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.
Lock all the doors and kill the lights
No one's coming home tonight
Sun beats down, don't you know?
All our lives are growing cold, oh
They bring news that must get through
Dying dreams in me and you
Oh, ooh
They're locked in a place where no one goes
We ask no quarter
We hold no quarter
Hey-oh
Lock the door
Kill the light
No one's coming home tonight
It's getting colder, it's getting colder
It's getting colder, it's getting colder
It's getting colder, it's getting colder
It's getting colder
Well, locked in a place where no one goes
Lock the door
Kill the light
No one's coming home tonight
They'll have news that must get through
Dying dreams in me and you, oh
Locked in a place where no one goes
They have no quarter
We have no quarter
We ask no quarter
No one's coming home tonight
Sun beats down, don't you know?
All our lives are growing cold, oh
They bring news that must get through
Dying dreams in me and you
Oh, ooh
They're locked in a place where no one goes
We ask no quarter
We hold no quarter
Hey-oh
Lock the door
Kill the light
No one's coming home tonight
It's getting colder, it's getting colder
It's getting colder, it's getting colder
It's getting colder, it's getting colder
It's getting colder
Well, locked in a place where no one goes
Lock the door
Kill the light
No one's coming home tonight
They'll have news that must get through
Dying dreams in me and you, oh
Locked in a place where no one goes
They have no quarter
We have no quarter
We ask no quarter

Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Don't you think, 'Locked in a place where no one goes' is the half-melon, that is your head? Your mind? Believing so strongly in your opinion that you sometimes feel it's only you that exist, and that no one can understand the way you do. Just a thought.
