're everything, you're everything I want
Look what you've done to me
Didn't know I was alone
'Til I was running to you, running to your
Heart like magnets
Oh my God, what's happening?
Look what you've done, look what you've done to me
I got everything I wanted
But you're everything, you're everything I need
I wanna tell you things and show you all the rest
Broadcast my emotions on the radio and take 'em off my chest
I hope you're listening
Are you? Are you?
I'll be spinning 'round in circles
Spinning 'round in circles
Writing in my journal 'bout you
Wonder if it's over
I ain't getting closer
Think it's time I told you the truth
(Hey, wait a minute)
Look what you've done, look what you've done to me
I got everything I wanted
But you're everything, you're everything I want
Look what you've done to me
Didn't know I was alone
'Til I was running to you, running to your
Heart like magnets
Oh my God, what's happening?
Look what you've done, look what you've done to me
I got everything I wanted
But you're everything, you're everything I need
"Ah, what have you done to me?
Something about your face
I don't know whether to kiss it or punch it
If you don't get away from me right now
I swear to God, I swear"
Look what you've done, look what you've done to me
I got everything I wanted
But you're everything, you're everything I want
Look what you've done to me
Didn't know I was alone
'Til I was running to you, running to your
Heart like magnets
Oh my God, what's happening?
Look what you've done, look what you've done to me
I got everything I wanted
But you're everything, you're everything I need
Thought I was fine
I told you I don't need your love
Like three, four thousand times
But that's a lie
No, I can't look you in the eye
Oh why? Oh why?
So I did everything to push you all the way
And finally you left and now I'm missing you like crazy
And I cry, no, I can't sleep alone
And I know why, oh why
Look what you've done, look what you've done to me
I got everything I wanted
But you're everything, you're everything I want
Look what you've done to me
Didn't know I was alone
'Til I was running to you, running to your
Heart like magnets
Oh my God, what's happening?
Look what you've done, look what you've done to me
I got everything I wanted
But you're everything, you're everything I need
I wanna tell you things and show you all the rest
Broadcast my emotions on the radio and take 'em off my chest

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
