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.
So it's sad this doesn't suit you now and me fresh out of rope
Please ignore the lisp, I never meant to sound like this
So take me and break me and make me strong like you
I'll be forever grateful to this and you
It's only you, beautiful or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you
Fix me to a chain around your neck, wear me like a nickel
Even new wine served in old skins cheapens the taste
I shot the pilot, I'm begging you to fly this for me
I'm here for you to use, broken and bruised, do you understand?
It's only you, beautiful or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you
How could I miscalculate, perfect eyes will have perfect aim
If I can choose, it's only you
We're wrecking and I'm dry like a drum
When you scream so fine, I'll leave
We're spending, take our time and trials measured in miles
We slave for days and weeks
It's only you, beautiful, or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you
How could I miscalculate, perfect lies from a perfect dame
If I could choose, it's only you
Please ignore the lisp, I never meant to sound like this
So take me and break me and make me strong like you
I'll be forever grateful to this and you
It's only you, beautiful or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you
Fix me to a chain around your neck, wear me like a nickel
Even new wine served in old skins cheapens the taste
I shot the pilot, I'm begging you to fly this for me
I'm here for you to use, broken and bruised, do you understand?
It's only you, beautiful or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you
How could I miscalculate, perfect eyes will have perfect aim
If I can choose, it's only you
We're wrecking and I'm dry like a drum
When you scream so fine, I'll leave
We're spending, take our time and trials measured in miles
We slave for days and weeks
It's only you, beautiful, or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you
How could I miscalculate, perfect lies from a perfect dame
If I could choose, it's only you

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Last night I went to a Brand New, Taking Back Sunday and Rufio show in downtown Seattle. I would like to just say that this song was amazing live. Incredibly emotional. Perhaps I am just an overly emotional fool, but it was really deep. You could tell it really meant something to him, it hit home. The No Seatbelt Song.. Seventy Times Seven.. simply amazing. Keep up the good work Brand New, you're amazing
