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.
did you know that you live in a racist society did you know you're the privileged class and everybody else is essentially taking it up the ass did you know that you could be free did you know that's not the way it has to be did you know you can still change everything did you know that there's no such thing as equality and there might be if you don't change did you know that you live in a warzone (culturally) did you know that your parents were fucked when they taught you how to fear anybody who wasn't white enough did you know that you could be free did you know that's not the way it has to be did you know you can still change everything did you know that the older you get it gets easier to blame somebody else for your own mess did you know that the jews don't run the world and all black men aren't criminals did you know there's a lot of money to be made from keeping you paranoid, suspicious, worried, frightened all wound up and tense inside 'cause big business runs the government and it's not good business if we burn down the government so they keep us occupied with moron tv shows and shitty beer that wipes out brain cells and whining about congress and stupid fucking income taxes and if that's not enough to keep your mind off of the way you're getting dicked around they fill you with fear and hate give you someone to blame for all your problems why's the country going down the fucking toilet do you know what they think of you do you know how contemptuous they are of you do you know how easy you are to fool you're like a dog going after a ball that was never thrown well guess what you're on your own good luck

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I haven't heard a lot of this bands work, but I am beginning to believe there are puck rockers with depth. I thought I might have had t be the first.
