Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Someday you gotta find another way,
You better right your mind and live by what you say.
Today is just another day,
Unless you set your sights and try to find a way.
(Pre-Chorus)
I say fuck authority,
Silent Majority, raised by the system,
Now it's time to rise against them.
We're sick of your treason, sick of your lies,
Fuck no we won't listen, we're gonna open your eyes!
(Chorus)
Frustration, domination,
Feel the rage of a new generation!
We're living, we're dying,
We're never, never, never gonna stop!
Stop trying! (x4)
You know the time is right to take control,
We gotta take offense against the status quo.
No way, not gonna stand for it today,
Fight your rights it's time we had our say.
(Pre-Chorus)
I say fuck authority,
Silent Majority, raised by the system,
Now it's time to rise against them.
We're sick of your treason, sick of your lies,
Fuck no we won't listen, we're gonna open your eyes!
(Chorus)
Frustration, domination,
Feel the rage of a new generation!
We're living, we're dying,
We're sick and tired of relentless trying!
Destroy, enjoy,
Your fuckin' world is our new toy!
Dominate, eliminate,
Your gonna feel the wrath - wrath of hate!
(Pre-Chorus)
Fuck authority,
Silent Majority, raised by the system,
Now it's time to rise against them.
We're sick of your treason, sick of your lies,
Fuck no we won't listen, we're gonna open your eyes!
(Chorus)
Frustration, domination,
Feel the rage of a new generation!
We're living, we're dying,
We're never, never, never gonna stop!
Stop trying! (x4)
You better right your mind and live by what you say.
Today is just another day,
Unless you set your sights and try to find a way.
(Pre-Chorus)
I say fuck authority,
Silent Majority, raised by the system,
Now it's time to rise against them.
We're sick of your treason, sick of your lies,
Fuck no we won't listen, we're gonna open your eyes!
(Chorus)
Frustration, domination,
Feel the rage of a new generation!
We're living, we're dying,
We're never, never, never gonna stop!
Stop trying! (x4)
You know the time is right to take control,
We gotta take offense against the status quo.
No way, not gonna stand for it today,
Fight your rights it's time we had our say.
(Pre-Chorus)

We're never, never, never gonna stop!
Stop trying! (x4)

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”

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.
Fuck all authority figures of any type. Now instead of hearing the song and letting it pass by you I think we should all rise against and do somin about authority..... and they can feel the rage of OUR generation!!!!!!!!!!!!!
