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.
And her eyes
Hurt the way they do
Almost like they'd seen
Almost like they knew
And her words
Soft as they could be
Tied me to her soul
And couldn't set me free
And the night
That held us in its arms
It held us once again
But even then
I knew this time
That I would decline
Sweet Rosemary's wine
Lately I
Seem to be inclined
More to being cold
Less to being kind
And I suppose
That I've been less than true
Being what I am
What was I to do?
So I drink
The sweetness of her soul
And drink it once again
But even then
I guess I'd known
That I would decline
Sweet Rosemary's wine
Hurt the way they do
Almost like they'd seen
Almost like they knew
And her words
Soft as they could be
Tied me to her soul
And couldn't set me free
And the night
That held us in its arms
It held us once again
But even then
I knew this time
That I would decline
Sweet Rosemary's wine
Lately I
Seem to be inclined
More to being cold
Less to being kind
And I suppose
That I've been less than true
Being what I am
What was I to do?
So I drink
The sweetness of her soul
And drink it once again
But even then
I guess I'd known
That I would decline
Sweet Rosemary's wine

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
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.
