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 can see it in your eyes
I can hear it in your voice
The signs are obvious that all we had has run its course
I don't mind giving up the upper hand in this little charade
Well I spent too many nights on the floor
Waiting for something inside you to change
Don't look back in anger now its all that you can see
'Cause angers all I got to keep me warm when your away
Well, I know that this is nothing new
But tonight it's all I know
Disconnect myself from your memory
I'll never feel anything at all
To justify with all your words
Don't mean anything to me
'Cause I've cut you off
I cut you off
So here we stand and face each other
We've got nothing to say
A flashback to another time
When silence was a welcome friend
And now I'm sorry I can never really say
All the things going on inside my head
Silence is a justified expression of my war
Now, nothing's like it was before
Don't look back in anger
Now it's all that you could say?
'Cause anger's all I got to keep me warm when you're away
And all your words
And all your actions don't mean anything to me
'Cause I've cut you off
Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger, it's just a memory
And I'm sorry I could never really say (don't look back in anger)
All the things going on inside my head (don't look back in anger)
Silence is a justified expression of my war now (don't look back in anger)
Nothing's like it was before (it's just a memory)
No, it's easy to forget your face
And it's easy to survive in this place without you
Without you
I just comb my hair and wash my face
Keep straight ahead and keep my pace
Don't think about nothing
And my days will be alright
Well I got my friends, got my pen
Got a million distractions to keep me warm
And I know that I'll be alright
And I'll be alright
The list of human beings taking the repeated doses
Need the individuals or preferably the time and places where briefly used
I can hear it in your voice
The signs are obvious that all we had has run its course
I don't mind giving up the upper hand in this little charade
Well I spent too many nights on the floor
Waiting for something inside you to change
Don't look back in anger now its all that you can see
'Cause angers all I got to keep me warm when your away
Well, I know that this is nothing new
But tonight it's all I know
Disconnect myself from your memory
I'll never feel anything at all
To justify with all your words
Don't mean anything to me
'Cause I've cut you off
I cut you off
So here we stand and face each other
We've got nothing to say
A flashback to another time
When silence was a welcome friend
And now I'm sorry I can never really say
All the things going on inside my head
Silence is a justified expression of my war
Now, nothing's like it was before
Don't look back in anger
Now it's all that you could say?
'Cause anger's all I got to keep me warm when you're away
And all your words
And all your actions don't mean anything to me
'Cause I've cut you off
Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger, it's just a memory
And I'm sorry I could never really say (don't look back in anger)
All the things going on inside my head (don't look back in anger)
Silence is a justified expression of my war now (don't look back in anger)
Nothing's like it was before (it's just a memory)
No, it's easy to forget your face
And it's easy to survive in this place without you
Without you
I just comb my hair and wash my face
Keep straight ahead and keep my pace
Don't think about nothing
And my days will be alright
Well I got my friends, got my pen
Got a million distractions to keep me warm
And I know that I'll be alright
And I'll be alright
The list of human beings taking the repeated doses
Need the individuals or preferably the time and places where briefly used

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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.
This song is absolutely awesome. Every line of this song means something to me, as i am currently going through a strenuous break up with a girlfriend of 3 years. This is my all time favourite song By Strung Out, and the drumming! is just awesome, guitars are great vocals are perfect, the song simply rocks in a mega way. As we say here in australia, that bad is Fair Dinkum Fucking Fantasic
