He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
I've got a great choice of career
Staring endlessly into the mirror I've got
A blank look on my face never to ever disappear
Disappear this is my chance
At the mirror this is my chance
At the mirror I find, I see myself in your eyes
Feel your regret, taste your despise
I am immune, still insecure
I've been things that never, ever were
Never were this is my chance at the mirror
Wanting what's behind inside the outside
There's no time to hide curiosities
Outcry to have and to hold to bend
And to mold determine a price prepare to be sold
All is commodity deformities
Oddities exploit the Prodigy to amuse us all
Staring endlessly into the mirror I've got
A blank look on my face never to ever disappear
Disappear this is my chance
At the mirror this is my chance
At the mirror I find, I see myself in your eyes
Feel your regret, taste your despise
I am immune, still insecure
I've been things that never, ever were
Never were this is my chance at the mirror
Wanting what's behind inside the outside
There's no time to hide curiosities
Outcry to have and to hold to bend
And to mold determine a price prepare to be sold
All is commodity deformities
Oddities exploit the Prodigy to amuse us all

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.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
