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?
We're piling it too high
Talk not saying anything
What we leave behind
What we can't afford to keep
There's no sympathetic posturing
There's no more true humanity
The old ways aren't working anymore
Let's separate the users
From the whores
Creepy crawl
Twist the 4-5 cap
To get wrapped
Tight slap the wax
On the wheels to feel alright
Find the flow freak
The funk like your in heat
Wrap the leaf
Strike the blunt
Now your in deep
We've got to get together
Got to get with the game plan
To defeat the dealer
That dealt this hand
I don't understand
Why the kids are killing kids
When the only one's that benefit
Are the big whigs
Mankind unkind
Always a fine line
We've all got to die
And this time it's my time
Hindsight blind fight
I hate it when I'm right
He destroys the world
While we sleep at night
Twist the 4-5 cap
And understand that
If it was up to me
I'd free Charles Manson
Throw it all away
Let's separate the users,
From the whores
What do we have to hope for
Why do we event try
Laughed at religion long ago
I doubt I'll be an angel when die
Talk not saying anything
What we leave behind
What we can't afford to keep
There's no sympathetic posturing
There's no more true humanity
The old ways aren't working anymore
Let's separate the users
From the whores

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Techno Ted
Audioslave
Audioslave
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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I have to agree with XeroxedSoul. Mushroomhead obviously take that religious issue very seriously, otherwise they wouldn't deal with it on so many songs. The support of "I doubt I will" vs. "I will not" (which they didn't choose) for XeroxedSouls theory is a strong one, as it makes all the difference between a simple searching non-believer (=sceptic) and a stubborn full-on atheist (who thinks he's got the religious questions all figured out). So I agree with XeroxedSoul - so far, so good. Yet, I don't know where to take it from there. I mean, why does he want to free Chuck M, where's the need to "separate the users from the whores" (what the heck do they stand for?), and what is all that "Twist the 4-5 Cap" stuff about? Hell, I don't even know what those words mean! red3blood, you mentioned Chuck M, but still I don't see the connection with all the other things mentioned in the song. Could you maybe explain your theory in more detail? As for what Killer_Divine said: "Defeat The Dealer That Dealt This Hand" might just as well refer to anybody claiming to have the "true" interpretation of the bible or even religion itself. MxHx often talk about religion and take a sceptic view on it; however, they don't come up with satanism or simplified reversions of what organized xtianity has told. I don't think your interpretation is correct, since it would be to simple and crude, falling short of the depth of any other of their 'religious' lyrics. If you maintain your theory you'll have to back it up by something...
