its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
I won't live forever
where will I go
will I miss the war
will I miss the snow
I love the way the water comes down
like acid rain
for when I'm gone they'll carry on
but in your head you're all dead
your brain's cold from what's been told
and there you sit begging change
don't you get it
you're still in their shooting range
this is life not a game
and it's getting real old
your body is hungry
for your soul's been sold
now you're trapped deep inside my kind of ride 69 stories
down down better better run and hide ride
I won't live forever
where will I go
will I miss the war
will I miss the snow
I love the way the water comes down
like acid rain
for when I'm gone they'll carry on
for when I'm gone they'll carry on
where will I go
where will I go
will I miss the war
will I miss the snow
I love the way the water comes down
like acid rain
for when I'm gone they'll carry on
but in your head you're all dead
your brain's cold from what's been told
and there you sit begging change
don't you get it
you're still in their shooting range
this is life not a game
and it's getting real old
your body is hungry
for your soul's been sold
now you're trapped deep inside my kind of ride 69 stories
down down better better run and hide ride
I won't live forever
where will I go
will I miss the war
will I miss the snow
I love the way the water comes down
like acid rain
for when I'm gone they'll carry on
for when I'm gone they'll carry on
where will I go

He certainly did earn that reputation.

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.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I love this song so dearly......
