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.
How can life be what you want it to be?
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
Mmm-hmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmm-hmm, we'd never be apart
Mmm-hmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmm-hmm, we'd never be apart (sick)
Mmm-hmm, if I could melt your heart (mmm)
Mmm-hmm, we'd never be apart
Mmm-hmm, give yourself to me
Mmm-hmm, we'd never be apart (sick)
Mmm-hmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmm-hmm, we'd never be apart
Mmm-hmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmm-hmm, we'd never be apart (sick)
Mmm-hmm
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
Mmm-hmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmm-hmm, we'd never be apart
Mmm-hmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmm-hmm, we'd never be apart (sick)
Mmm-hmm, if I could melt your heart (mmm)
Mmm-hmm, we'd never be apart
Mmm-hmm, give yourself to me
Mmm-hmm, we'd never be apart (sick)
Mmm-hmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmm-hmm, we'd never be apart
Mmm-hmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmm-hmm, we'd never be apart (sick)
Mmm-hmm

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
I disagree with most of the above opinions as to the meaning of this song. It's about how a person who does not open themselves up to others, cannot experience true love. True love can only be achieved when you open yourself up to another fully, not when you are "frozen"...
