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.
Take all our friends
Take the life we're growing used to
And just send us away
As the clock ticks slowly
Moves through every hour of every day
Are we okay
Are we alive
Oh, maybe it's just fine
And we need nothing to survive
Oo, whoa, oh
I'm feeling us breath in perfect balance again
Oh, so much is said in this perfect silence
And we're gone
Take all the things that made inclomplete back there
And we'll throw them to the wind
And only count what lies ahead
See it's not the way I planned
Where do we stand
Are we alone
Oh, maybe it's just fine
And we have no where left to go
Oo, whoa, oh
I'm feeling us breath in perfect balance again
Oh, so much is said in this perfect silence
And we're gone
I'm feeling us breathing in perfect balance again
Oh, so much is said in this perfect silence
I hear your last breath, Bobby
With both eyes closed, come quietly
I hear your last breath, Bobby
Yeah
I'm feeling us breath in perfect balance again
Oh, so much is said in this perfect silence
And we're gone
I'm feeling us breath in perfect balance again
Oh, so much is said in this perfect silence
And we're gone
And we're gone
Take the life we're growing used to
And just send us away
As the clock ticks slowly
Moves through every hour of every day
Are we okay
Are we alive
Oh, maybe it's just fine
And we need nothing to survive
Oo, whoa, oh
I'm feeling us breath in perfect balance again
Oh, so much is said in this perfect silence
And we're gone
Take all the things that made inclomplete back there
And we'll throw them to the wind
And only count what lies ahead
See it's not the way I planned
Where do we stand
Are we alone
Oh, maybe it's just fine
And we have no where left to go
Oo, whoa, oh
I'm feeling us breath in perfect balance again
Oh, so much is said in this perfect silence
And we're gone
I'm feeling us breathing in perfect balance again
Oh, so much is said in this perfect silence
I hear your last breath, Bobby
With both eyes closed, come quietly
I hear your last breath, Bobby
Yeah
I'm feeling us breath in perfect balance again
Oh, so much is said in this perfect silence
And we're gone
I'm feeling us breath in perfect balance again
Oh, so much is said in this perfect silence
And we're gone
And we're gone

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.
Holiday

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Magical
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.
This is a great song, too bad no one has comented on it. I thought it was about a girl, until i got to the "I hear your last breath, Bobby" part. Maybe it's about a situation that wasn't too comforting, but i think it's about being positive and thankful for what we have in life until the last moment
