He certainly did earn that reputation.
A new breed of weaponry
Fully automatic, precise schematic
Yes we aspire to a higher rate of fire
Superior technology
Oh, I sweep the arc of bullets to the left
Then I fire to the right
With my hand pressed down on the trigger
And the enemy in my sights
I spray a wall of lead to the left
And I fire to the right
The bodies drop in rows
Cut down like a scythe
Oh yes the roar of battle has its thrills
But never, never forget
How firepower kills
Solo- Carroll
If you thought we knew by now
How this is all a waste
In a government lab
The best, the brightest
Are locked in an arms race
Upon the modern battlefield
The war takes to the skies
And in the coming future days
Combat will be mechanized
Blast off at supersonic flight
Mach-10 like a guided drone
We’ll build a brighter future
With the weapons of tomorrow
Oh yes the prize of power has its thrills
But never never forget
How firepower kills
Solo-Becker
Oh yes the game of nations has its thrills
But never, never, never, never forget...
Firepower kills!
We will wipe away all your earthly pain and sorrow
Yes, we’ll build a brighter future with the weapons of tomorrow
We’ll build a brighter future with the weapons of tomorrow
We’ll build a brighter future with the weapons of tomorrow
We’ll build a brighter future with the weapons of tomorrow
And in a searing flash of white...
The future looks so bright
Fully automatic, precise schematic
Yes we aspire to a higher rate of fire
Superior technology
Oh, I sweep the arc of bullets to the left
Then I fire to the right
With my hand pressed down on the trigger
And the enemy in my sights
I spray a wall of lead to the left
And I fire to the right
The bodies drop in rows
Cut down like a scythe
Oh yes the roar of battle has its thrills
But never, never forget

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
