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.
Sitting in a corner all alone,
Staring from the bottom of his soul,
Watching the night come in from the window, window
It'll all collapse tonight, the full moon is here again
In sickness and in health, understanding so demanding
It has no name, there's one for every season
Makes him insane to know
Running away from it all
"I'll be safe in a cornfields", he thinks Hunted by his own,
Again he feels the moon rising on the sky
Find a barn which to sleep in, but can he hide anymore
Someones at the door, understanding too demanding
Can this be wrong, it's love that is not ending
Makes him insane to know
She should not lock the open door
(run away run away, run way)
Full moon is on the sky and He's not a man anymore
Sees the change in Him but can't
(run away run away, run away)
See what became out of her man full moon
Swimming across the bay,
The nit is gray, so calm today
She doesn't want to wait.
"We've gotta make the love complete tonight"
In the mist of the morning he cannot fight anymore
Thousands moon or more, he's been howling
Knock on the door, and scream that is soon ending
Mess on the floor again
She should not lock the open door
(run away run away, run away)
Full moon is on the sky and he's not a man anymore
Sees the change in him but can't
(run away run away, run away)
See what became out of her man
She should not lock the open door
(run away run away, run away)
Full moon is on the sky and he's not a man anymore
Sees the change in him but can't
(run away run away, run away)
See what became out of her darling man
She should not lock the open door
(run away run away, run away)
Full moon is on the sky and he's not a man anymore
See what became out of her man
Staring from the bottom of his soul,
Watching the night come in from the window, window
It'll all collapse tonight, the full moon is here again
In sickness and in health, understanding so demanding
It has no name, there's one for every season
Makes him insane to know
Running away from it all
"I'll be safe in a cornfields", he thinks Hunted by his own,
Again he feels the moon rising on the sky
Find a barn which to sleep in, but can he hide anymore
Someones at the door, understanding too demanding
Can this be wrong, it's love that is not ending
Makes him insane to know
She should not lock the open door
(run away run away, run way)
Full moon is on the sky and He's not a man anymore
Sees the change in Him but can't
(run away run away, run away)
See what became out of her man full moon
Swimming across the bay,
The nit is gray, so calm today
She doesn't want to wait.
"We've gotta make the love complete tonight"

Full moon is on the sky and he's not a man anymore
See what became out of her man

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

@[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 this song is more metaphorical than the simple "werewolf kills chick" story. This song is about how she wants to "complete the love" but he's afraid, and he becomes a terrible person because she wants to love him but he's hiding in his werewolf shell. It's also saying that she's terrified of him, he's become very emotional because of her love and she can't escape from him, but that she shouldn't lock the door he's opened by showing her his emotions.
If that was all confusing, look at it simpler: Man turns into an emotional "monster" and looks for a place to hide from them so she won't see him like this, but she insists on seeing him and finds only this emotional wreck.
