He certainly did earn that reputation.
I thought I'd beaten you off once
I thought I was out of this trap once
I said I'd never be like this
I said I'd never stop wishing I was...
Somewhere else, someone to be
Not myself, to much of you in me
Somewhere else with someone new
Killing time but not with you
I'll never slice through like a sharp knife
Could have had money and a good live
Now I suffocate in my dreams
Sat in the back with the cold cold vision
That there's
Someone else, someone to be
Not myself, to much of you in me
Somewhere else with someone new
Killing time but not with you
Someone to believe in
Somewhere I could be tonight
But dreams are not that kind
The consequences hide
I never took the chance with a clean break
The chance that you get but you don't take
Far too weak to be like that
Far to stupid to be thinking that there's
Somewhere else, someone to be
Not myself, to much of you in me
Somewhere else with someone new
Killing time but not with you
Someone to believe in
Somewhere I could be tonight
But dreams are not that kind
The consequences hide
Somewhere else, someone to be
Not myself, to much of you in me
Somewhere else with someone new
Killing time but not with you
Someone to believe in
Somewhere I could be tonight
But dreams are not that kind
The consequences hide
I thought I was out of this trap once
I said I'd never be like this
I said I'd never stop wishing I was...
Somewhere else, someone to be
Not myself, to much of you in me
Somewhere else with someone new
Killing time but not with you
I'll never slice through like a sharp knife
Could have had money and a good live
Now I suffocate in my dreams
Sat in the back with the cold cold vision
That there's
Someone else, someone to be
Not myself, to much of you in me
Somewhere else with someone new
Killing time but not with you
Someone to believe in
Somewhere I could be tonight
But dreams are not that kind
The consequences hide
I never took the chance with a clean break
The chance that you get but you don't take
Far too weak to be like that
Far to stupid to be thinking that there's
Somewhere else, someone to be
Not myself, to much of you in me
Somewhere else with someone new
Killing time but not with you
Someone to believe in
Somewhere I could be tonight
But dreams are not that kind
The consequences hide
Somewhere else, someone to be
Not myself, to much of you in me
Somewhere else with someone new
Killing time but not with you
Someone to believe in
Somewhere I could be tonight
But dreams are not that kind
The consequences hide

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.
The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
This is about someone caught in an emotionally abusive relationship. They know the other person isn't treating them well, and they know it's unhealthy, and they know they should get out, but they just can't because they're so attached to the other person. They dream about being with someone they can believe in, someone they can count on, someone who will treat them the way they deserve, but they just can't break away from their emotionally abusive partner. So they dream of someone they can believe in, and they hope that somehow someday they will be strong enough to break away and find that person.
