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.
By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he wept when he remembered Zion
Oh from wicked, carry us away from captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing king Alpha's song in a strange land?
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditations of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight
Override
By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he wept when he remembered Zion
Oh from wicked, carry us away from captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing king Alpha's song in a strange land?
How can we sing king Alpha's song in a strange land?
Where he sat down
And there he wept when he remembered Zion
Oh from wicked, carry us away from captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing king Alpha's song in a strange land?
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditations of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight
Override
By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he wept when he remembered Zion
Oh from wicked, carry us away from captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing king Alpha's song in a strange land?
How can we sing king Alpha's song in a strange land?

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
These lyrics are so fucking wrong.
Here we go.
