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.
I'd take it back to have the chance
To see her laugh, to see her dance
You, you never told me it would be so hard
And now you're saying you can't stay
You can't stay so get away
This bedroom tells of our mistakes
Perfume and innocence to take
I am in love but not enough to wait
So take, take your place down on my bed
I am not the same man that you met
I'll be your lover but I'm not your friend
So let's go all the way
Let's go all the way
This dark road will lead right where we want to be
You're driving so take the wheel
I'd take it back to have the chance
To see her laugh, to see her dance
You, you never told me it would be so hard
And now you're saying that you can't stay
You can't stay so get away
This clinic smells of death and shame
Misguided women with no names
I guess the children are the ones to blame
I'll drop you off, be back in ten
We'll never see this place again
We will recover but we won't repent
So let's go all the way
Let's go all the way
This dark road will lead right where we want to be
You're driving so take the wheel
You're driving so take the wheel
You're driving so take the wheel
You're driving so take the wheel, oh
You're driving so take the wheel, oh
You're driving so take the wheel, oh
You're driving so take the wheel
So take the wheel
So take the wheel
To see her laugh, to see her dance
You, you never told me it would be so hard
And now you're saying you can't stay
You can't stay so get away
This bedroom tells of our mistakes
Perfume and innocence to take
I am in love but not enough to wait
So take, take your place down on my bed
I am not the same man that you met
I'll be your lover but I'm not your friend
So let's go all the way
Let's go all the way
This dark road will lead right where we want to be
You're driving so take the wheel
I'd take it back to have the chance
To see her laugh, to see her dance
You, you never told me it would be so hard
And now you're saying that you can't stay
You can't stay so get away
This clinic smells of death and shame
Misguided women with no names
I guess the children are the ones to blame
I'll drop you off, be back in ten
We'll never see this place again
We will recover but we won't repent
So let's go all the way
Let's go all the way
This dark road will lead right where we want to be
You're driving so take the wheel
You're driving so take the wheel
You're driving so take the wheel
You're driving so take the wheel, oh
You're driving so take the wheel, oh
You're driving so take the wheel, oh
You're driving so take the wheel
So take the wheel
So take the wheel

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Thanks.
