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.
Got a picture of you I carry in my heart
Close my eyes to see it when the world gets dark
Got a memory of you I carry in my soul
I wrap it close around me when the nights get cold
And if you ask me how I'm doing, I'd say just fine
But the truth is baby if you could read my mind
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
After all this time you're still with me it's true
Somehow you remain, locked so deep inside
Baby, baby, oh baby
Not a day goes by
I still wait for the phone in the middle of the night
Thinking you might call me if your dreams don't turn out right
And it still amazes me that I lie here in the dark
Wishing you were next to me with your head against my heart
And if you ask me how I'm doing, I'd say just fine
But the truth is baby if you could read my mind
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
And after all this time you're still with me it's true
Somehow you remain, locked so deep inside
Baby, baby, oh baby
Not a day goes by
Minutes turn to hours and the hours to days
Seems it's been forever that I've felt this way
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
After all this time you're still with me it's true, oh
Somehow you remain, locked so deep inside
Baby, baby, oh baby
Not a day goes by
That I don't think of you
Close my eyes to see it when the world gets dark
Got a memory of you I carry in my soul
I wrap it close around me when the nights get cold
And if you ask me how I'm doing, I'd say just fine
But the truth is baby if you could read my mind
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
After all this time you're still with me it's true
Somehow you remain, locked so deep inside
Baby, baby, oh baby
Not a day goes by
I still wait for the phone in the middle of the night
Thinking you might call me if your dreams don't turn out right
And it still amazes me that I lie here in the dark
Wishing you were next to me with your head against my heart
And if you ask me how I'm doing, I'd say just fine
But the truth is baby if you could read my mind
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
And after all this time you're still with me it's true
Somehow you remain, locked so deep inside
Baby, baby, oh baby
Not a day goes by
Minutes turn to hours and the hours to days
Seems it's been forever that I've felt this way
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
After all this time you're still with me it's true, oh
Somehow you remain, locked so deep inside
Baby, baby, oh baby
Not a day goes by
That I don't think of you

You are so right. I feel the same way. My boyfriend and I just broke up. He is a Marine and I guess his job comes first, there wasn't much time left for me between his job and school.
