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.
knowing your voice could awaken me - is what makes my life impossible
knowing we've severed every tie - yet remain bound to each other
knowing how i long for the one i once loved - the one who once loved me
knowing what i've lost - what is it like to have that beyond reach?
knowing that your voice will destroy any new dreams i create.
knowing i'll do the things that you desire.
life moves on. lie in wait. unaffected. unconscious.
knowing that your voice will destroy any new dreams i believe in.
a chaos of desire
knowing i love you...
there's no longer, anything i can do
there's no longer, anything i can do about it.
knowing we've severed every tie - yet remain bound to each other
knowing how i long for the one i once loved - the one who once loved me
knowing what i've lost - what is it like to have that beyond reach?
knowing that your voice will destroy any new dreams i create.
knowing i'll do the things that you desire.
life moves on. lie in wait. unaffected. unconscious.
knowing that your voice will destroy any new dreams i believe in.
a chaos of desire
knowing i love you...
there's no longer, anything i can do
there's no longer, anything i can do about it.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Thank you :)
