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.
Irene would you tell me what you said?
Irene would you tell me what you said?
This is my world, and you'll tell me what you said
We could beat them, if you'd tell me what you said
Irene would you tell me what you said?
Irene would you tell me what you said?
This was your world 'til he wished that he was dead
Now it's my world and you'll tell me what you said
Irene would you tell me what you said?
This is my world, and you'll tell me what you said
We could beat them, if you'd tell me what you said
Irene would you tell me what you said?
Irene would you tell me what you said?
This was your world 'til he wished that he was dead
Now it's my world and you'll tell me what you said

@[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.

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.
the speaker's perception of his world is bleak. he realises it's solely his world perception, so he asks someone, perhaps one he loves and trusts, what she sees; do you see what i see?
"he" in the penultimate line, is spoken in third person, that is, referring to himself. a bleak outlook can render thoughts of offing ones self, or, at least wishing yourself dead. but again, the inquiry; someone loves him. it appears to be her. what does she think? does she still wish him dead after seeing his world?
finally, the acceptance of here and "Now"
hey, i updated the lyrics according to the lyrics sheet provided with the vinyl. it might change your interpretation a bit.
