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.
When I was younger,
I thought that the world revolved around me.
Everybody was just a character in my little life story.
Now I’m older and a bit smarter,
I can see that I’m nothing.
I wish I could go back,
but I know I can’t, to thinking that I’m everything.
Much more than I expected,
I was not prepared for this.
I grew up too quickly and now I see that things don’t always work out right.
I don’t understand, but that’s life.
My brother and sister would go out on friday nights,
I would sit home and watch TGIF.
They never came home,
but I didn’t have to deal with the things that they did.
I miss not caring at all. I miss not worrying.
I thought that the world revolved around me.
Everybody was just a character in my little life story.
Now I’m older and a bit smarter,
I can see that I’m nothing.
I wish I could go back,
but I know I can’t, to thinking that I’m everything.
Much more than I expected,
I was not prepared for this.
I grew up too quickly and now I see that things don’t always work out right.
I don’t understand, but that’s life.
My brother and sister would go out on friday nights,
I would sit home and watch TGIF.
They never came home,
but I didn’t have to deal with the things that they did.
I miss not caring at all. I miss not worrying.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
