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.
My captive heart (my captive heart)
My willing soul (my willing soul)
My captive heart (my captive heart)
My willing soul (my willing soul)
I see him walking
I sense the danger
I hear his voice
And my heart stops
He wears a face of the night
Ooh, the perfect stranger
And I'm falling
Ready or not
I don't think about it
Who knows where the wind blows? Ooh-ooh
No doubt about it
I'll go where he goes
My captive heart (he holds the key to these emotions)
My willing soul (let me drown in this ocean)
And I carry the flame, and I play my part
As long as he is calling, calling my captive heart
My captive heart (my captive heart)
Fire burns, so I've been told
But I like the way it feels
He has a wild passion, that drives away the cold
And I know (and I know), his touch is real
I don't think about it
He leads and I follow, ooh-ooh
No doubt about it
I'll go where he goes
My captive heart (he holds the key to these emotions)
My willing soul (let me drown in this ocean)
And I carry the flame, like I did from the start
As long as he is calling, calling my captive heart
Don't think about it
Who knows where the wind blows? Ohh-ohh, no, no
No doubt about it
I'll go where he goes
My love (he holds the key to these emotions)
Let me drown in this ocean
And I play my part
As long as he is calling, calling (my willing soul)
My captive heart (he holds the key to these emotions)
My willing soul (let me drown in this ocean)
And I carry the flame, and I play my part
As long as he is calling, calling my captive heart
(My captive heart) set me free (he holds the key to these emotions)
(My willing soul) set me free (let me drown in this ocean)
Let me drown in this ocean (and I play my part) set me free, yeah
My captive heart
(My captive heart)
(My willing soul)
(My captive heart)
My willing soul (my willing soul)
My captive heart (my captive heart)
My willing soul (my willing soul)
I see him walking
I sense the danger
I hear his voice
And my heart stops
He wears a face of the night
Ooh, the perfect stranger
And I'm falling
Ready or not
I don't think about it
Who knows where the wind blows? Ooh-ooh
No doubt about it
I'll go where he goes
My captive heart (he holds the key to these emotions)
My willing soul (let me drown in this ocean)
And I carry the flame, and I play my part
As long as he is calling, calling my captive heart
My captive heart (my captive heart)
Fire burns, so I've been told
But I like the way it feels
He has a wild passion, that drives away the cold
And I know (and I know), his touch is real
I don't think about it
He leads and I follow, ooh-ooh
No doubt about it
I'll go where he goes
My captive heart (he holds the key to these emotions)
My willing soul (let me drown in this ocean)
And I carry the flame, like I did from the start
As long as he is calling, calling my captive heart
Don't think about it
Who knows where the wind blows? Ohh-ohh, no, no
No doubt about it
I'll go where he goes
My love (he holds the key to these emotions)
Let me drown in this ocean
And I play my part
As long as he is calling, calling (my willing soul)
My captive heart (he holds the key to these emotions)
My willing soul (let me drown in this ocean)
And I carry the flame, and I play my part
As long as he is calling, calling my captive heart
(My captive heart) set me free (he holds the key to these emotions)
(My willing soul) set me free (let me drown in this ocean)
Let me drown in this ocean (and I play my part) set me free, yeah
My captive heart
(My captive heart)
(My willing soul)
(My captive heart)

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
haha I see. What lovely colourful art. It's a little bit Lolita inspired, hence the perverted phrasing.
