its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
You're always on my back about what I mean to do and all your talk is bothering me just wait until I'm through I walk down to the corner store to catch up with my friends They're puffin smoke high on dope, will this shit ever end?
I go down to the matinee such stupid shit I see as middle class suburban kids grubbin money off of me Tough guys starin pickin fights with new kids & with old These attitudes help nobody the guilty should be told and we'll tell 'em
No Reason Why - to beat up on a poser skin No Reason Why - to keep the little kids from getting in No Reason Why - to take advantage of the people you know No Reason Why - there's just no reason why.
I go down to the matinee such stupid shit I see as middle class suburban kids grubbin money off of me Tough guys starin pickin fights with new kids & with old These attitudes help nobody the guilty should be told and we'll tell 'em

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.

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.
Just basically being tired about all the stupid shit your friends and other people do.
