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.
Caught by the fuzz
Well I was, still on a buzz
In the back of the van
With my head in my hands
Just like a bad dream
I was only fifteen
If only my brother could be here now
He'd get me out, he'd sort me out alright
I knew I should have stayed at home tonight
Locked in the cell, feeling unwell
I talked to a man
He said it's better to tell
Who sold you the blow
Well it was no one I know
If only you'd tell us we'd let you go
We'll make it up for you, my son
So tell us what you know
We'll make you wish you'd stayed at home tonight
Here comes my mum, well she
She knows what I've done
Just tell 'em the truth
You know where it's from
You've blackened our name
Well you, you should be ashamed
If only your father could see you now
He'd breakdown and he'd throw you out for sure
I never should have let you out tonight
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight), tonight
Well I was, still on a buzz
In the back of the van
With my head in my hands
Just like a bad dream
I was only fifteen
If only my brother could be here now
He'd get me out, he'd sort me out alright
I knew I should have stayed at home tonight
Locked in the cell, feeling unwell
I talked to a man
He said it's better to tell
Who sold you the blow
Well it was no one I know
If only you'd tell us we'd let you go
We'll make it up for you, my son
So tell us what you know
We'll make you wish you'd stayed at home tonight
Here comes my mum, well she
She knows what I've done
Just tell 'em the truth
You know where it's from
You've blackened our name
Well you, you should be ashamed
If only your father could see you now
He'd breakdown and he'd throw you out for sure
I never should have let you out tonight
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight), tonight

@[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.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I doubt its heroin but who knows, I always assumed it was either weed or crack.
